My long gbp nzd and usd cad from last week are in good shape with yesterday’s risk off moves, annoyingly I don’t have any Yen but looking for any opportunity to enter – may not come the way it’s looking, well done to all those who saw this coming and had the patience to hold on to Jpy.
Well done Tally .
Not sure where you hail from, but having to endure the Asia session for many years has taught me a lot about patience ?
Indeed H, zen like patience is an area I still have to work on. Maybe it’s because im a Londoner 😛
Also thx for sharing your Asian sessions insights
That I luv London so ?
One thing we have in common mate 😉
Interesting insight re enduring and patience. Thx for sharing
I think that’s one of the most important aspects to trading, Roro –
Even for scalpers such a myself. Some sessions you see many trades that you want a piece of – others you see little. That’s the danger time when you feel you should be doing something and usually feck up. Most of the trading time should be spent sitting. Many can’t handle it.
Hi Dubsy, bit late but better late than not at all sometimes lol, Yep great wisdom imparted by you, Confucius like :). I missed the fun which started in the Asia graveyard shift after last night ‘s great late win. Tried catching the knife and got stabbed a little a couple of times which makes my sore head feel better 😉 , atvb mate Chris
I’ve promised the trading room that I’m not to watch any of the games .
Every time I watch an England game they seem to lose or scrape an unconvincing draw
.K man has promised me a crate of Belgium’s finest ales if I watch the England v Belgium match ?
Lol 🙂 I’d take the beer Dubsy but then again maybe not as K may know all not well in their camp with one player sent home already. It may be the best time for us to play them, as I don’t think they will confuse playing ruby with football with Harry in the box. Its going to be a great high scoring attacking game, just hope we can score a late win like when Platte scored :), sorry K, atvb Chris
Good morning all together,
Short USDJPY, Short USDMXN.
On trade wars and a mixed RBA back short AUDJPY on stop through yesterday’s lows overnight. Note USD rates are coming off over trade tensions which is traditionally supporting JPY. Energy and commod prices lower ditto and the uncertainty over what’s to happen next in the Korean peninsula with Kim’s approach back to China only adds to the stress. I reckon there’s more pain to come. Watch out for the equity markets today.
I also, as per live room, added a small long EURGBP last night right around here. UK govt jitters, delays in Brexit talks, housing mkt seems to further slow down. Can’t be good for the Pound despite England scrappy victory over Tunisia…
ZAR is suffering hard from commod prices declines. 13.92-14.02 are levels to watch out for more stress
holding EURUSD shorts, out early on EURJPY so waiting to enter again
holding small short of gold as per USDX going up and risk off sentiment
assessing my USDCAD longs. maybe to get out temporary around 1.3260 cuz that TL going form aug 2017
Nicely played on the USD positioning Zoran
Ok … where do we start ? 😉
Busy day yesterday. Started out with a few good trades in Monday’s Asia session – EURNZD and EURAUD shorts, but they soon switched around and turned bullish. A few assorted scalps taken for +10’s -30’s which helped make yesterday a fair days work .
On to today– and here’s hoping for more Yen strength and more 2 way action and opportunities is USD pairs. Nothing I want to rush into that’s paired with USD at this time ( apart from my USDJPY short positions ). We’re sure to see some intraday twists and turns. — I will post some scalps up live when if / when I see something of interest . Hope you are all fine and have not been adversely effected by these overnight moves .
Morning all, Trump took the last of my position in AUDJPY overnight on a TP through 81.50 so back to being flat. (but for me it was my best trade yet having scaled in with an average entry of 83.138, risk wasn’t done right so basically worth nothing but the experience of managing on the way down was worth it)
So today back to flat, and everything seems to be heading on it’s way as i type which is usually where I’d jump in and end up selling the exact lows so today i wait if nothing changes looking for a retrace in EURJPY and AUDUSD to sell but i refuse to chase today and I’d rather have nothing than a bunch of crap bought in the lows.
AUDJPY, GBPUSD, EURUSD and USDCAD are also being watched but to try and enter all of them and trade them well, i feel for me at this time would get messy but I’d sell the first three and buy USDCAD.
Have a good day all 🙂
Nice to get a good trade in – does great for personal morale and psyche.
The art of the game from here is to not feel you’re invincible . Take your time and add to that win.
Thank’s H possibly the fact i want to trade every single pair on my screen all at once maybe evidence of this even if i hadn’t realised it. (*takes deep breath* and calm)
Morning folks
AUDUSD stop hit in my long. I didn’t leave any further bids in overnight so was just the one entry blown.
GBPUSD also breaking May lows now and EURUSD seems to be intent on trying the same. I may look to scalp a first test of 1.1500 if it comes as there’s barrier action and plenty of bids there.
The increased trade wars rhetoric was a big fly in the ointment, as I mentioned yesterday, so while the techs are tradeable, we have to take the conditions into account and trade accordingly. I won’t be going in big at all if I decide to go against the trend.
In the meantime, I’m not going to chase any of these moves lower as we’ve already come quite far since yesterday.
Good luck folks.
