Hmmm, I don't trade GU but I'm still bearish on the pound long term. We may see a retracement to 1.81 but only a close above 1.85 would change my bias. That's not to say of course that money can't be made on the retrace. Same with GJ - looking for ...

Stopped out — Well, you can't win 'em all! Looks like the dow being pushed up above 9000 for a bit of Friday Feelgood Factor has bolstered USDJPY & GBPJPY has been dragged along up with it. Result on trade 5 - stopped out for -57 pips. ...

Trade 5 update — Well this one has been a little frustrating... Opened at 174.99 targeting 173.50, it has spent most of the time in profit. Has bounced off 174.20 area twice before finally getting through but then finding 174.00 well ...

What used to be the case was that I would trade the range method before and after work. Now I'm not working I can trade it during mainly London & New York sessions. Historically, the pair can often range in a 1000/1500 pip range for days, weeks & ...

Great post Jason Protecting capital should be absolutely the number one priority in any trading plan. I can't believe it's only a week since I heard the news from my investor. It's been a long one but one I have been able to clear my head and ...

Well, pretty much a perfect day for me with the pair ranging between 176 and 179 for most of it. Trades 1 and 2 closed out for 407 & 143 pips and the ranging system has so far netted a further 850 pips today. Trade 3 (short from 176.46) from the ...

Early days... — Well just two days into the week and the addition of a daily/4hourly trade has saved my ranging system from too much of a battering. Since London open yesterday, GBPJPY has risen the best part of 1200 pips with little retrace. ...

Hey there Pete! Long time no speak! Monaco's post has a lot of great information in... Today, on my own account of course I've started putting that 'filter' in to help when prices move in one direction quickly. So far picked up 500 pips on 5 ...

Tom, Yep, agree with a lot of what you say here. Trouble with me is I do take the odd day off & invariably they turn out to be the days I would've made a killing lol. Just as an aside, I've started today implementing a combined strategy and have so ...
