triphop replied Jul 12, 2013pretty accurate I'd say for yesterday. a lot less accurate was a hellish rise in GU that I fell foul of. Still extracating myself out of it, and looking for short at 185, assuming this current swing holds, which it should. Others will be moving but ...

triphop replied Jul 11, 2013A reminder why not to leave overnight positions without stops. Which I didn't. But just a reminder! shorting UY from this level - 99.46, and gunning for 98.75.

triphop replied Jul 10, 2013Taking that for 50 and 20 uy and uchf respectedly and stepping back for a think.

triphop replied Jul 10, 2013Must have had sun stroke this morning, uchf long at 82, not short (price was above, and I don't do stop order breakouts), which means that the chfjpy was never destined to work. It was thankfully light, made up by the uy trade at the moment. Gunning ...

triphop replied Jul 10, 2013OK scrapping echf longs, looking afresh... price is in a funny place across a lot of pairs, so in with orders on UCHF short from 82, uy long from 99.88. I've done a light long right now into chfjpy (expressing both positions), in case the others ...

triphop replied Jul 9, 2013OK that's done for the day - we're heading up eurchf as far as I can see. I'm long at 400 overnight if it hits otherwise see what tomorrow.

triphop replied Jul 9, 2013Hmm, hanging around at entry. I give it about 30 minutes, and then if it's not shifted, I'm out because no long term downward bias.

triphop replied Jul 9, 2013Anyone for a third crack at this? Currently at 52, short from here. If it runs to 67, I'll trade out, otherwise this one could run to 28

triphop replied Jul 9, 2013Was a very short short for a handful. So this morning, not got a lot of golden opportunities to date, looking at eurchf for a short . IT's at 440 right now, having just spiked up, looking for a retrace to nudge the highs, maybe even top them for a ...

triphop replied Jul 8, 2013Friday was too grim for words, but I may have found something that will (just about) make it more palatable. In the meantime, taken a quick scalp on GU for 20 but more importantly, looking at a yen turn here, shorting EY right here. No recoveries.

triphop replied Jul 5, 2013Well that was a proper fuck up. UY fine 100.80 as planned, but GU. I ask you. Going to lick my wounds a while.

triphop replied Jul 5, 2013GU still heavy expect we'll take it to the US figs to see a proper retrace, it's long for me at these levels, again possible shorts at 170 on PA. UY still long from yesterday, looking through the others. UY I want out around 80, but it could ...

triphop replied Jul 4, 2013Done some more crunching and projections and I'm on to next phase of my plan. About time too. I'm going to run this journal till I hit my next target. doesn't matter what it is, but if I continue current form till then we're looking at early ...

triphop replied Jul 4, 2013I've crunched some serious account numbers now, and confirmed what I thought might be the case. The result of trading so frequently and for smaller gains is what generates a smooth equity curve. The only way of really improving is figuring a way out ...

triphop replied Jul 4, 2013Something else I thought of about long-term positions (ie more than intraday). Holding overnight means placing stops or having a very low position size. Because retraces back to entry are so common it's a losing proposition if the stop's placed ...

triphop replied Jul 4, 2013GU fatal! That's 159 pips I didn't get. But good to look at extreme reactions like that, and think how I'd trade out of it if I was positioned long. First pause was at 106, then at 154, still dropping but I don't see going much past 081 (not a ...
