Trade No 11 - EUR/USD

Bit late with this post as I've been away due to a personal/family issue.

I have added to my E/U position with another long at 1.4500 (added on the 26th).

Trade No 10 - EUR/USD

Trading has been quite slow lately - been very busy and haven't looked at the charts much.

I was waiting for E/U to re-test 1.4000 for another long entry but I never got it.

I have added a third position though - went long @ 1.4250 yesterday.

Trade No 9 - EUR/USD

Price rejected the key support/resistance level at 1.3750 over the course of the night and the early hours of this morning.

This gave me a nice opportunity to add to my EUR/USD long position with a tight stop.

I added long @ 1.3760 (20 pip stop).

Trade Update

EUR/CAD turned on me!

I happened to be watching events unfold on the 15 minute chart (to get a clear view of price reacting) and I thought I was going to be saved by the pin bar in my chart but I wasn't. I tightened my stop on the break of the pin to 1.3470 which was subsequently hit.



Trade No 8 was therefore closed for a loss of 20 pips (0.5%).

Trade No 8 - EUR/CAD

Got back in long again after test of ascending trendline, test of broken descending trendline and support around 1.3425.

I am long @ 1.3470 (80 pip stop).

Would have gone long off the hammer on the H4 charts but I was asleep then!

  

I therefore decided to drop down to the H1 charts to look for an entry and decided to buy at the close of this mornings (London session) opening candle:

Trade No 7 - AUD/JPY

I posted this possible setup yesterday at Forex Factory and have since taken the trade.

I am long AUD/JPY @ 82.90...


The reasons for the trade were:


1. Retracement to ascending trendline

2. Retracement to support/resistance at 82.50

3. Retracement to fib levels

4.  Hammer formed (as trigger) at the area of interest

Trade Update

Trade No 3 (GBP/USD long @ 1.6100) closed out at breakeven.

Trade No 6 (EUR/CAD long @ 1.3450) closed out for +100 pips.
