21/07 — Another promising day. It was actually so smooth, and at the end I had such a big gain, that I started to feel uncomfortable in my positions. I believe I did the right thing then: I closed them. USDJPY short @ 116.83 TP 116.22 +61 pips ...

20/07 — An exceptionally good day today. No losses. Some luck, and some discipline. I reevaluated my short term view, and went short on the dollar. There were no major news releases today, so there was no temptation to enter before. I could ...

My trade of the FOMC announcement — As I was uncertain about what the FED will announce (not the 25 bps hike but the rhetoric), but I was sure there will be volatility, I placed two stop orders slightly above of the day's high for going long, ...

Most probably a 25 bp rate hike will not have an effect in itself, as it is already priced is. The question is the rhetoric of the announcement. If it suggests further raises, the dollar can strenghten. There is not much room for dollar strength ...
