all my freerolls are nixed after the market spiked down ... assumed it had to do w/ the yen rate announcement, but cant find anything to confirm that. the overnite call rates were released however & the yen raised its rate slightly, but that's all i ...

cant say the same for my short term trades on E/U. 2 losses. both 0.5% which is pretty good cuz i limited my losses. all of the really good pullbacks tonite have been off the slower MA's which i didn't take or missed, but kind of crappy trading all ...

trying to get another free trade going w/ the USDCAD. jumped in off an hourly IB. also having a go at a potential swing trade on the EURUSD (engulfing bar on the daily for a long) jumped in early off an hourly IB too (actually, there was a better ...

found 1 trade during the NY close for a quick 0.7% ... simple pullback trade. spreads up. nothin's open for a few hours so that's it for now.

alright. totally lost focus. the run up to 3000 was missed cuz i was distracted by something else ... sign it's time to pack it in. still ended the session on a positive note tho. however, lots of potential trades due to focus/patience issues, but ...

nevertheless, i think for the first time i think i could create a profitable trading system for myself w/ this swing trading ... however, it's probably imperative that i have multiple monitors & a great alert system to help me navigate around so im ...

looks like this is about to break the IB to the short side on the hourly. not too thrilled about going short to go long or maybe it's just going short, but the entire set-up is off kilter on this pair.

stopped out w/ my 1:1 ... it would be great to find another set-up for another shot at a b/e trade to 1800, but i am still lacking any patience for this. found an alternative entry for the USDJPY ... if it triggers by 3:00 a.m., great. if not, ...

found another IB at a pullback & a swing low & just so happened MACD & ADX did not contradict. got spiked out at 1:1. market still 15 pips from 3000. net 0.7% on that one. 3.6% for the session. it would be neat to clear my own round number on this ...

a little too much goofing around w/ the swing trading & finessing the 5 min entries the indicators & i missed a very obvious pullback trade that would presently be locked in at 2:1. im starting to have deja vu re reliance on indicators ...
