I closed the eur/aud manually as it was reversing and my TS would have been hit. I managed to salvage 25 pips so on to the next setup.

My 50 pip TS was hit on the gbp/chf but still bagged some pips. I have a 50 pip TS on the eur/aud which is still alive. 50 was most likely too tight for a weekly setup but I don't like losers anymore, I avoid them if at all possible. 50 should be ...

Plus 72 pips now for the gbp/chf. edit: now, 3 hours later, only plus 55 pips. A little retracement taking place and I hope it doesn't last.

image I entered this trade shortly after the new candle appeared at 6pm NY time. Long the gbp/chf @ 1.51973, SL @ 1.51540, TP @ 1.53440. The purple line is where it may stall or where I may take partial profits.

I still have an mt4 demo acct and very often use ATR(15) for suggested SL BUT nearby S/R is usually the deciding factor. And yes, I had too big of a position to lose 3% in one trade, bad. p. edit: the loss was real money with Oanda's FXTrade platform ...

My usd/cad SL hit, I gave back all of the 3% I gained the last 10 days. Had I set SL & TP to the Weekly, first idea, but entered and followed on the D., I would still be alive without much more risk. Live & Learn. p

I can be my own worst enemy at times. I studied the aud/nzd chart 2 days ago and decided that the chikou span double top would be a good reasonable take profit goal. As the trade progressed over the next 2 days I became hesitant, impatient, etc. ...

I closed the Aud/nzd early as it has trouble getting to 1.1000. Nevertheless , since 7/24, I have added .031% (3.1%) to my acct; ichimoku is a well thought out strategy. Don't focus on just a certain indicator, the cloud, whatever, it is ...

I have tightened both the SL (1.09690) & TP (1.09900) Earlier, price hit the TP but originally I was looking for 1.10140. My SL is at image BE+15 but hope for more.

I entered long the aud/nzd Daily last night; entry @ 1.09547, SL @ 1.09230; TP @ 1.10140. Again, using ATR (15) and S/R image 09:50 - moved the SL to BE +5 (1.09597) Very tight but I won't let this turn into a loser.

eur/usd - my TP was hit. I based my stops on Oanda's mt4 platform; ATR 15 with some consideration of S/R levels. I trade their FXTrade charts but use some info from mt4 and their news casts. My aud/nzd not faring so well, will post a pic later.

I was in a long trade of usd/jpy, Weekly TF, but got out around 2am (CDT). Glad I did. I bought @ 102.81 and closed @ 102.94 before the big drop at NFP publication. I had a wide enough SL but with the news and weekend looming I just decided to get ...
