Early Friday Session (have some Official stuff to do in the morning)

First Started off with AUDJPY Long.
the vWap went Flat .. so this was not such a good choice, and it was soley based on the USDollar movements. (this is the trade-Set i have hedged and likely take with me over the weekend, if i not continue trading later on)
a Qucik Scalp downwards on USDMXN .. worked well
nothing much to say about it .. was plain Bias entry .. no technical stuff, just the fact that the USDollar was going down.

GBPAUD vWap Reversal down .. early exit
first anticipated a long trade .. then reverted to Short which worked well.
for some reason, I exit early .. as the target (trendline was 6 pips down below) and it was reached as well just a few minutes later.

the Reverals play on AUDJPY did cost plenty of Points and Money, so this Session closes with a loss of 0.92%

P.S: i may have some trades in NY Session, but can’t promise anything …

Morning Everyone .. well it’s more Night as it’s about 4 am right now.

in the morning i have to make some Government runs .. so no Asia session trades.
to keep the spirit and not break the chain .. I made a few trades before going to bed.

turned out in 4 Setups (where 2 of them are still active)

USDMXN Hedged with 4pips distance and AUDJPY hedged with 1 pip distance.

for the working ones:

USDCHF quick scalp down from the vWap to the next short-term point. worked out flawless with 0 drawdown.

then GBPAUD, this one was a more a cover trade for the failed AUDJPY Trade, it took forever but went as planned so i exit at the next top point to realize the Profit, and placed a Hedge on the AUDJPY Trade.

 

the Hedges USDMXN and AUDJPY where stupid rush-trades.
both have almost flat vWap and the Price Structure did not point any clear direction.
midterm USDMXN is due to fall and AUDJPY to rise .. but that is for another day

Closing up Shop today with a +0.945% Gain.

P.S: i may have some trades in NY Session, but can’t promise anything …

a ‘close one’ 58% Drawdown then 715$ gain

a ‘close one’ 58% Drawdown then 715$ gain

947   September 25, 2017 15:21   SwingFish   Strategies  

Starting September 21. GBPAUD startet to massively Rise .. with no pullback at all.Friday there

this caused a 58% Drawdown.

We Turned off AutoTrade, Placed a Short Order at the Peak of 3 Lots and waited it out.

at price then finally falled we experiences a 715$ Equity Raise, closed all trades and continue AutoTrade.

Total Gain as of then: +41.94%

that was a “close one”

the Drawdown caused however a Margin call on the Demo account that is used to Mirror the trades to the cTrader Network
i have not checked this account for a very long time … so i also placed a additionsl short order there to pay for the margin calls, which turned out just fine. here is a extra post about the Mirror-account.

the Demo account that mirrors the Live account for the UB-Noise Strategy was margin called Last night.

sorry about that. i had not checked the balance on that account for ages, since this account is only used to copy trades to the cTrader Platform.

the Live account is still in massive drawdown (as expected) but all trades are still active there.

Good Morning everyone,
after yesterdays Party, the dust settled and i have to look at the Damage made so far.

the Gold Trade is still on with a Whooping 319% gain (well thats about 40% in real terms compared to the Account balance of Yesterday before the Gau Started.
so there is still some pips to be made ..  14$ on Gold to be exact.
(since iam holding about 2.2 Kilogramms of Gold, that 14$ will be substantial)

there will be very likely no trades till this is sorted out, as Damage-control and Capital preservation is most important in Trading.


Quick trade on GBPAUD for 5.5pips to have the “no trades” title go away 🙂


Chcicken out on NZDUSD, looked good on M7 chart .. but the M30 chart revealed a down sloping Price..
cancel that one with 0.6Pip Profit

Sadly due to the massive drop happen on GOLD and all other Pairs simultaniously the moment New York Stock Exchange came online, a major part of the hedged position was liquidated.

Friday (8 September) .. is usually a tricky day
and here is the proof
was up +2% already but then gave it back on Frankfurt opening ..
here it goes:
First GBPAUD assumed a vWap Reversal to the Upside,
did not happen so on the bounce right before the target Trendline
released the Hedge Position get out with about 0.5% profit
51
USDJPY Massacare
same as Above, suspected a bounce Upwards, did not happen
again before the target Trendline, released the Hedge Closed all at the Trendline
Got Greedy afterwards .. bought in (even its stupid to do) .. well went out green as well
54
at this point i was Up 2.06% .. should have called it a day .. but didnt ..
Made another nice Profit on vWap reversal
re-entered .. and price droped hard on me ..
Hedged .. try to resolve it 4 times which causes substantial drawdown
i set the SwingFish Helper Robot to take profit once he hedge turned the loss to zero .. i however stoped the Bot and closed the trade with massive Gain .. putting todays Total to 0.92%
55
Ending Balance: 1091.81 Total gain: 9.18%
