Morning everyone, sorry there is no analysis today, as this post, is not made in realtime.
i had some issues to fix this morning first, and made some very bad choices in trades as well.

as a result:

Log: 197 (regardless of its outcome)
should not be considered as advisable part of this log-series.

07:26 bought GOLD and Sold USDJPY

08:32 Reversed gold to Buy in momentum play

08:34 closed USDJPY with flat hedge and a very small gain

bought and sold serval times on GOLD .. due to conflicting pieces of information, causing a massive Drawdown

11:17 still long with 1281.6 and 1287.72 as Targets

11:26 this was maybe not such a good idea to scale in that heavy into the GOLD Buy,
as the USDollar and the Nikkei starting to go up. putting my position again a big loss.

12:01 reversing Gold to sell.

on a side note: if I had not bite myself into GOLD,
seeing USDSGD open all the time where I missed 3 massive opportunities (2 Short / 1 Long)

somethings telling me this will be a very red day.
changing today’s mission from “making money” to “damage control” and reduce the balance drawdown as much as possible.

21:13 it took almost 9 hours to reach to the breakeven point, and just before I was about to close the deal .. price ran up massively giving me another 1.86% loss in just 15 seconds.

closing up for today with a 3.12% loss. (it can’t get any better from here!)

Sunday 18:11 there was a Massive Divergence in JPY on Sunday.. and we talked in the Chatrooms to buy USDJPY and NZDJPY as a result. however, the USDollar Index did simply Gap-UP .. destroying this great opportunity.
the Long setup is still valid, but sadly: far less interesting.

today will be less trading activity ..
wife and kid going overseas, that matters a bit more than streaming my screen here) 😉

08:32 new Divergence data is as normal as usual.

Currency Data now:

• Positive: NZD, JPY

2583   November 14, 2017 23:55   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   GOLD

after Streaming (and the day) was over .. there were some very erratic moves.

I decided to take on it again bought GOLD

and just 14 minutes later the day (which started VERY BAD) went Light Green 😉

took back home all the losses and added a Massive 7.24% to the account.

in the name of beeing transparent, this gain will not be added, and i will also not update the previous post or Youtube Title.

as losses are a part of doing this, this should be shown just the same as gains.

P.S.: remember: only Instagram and Twitter Traders are always green 😉

05:33 Good Monday morning

Today
Positive: NZD, JPY 
Negative: CAD, EUR, GBP

lines go somewhat “flat” .. which is usually an indication for some nice range moves to come up.
however, the Nikkei Index was falling quite heavy .. dragging JPY Pairs down with it.

we not have any Futures data yet, but the USDollarchart has a small gap up .. which usually indicated the price will quickly go up.

05:49 Buy USDJPY

05:53 I noticed the Trendline I drew last Thuesday (channel top) .. this made me doubt the Buy position a little bit and once the price went green place a Hedge Short on USDJPY Locking a 0.113% Floating profit.
since the Futures are not online yet, and the Liquidity is basically not existing.. the spread is very unstable, will hold this for a little while. as the spread will go smaller, mean more profit for me.

06:05 Closing Hedged positions on USDJPY, as momentum builds, gaining 0.12% Profit on the account.

06:09 re-entering USDJPY Buy .. (mainly because the Nikkei price feed went up good)

I think USDJPY will go something around 113.72

06:14 Indices online now .. Scaling in 110% on USDJPY Buy.

06:50 Closing all USDJPY Positions gaining 2.543% .. that is definitely a good start in the week.

Shool-Run Time

### Stopping live Stream Here ###

I may be back streaming later today

09:10 Bought Gold for a Quick Scalp

09:13 Close it with 0.1% gain (probably goes up to 1277 .. but won’t risk it)

13:04 quick catching some falling knife on USDJPY to the Pivot point.
maybe fall more, but the pivot is kind of a safe bet. adding 0.903% to the account

okay I have to admit, the size was kind of large, but if the chance does present itself, you have to take it. without hesitation.

Total Gain Today: 3.651%

2388   November 9, 2017 16:17   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   GBPJPY • GOLD • USDJPY

02:44 a VERY Early Thursday Session (i may trade later again, but can’t promise anything as i may be a bit busy today)

02:59Buying USDJPY

03:01Scaling in USDJPY and Buying GOLD for a quick jump up

03:05Close GOLD Trade for a small gain.

03:18Closing USDJPY with a small gain (i had it hedged in between .. so this trade was about preserving Capital)
as the upper trendline was the original Target.

03:39Buying USDJPY again, which was stupid, as the price reached the upper trendline already.

also, the DXY at the vWap and Gold just fall back to the vWap as well.
as a result, Reversed USDJPY to Short (realizing a 1.2% loss) and Bought Gold.

03:47Close USDJPY Sell for a nice Profit.

03:47Close GOLD Buy as well with a small Profit

03:57Buy GBPJPY

03:57 price suddenly dropped on GBPJPY .. so I scaled in 2 times until it bounced off the vWap

04:14Closing all GBPJPY Trades, price surely going all the way to 149.42,
but at this time I will just take the profits and let it be. (feel not so confident)

### Stream Stops here ###

and just as promised .. price went right with the next candle all the way up to the Trendline.

11:14 some mass scalping parallel on GBPUSD, GBPJPY and USDJPY.
only the USDJPY trade worked out .. and paid for all the other hedged trades

USDJPY very likely to fall to the 113.80 area.

11:52 wow that call went down really fast. “113.8 as promised”

2354   November 8, 2017 16:41   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   GOLD • USDJPY • USDSGD

10:41 Very late again this Wednesday

Today
Positive: JPY, CHF 
Negative: AUD, CAD, NZD
EUR and USD almost Neutral 

10:49 Buying USDSGD

10:51 Hedging USDSGD as we too far from the vWap and Euro appears to be turning.

11:17 Good thing about the hedge.. the US Dollar Index is somewhat very undecided .. it basically can go anywhere from here. we wait for a little while

11:53 i may hold on to the USDSGD hedge a bit longer.

• the Triangle is just 7 pips wide. very hard to find an exit.
• other US-related Pairs moving upwards
• DXY is still below the vWap bouncing along the trendline

12:32 reversing USDSGD Short Hedge realizing 0.48% gain.
the situation is still a bit tricky .. DXY still below vWap

13:02 closing USDSGD buy early, hedge and original trades went out green pushing the account to a 2.7% Gain

14:01 instead of being smart, I was stupid .. and bought the reversal of USDJPY right before Frankfurt opening.
things can change quickly, and they did, hedged about 12 minutes later.

14:25 to make things worse .. reversed the hedge right at the DXY lower trendline.
i either run now into a huge loss or DXY breaks out downwards and we good … very stupid decision indeed.

15:42 closing all USDJPY Trades .. realizing 0.72% loss.

15:10 – 16:35 .. got me into a mess with GOLD.
closing it all out for now with a big loss

16:21 Buying GOLD for upper trendline Target

### Stream Stops here ###

17:59 SwingFish Helper closed all positions at Breakeven point
gaining 4.21% due to massive Positions and Momentum-Slippage.

20:38 Buying USDJPY on the Trendline Bounce,
additional confirmation as DXY did hit the vWap, so a small retracement was very sure, bought in a large position.

20:42 Closing USDJPY gaining another 0.5% Equity.

Total Gain Today: 3.139%
