Good Monday Morning

06:18 Morning everyone

NZD swang up massive resulting of Yesterdays night-spikes … its still unclear what caused that moe .. but there is some corrections be expected today or tomorrow.

Divergence data
Positive: GBP, EUR
Negative: JPY, CHF

06:23 Buying AUDUSD

09:26 Scaling in 100% on AUDUSD Buy

09:31 did not work .. hedging with 3.3 pips .. not life-ending stuff, just a bad start.

06:52 place Buy Limit GBPCHF with a target of 36 pips .. (upper trendline)

06:56 delete Buy Limit on GBPCHF (better wait for Tokyo open)

06:57 reversing AUDUSD Hedge .. realizing a 2.14% loss
06:57 SwingFish Helper Algo did auto hedge just a few sec later .. as the price went down again.

10:04 closed with half the loss back in all AUDUSD trades as we reached the trendline.

10:09 got me in a Gold mess  (sorry no entry screenshot)
hedged twice realized a tiny profit .. but account still down 1.54%

11:10 after a lot of up and downs .. I put a final 100% hedge on .. waiting for a better location.
still long bias .. but the USDollar does not cooperate.

11:15 meanwhile the GBPCHF trade which i did NOT take .. worked out well ..

11:21 reversing GOLD hedge to buy positions.
maybe not so good idea as we are right at the trendline now ..

16:20 .. going out .. gold trades are still on
set SwingFish helper to sell everything once P?L goes green

23:19 Swingfish Helper closes all Trades with good profit, adding a gain of 3.73%

Total Loss Today: 2.185%

183 | +3.164% | 4 Setups

Wednesday

09:40 good Tuesday Morning.

NZD swang up massive resulting of Yesterdays night-spikes … its still unclear what caused that moe .. but there is some corrections be expected today or tomorrow.

Divergence data
Positive: NZD, GBP
Negative: JPY, CAD

09:42 Buy AUDJPY
quick scalp for 5 pips upwards to the trendline from the M30 Chart

09:56 Buying CADJPY
maybe was not such a great idea .. as the correlation to AUDJPY will basically double the risk

10:09 sell GOLD

10:25 .. no trades closed yet

11:46 scaling out of AUDJPY Buy trade (sell back 92% of the position for a 0.632% Loss)

12:13 Closing CADJPY a tiny bit over breakeven.

12:13 as for AUDJPY Buy … “I’m going down with the ship !!” (at least till the 3€ blows)

12:53 Buy USDJPY

12:58 Scaling in USDJPY Buy with 40%

14:12 Closing AUDJPY Buy once it paid for the scale out

14:14 of course .. 2 minutes later it ran straight into my original TP level leaving a 0.6% gain in the market

15:00 scaling in on USDJPY Buy, that may be a massive mistake as the USDollar Index dramatically dropping, betting on opening volatility to seal the deal.

15.48 Closing GOLD buy trade with 1.9% Loss, as DXY starts to get some traction downwards, Gold may raise quickly.
the Nikkei, however, is still strong so we keep the USDJPY buy trade open. (USDJPY will pay for that one, hopefully)

15:55 Scaling in saved the day, closing all trades with 2.346% gain.

Total Gain Today 3.164%

181 | +4.289% | 2 Setups

2081   October 30, 2017 22:18   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   AUDUSD • GOLD

Monday Morning

sorry guys, no Divergence data or Live-Stream Today.
im still off .. and the internet is terrible (but the beach is nice .. you can see it here)

08:45 Buying AUDUSD … just a quick look at the structure suggested me a 12 pip move.

08:53 .. too much action around here (kids, peoples, staff, whatever … I thought its holiday ?)
08:53 Closing AUDUSD Trade with barely 1 pip, gaining 0.12% (better than nothing)

### Stream Starts here ###

21:00 finally back home … firing up the Trade Computer .. in urgent need to put on something to make my Mark 😉

21:20 Quick Shorting GOLD
back to the vWap .. as the price just a few minutes ago hit the top of the channel.
Risk Reward Ratio Sucks .. as the price can easily go back up …
and guess what ? it did get up .. instead of hedging .. I scaled in.

21:30 Closing GOLD Shorts adding 4.169% to the account .. Yay .. that was a short session indeed!

Gain Today: 4.289%

P.S. glad I did exit early .. price went as expected, back up to the channel Top, it will go down, no doubt, but t his swings can cost a lot of money!

180.0 Friday Morning Layout Test and Gold Scalping, Gaining 3.1%

2046   October 27, 2017 01:16   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   GOLD

to eliminate another Psychology based Factor that makes you breed FOMO (among other things).

I changed the Charting Templates to becompletely in Blue/Violet colors.
(dont ask why, its just most easy to read/see)

however due to the lack of information (if needed) i filled the Bull-Candles (Candles going upwards) with a Violet’ish color. the point is that it’s difficult to see. so if i really want to find a Bull candle i still can, but in normal operations, this will apear like they are all the same.

Indicators used:

• vWap – with optional Standard Diviation
• Intraday Pivot Points
• Fractals

the “Big Picture” Chart below is unchanged:

to crown the new layout I made a few tests gained 3.1% in just 23 Minutes.

no worries, there will be a “real” Trading session later .. going to bed now.

sorry about the video has no sound …
I was not even planning on streaming this .. so this is just the screen recording the Streaming software makes.

Tuesday Morning (late again)

10:02 today will be less trading .. as i have some other stuff to do and got out of bed quite late as well (again)

Divergence data
Positive: JPY
Negative: NZD, USD, EUR

10:31 Short USDSGD and Long GOLD (both just scalp trades with small setup bias)

10:41 Closing USDSGD Short gaining 0.253%

10:55 Hedging GOLD (although this looks like a bad place to place a hedge)

11:12 Reversed the GOLD Hedge to Long.
but honestly, i’m not so sure this was a wise choice of action, as EURUSD still falling.

11:33 Reversing again on GOLD to enable the hedge, Gaining another 0.32%

11:40 DXY Update

11:42 turned out correct, it as a bad idea.

11:51 EURUSD at vWap .. let’s hope the bounce there will move gold more up, so I can get out of it without too much harm.

12:02 Hedging again GOLD .. leave it till price move elsewhere,
USDJPY unclear and EURUSD on the vWap as well.
it still looks like it’s going more UP .. but a swing down on a Volatility spike would be too expensive, due to the fact that the position is far too big.

14:01 used the Volatility of the Frankfurt bell to close out all trades. that caused a large profit on GOLD

14:12 I wrote in the chatroom about 30 minutes ago we may see the Pivot as well and guess what just happened?

that would have doubled the gain, but if removing hedges by reversing positions is double the risk, so no gambling!
keep in Mind FOMO KILLS !!

Monday Morning

10:02 today will be less trading,
have some other stuff to do and got out of bed quite late as well

Divergence data
Positive: NZD, JPY, AUD
Negative: USD, EUR, CAD

Labour Day in Australia so we ignore AUD Divergence

10:02 vWap Reversal Long GOLD

10:08 auto-Hedge triggered, as I did wrongly calculate the position size.
Gold looks more like going down anyway .. so we leave the hedge on for a moment and see how it will play out.

11:10 Reversing Hedge to scale in upwards on GOLD realizing a 1.1% loss
not sure this was a great idea as the vWap has no clear direction yet.

it is a bit “countertrend” on the  USDollar, lets hope that plays out in some positive way

12:06 exit GOLD Buy early, leaving about 0.3% in the market (dont, want to give back a large portion in news-related Pullback)

Total Today: +1.078%

Good Monday Morning

05:52 Starting late in the day today, no divergence Data today

05:59 Buying USDSGD and EURAUD

06:05 EURAUD Hedge triggered

06:31 exiting USDSGD Long a bit Early gaining 0.801%
not so sure what EURAUD is up to .. it looks like its start to fall .. but its too early to tell for sure, Hedge stays on.

06:45 decided to re-short EURUAD to get rid of the hedge

07:29 price reached the original Target .. but I did not exit, as the higher timeframe does suggest a retest of the trendline (M30)

however, after making the screenshot of M30 .. I think it is better to exit, as we are very close to the Line already

07:47 exit EURAUD Trade with some profits that paid for the loss on the hedge, but still negative.

it is likely to go up another 15-17 pips .. but we better not risk it.

08:52 back from Shool-Run .. re-Shorting EURAUD back to toe trendline I did go long from before

likely to go more down, but I not so sure I should risk it or not.

09:45 chicken out on EURAUD .. trade made up for the loss so far

USDSGD did go as planned to the Trendline target .. but much later .. giving us far more gain

12:03 Buy Gold

12:41 exit Gold as USDollar touched the vWap .. (possible pullback)

13:06 re-Buy GOLD

13:50 closing GOLD Buy (it was supposed to got to 1306.2 .. but the momentum was somehow lost)

14:20 re_buy Gold .. (Greeed) 😉

Total Today: +0.841%

1338   October 10, 2017 11:57   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   GOLD • USDJPY

Tuesday, we have a very heavy Rain-Storm outside right now,
if the live stream is offline suddendly, that means the electricity is out ..

08:50 Short USDJPY, classic reversal, but this may not work out as the Nikkei index is going up

09:40 Long GOLD on the vWap, this could be a long-term trade, but I think ill call it a day early today.so

so let’s see how far we do go

9:45 price dropped back to the vWap .. scaling in with a few Oz

11:20 running out of patience .. thinking of closing out both trades and realize the gain of 1.24%

11:35 patience pays .. well 6 minutes (haha)

### Live Stream Ends here! ###

11:41 Price went back up .. I re-enter short USDJPY, basically trading the same range once again.

11:42 new Setup Buying AUDUSD, which is basically just capturing the USDollar movement that accelerated USDJPY as well.
yes, price did go up further, but this was just a quick scalp so once the micro-range is filled -> OUT.

11:45 scaling in the AUDUSD Long on Gold (also a trade based on the USDollar Reaction with a very close target)

15:30 FOMO Short at the DAX in a 22 Second Trade, was bitching in the Chatroom that there is no pullback on the DAX decline .. so i entered with a market order Short on DE30 (DAX) went to the chatroom and the sec. i turned my head .. the order was gone .. thinking WTF ??
few secounds raealised that the trade was gone in just 20 sec. (so upset this trade is not on Youtube)

closing out the day with 2.72% Gain on 5 Setups

1089   October 3, 2017 23:46   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   AUDUSD • GBPAUD • GOLD • NZDUSD • USDSGD

this was Day 22

by far .. a more interesting Tuesday Morning as yesterday was dead Boring !

DXY di raise up quite good, but as we know, this may change on the session change the Europe.

GBPAUD Short was first .. price bouncing along the vWap, it looks kind of Short’ish so lets do it.
exit at Trendline that marks the Flag Pattern.

Next one was NZDUSD, went short first, with S1 as Target, which went bad rather quickly.
reversed the trade to long .. went out with -3.1 and +1.7 .. breakeven

Very quick AUDUSD Scalp .. which turned out rather depressing as the price did drop massively due to news .. FOMO .. but thats okay .. not trading it and risking it all. just the +1 on AUDUSD are good enough.

Last one .. GOLD .. same scenario .. vWap trade in the wrong Direction ..
reversed quickly .., and while writing this its still open.

while waiting for the Gold Trade to play out (which is not going well btw) as the USDollar starts to flicker
i saw a nice possible reversal on USDSGD .. placing a BUY LIMIT order a bit above the vWap.

USDSGD Pending Order Deleted, after price reversed before it was filled.
GOLD caused a loss .. eliminating almost all gains.

Closing this Tuesday Morning out with a Gain of 0.12% (Green Zero)
