Good morning everyone,
well, “morning” is a bit imaginary as it is 12:20 right now.
had to burn some Midnight oil again…

DAX has fallen overnight .. it will create a nice Gap (as of now around 12566 (1 Hour before Pre market opening)

quick Scalp up on GOLD
late entry over the vWap .. exit in the first sign of weakness

Another short (and late) scalp on USDJPY
did “Chicken out” and not afterwards, that was a good decition

got rid of the DAX-Hedge .. but the market turned quite strangely due to Draghi Speach .. so i went out before the big move …over all a green ish day .. i think the DAX will go up to 12642, but with recent events on it .. its maybe not such a good idea.

was up until 3 in the morning. now it’s 9 in the morning (same day)

Yesterday was a pretty much non-eventful day because everything waited for FOMC and FED announcements.
however, despite my Bias, all indices did go UP .. which is a very strange behavior ..
okay the DAX will go up because of the EURO dropping so hard. but DOW, Nasdaq, Russel had no real reason to do so.

so in a bit sleepy motion made the first 0.12% on a VERY tiny GOLD scalp.

 not really had an angle to put a take profit anyway .. so I closed it out.

then being stupid for the first time today: the first hedge
was watching AUDJPY making a beautiful Reversal (left on the picture, I did see it as it was +3 from the vWap, so I did not enter there)
entered upwards NZDUSD (right chart) .. realized that AUD and NZD correlating so on the first sign of this going bad, I place a hedge trade as this very likely would turn bad… and it did.

### STREAM STARTS HERE ###

Finally, found an angle on the NZDUSD trade (trendline connecting the last lows) the conjunction point is just a few pips away.

on the way back to the vWap (which is quite common) the SwingFishHelper did Auto-Hedge for me, that was okay but too early, so let’s gamble a little, reversed the Hedge position .. and got out early on the minor-trendline. adding a nice gain of 0.875% to the account. I’m quite sure price may go to the 0.7311 area on NZDUSD (i put an arrow on the chart for my original Target)

.. but since this was a hedge-resolution trade, going out with 0 is the goal .. anything greener is just a gift.

NEVER PUSH YOUR LUCK!
calling it a day with total Gain of 0.995%

beautiful Monday Morning to everyone.

wanted to start the week with a “probe trade” (Long Gold) ..did not work.. so the week starts red .. (what a shame)
well, the day is not over yet .. so let’s see whats gonna happen.

Reversed the gold trade to Short as we are inside a nice channel, however, Siver is above the channel already .. so my initial Long maybe turning out to be the right decision after all.

went Long NZDUSD on a vWap Reversal building up .. but for some reason it does not build up any momentum.

later went short the DAX .. the usual play .. everything straight forward .. but then .. nothing happens !!!
After 4 hours i placed a hedge order so i can leave the house .

and guess what happens about 10 minutes after?
Dax dropped about 145 Points.

well back .. closed the hedge positions .. scaled on as the drop appeared to continue .. and then again .. nothing happens.

seriously ?
well, i have about 5% equity gain locked in a hedge position .. so will see what happening tomorrow with that one 😉

after the fiasko of the last 2 days solved, everthing goes back to normal. (hopefully)
and there we go, start the day first hedge active on gold. (so much for “normal”
Just 8.99$ to boil away TP somewhere at 1320

well now thinking maybe take on the full channel for some nice profit, but there is the vWap in the way ..

truth comes 40 minutes later: as expected, that was a mistake .. next hedge on .. ;(

131   September 13, 2017 11:41   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   GBPAUD • GOLD • NZDUSD

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.
