Good Morning

05:54 market is still extremely quiet .. so its safer to put on some larger positions (for now)

Divergence data looks interesting Positive: CAD, EUR and Negative: CHF, JPY

05:58 quick Scalp Upwards on EURUSD.

06:01 price falls quickly against me .. closing position as its very large size) with a 0.62% Loss

06:04 re-Enter Long EURUSD with the same size

06:09 Momentum is building .. scaling in on EURUSD

06:16 Closing EURUSD Trades (there is still some upside to somethings around 1.805 .. but the position is too large for a pullback, and I not want to hedge this early. closing paid for the initial loss and added a total gain of 1.04%

06:16 close buy GBPUSD gaining 1.63% (Total: 2.67%)

06:49 Buying in EURAUD .. but I will close this once it’s turned green .. getting very Jumpy

07:00 scaling in on the bottom EURAUD

07:04 closing EURAUD on the jump upwards gaining 0.92%

School run time .. stopping Live Stream with a 3.68% Gain

Good Morning

06:04 market is at a moreless neutral position right now .. any trade open right now are pure speculation .. so we start things “small”

Divergence data looks interesting Positive: CAD, USD, JPY, AUD and Negative: EUR, CHF, GBP

06:05 Completly Speculative Short USDCHF as you can see on H1 .. price is at a point where it could go anyway.
but based on other charts (like EURUSD and USDJPY it looks like it will break out south)

take on smaller size to “probe”

also, the vWap is almost 100% flat. .. but “first come – first serve” 😉

06:28 price retesting the vWap .. scaling in .. but be ready to hedge .. this can very easily go the another way.

06:58 took the position out on Tokyo opening (have to bring my daughter to school anyway) gaining 0.606%

— School Run time (back in a moment) —

07:05 should have waited 5 more minutes .. original TP was hit .. missing out on a 1.5% gain.
well better safe than sorry.

08:43 being a bit aggressive .. buying GBPUSD before vWap .. that may turn out not so good

H1 Chart does look kind of up’ish

08:52 Hedging GBPUSD

09:05 I hate it if I’m right but chicken out. waiting for another reversal

09:20 reversing hedge position with 1.1% loss .. not so sure this was a good idea as the channel top is quite close

10:02 Selling EURAUD targeting the Hourly Trendline. but I may exit at breakeven

10:09 closing GBPUSD trades realizing loss of 0.92%

10:54 EURAUD starts to behave erratic .. probably some momentum in USDollar building up …
will exit once AUDUSD hits the recent trend line.

11:40 AUDUSD broke the cWap downwards (never reached the upper channel .. but, i did not exit as i should have .. EURAUD still on. i start get the feeling this is gonna be a expensive trade .. aiming for Breakeven now .. to get out of this mess .. and re-start on a better price.

12:46 Knowledge turns into hope .. I have not closed the trade yet .. even it does make a vWap reversal to the upside right now

12:50 .. volatility picking up .. making this trade probably even more expensive

13:00 NEWS:

Patrick T. Harker took office on July 1, 2015,

13:07 exiting EURAUD with much larger loss as planned

13:30 quick Scalp long AUDJPY .. very likely going to 88.30 .. but i will exit now covering parts of the lossses

Total Today: -1.43%

05:50 Getting started for a real Quick Session today

divergences do look good for NZD, CHF versus AUD, CAD

today will be a Short Session, as I need some other urgent stuff to attend to.
sorry about that .. I’ll make up for this in the chatroom.

feel free to stop by.

6:04 First Setup is a Tripple set as all 3 had the momentum building up simultaneously

Sell EURUSD

Buy USDCHF

and Buy USDJPY

06:52 exit all trades as the UsDollar Started to swing quite a bit. and I had no vWap confirmation at this point of time
(vWap Reset is with Tokyo Stock Exchange opening, where also UsDollar Futures will come back online)

realizing a 0% loss (no kidding) .. the small EURUSD Gain paid to the cent for the losses

07:12 we have now Volume and UsDollar Data, re-enter all Trades at current price

07:38 Exiting all trades .. realizing 0.804% gain.

this was Day 25

Starting the Trading Day at 7:35 today.

07:49 First Order of the day Long USDSGD.

which may be a bit hotheaded as price touched a horizontal and a vertical resistance line before,
so it is more likely to go down.

07:58 Reversing Position! Shorting USDSGD now.

Current Loss: -0.692%

08:51 Closing the trade at the first Trendline, although i think it will go more down .. the pullback to happen was pretty clear.

Current Gain: +0.503%

09:19 Going long again USDSGD aiming the high/trendline top (maybe I’ll get out at R1 pivot too .. depends on how smooth it goes)

USDollar is still below the vWap .. so this may not work out as planned.

09:29 Closing out early .. (i not exactly sure why .. the price looks pretty solid .. i will make another screenshot later to compare)

Current Gain: +0.774%

10:20 Just as I predicted, the price went exactly to the points I mentioned 1 hour ago. but Without me!

being pissed at me standing in my own way, one Ego-trade on USDCHF for 1.2 pips

Closing today out with a Total gain of 0.906%

P.S. while Preparing for closure TP2 of the analysis on AUDJPY was hit.

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 …

Then AUDJPY: Whipsawed twice, then it did what i expected it to do .. covered the Hedges and added 1,3% gain

Closing up Shop today with a 1.32% Gain.

Good Morning

the DAX Trade is still on .. expecting it to drop .. but have a Hedge on for security

Meanwhile a quick Scalp down on USDCHF

the scalp of USDCHF worked out well .. added about 0.25%

the DAX Trade played out well ..

The position is not closed but Hedged locking in a Total Equity Gain of 9.2%
I may later release the hedge .. or just close the position out realizing the Equity to the Account Balance

Monday Morning (11 September), Markets just opened.

Futures not online yet ..
removed all TP on GBPAUD helping the UB-Noise Algo (was hoping it may go down deeper, as the Strategy has a 600$ drawdown over the weekend)

went Quickly Long on BTCUSD and AUDJPY with very little Bias
just some Scalp trades as i can not really find a clear target

i think AUDJPY will go into the 88AUD Area today …

closed 3 Scalp Trades 1 on BTCUSD

and later AUFJPY 2 more scalps

it is kind of Tricky now as there are no Futures visible yet and the Diviation is really tiny.

got myself into some Whipsaw action ..

closed all at Breakeven .. as i not was live on Youtube anyway.

Live action was kind of a mess.. covered with 53 Trades

and lucky went out Positive afterweards.. not somethings to copy !
guess the Picture speaks for itself

Closed Today wiith 1120.04$ Balance, Total Gain: 12.04%
