we can expect a VERY slow Monday today, as there where some interesting moves last week in Japanese Yen and the USDollar, plus today are significant holidays, so don’t expect much.

as expected, erratic market movements, high spreads because of tiny volume, but we made it in under 6 hours.

Yesterdays Interest Rate Decision at the end of the US session created some volatility spike but priced did retrace completely during the same session, this may put the divergence data a bit “off”, doing some range trades instead which turned out quite successful.

Labour-Tuesday, nothing to expect today, so I’ll start an early session. and split it in two.
the second session as quite nice as well, the dollar made some tiny moves which we could capitalize on, no risks or sticky targets where used as volatility spikes can end up becoming very expensive due to slippage.

there where some quite substantial moves over the whole spectrum, as a result of the USDollar movements, so we wither continue that move just as fast, but more likely there will be a consolidation phase now.

the prediction was true, we went into a massive consolidation phase, waited full 7 hours to get the hedge on USDSGD resolved.

Due to some slippage this positive day went to a large loss, but this is part of trading and a reason why we do separate accounts for protection.

Just like Yesterday, markets are reacting very Strange in Asia Session, will close out the last trade on USDSGD as well before it goes to the target, all trades were hedged and recovered successfully, but this also means all of the Setups did not work as planned. better taking the profits made, and call it a day.

Selling Singaporean Dollars for a short range and Buy GOLD twice, where the second buy turned out not to be a long lasting trade as we found later some significant Resistance in the prices. all in all a good day, all trades went to the targets.

Good Morning, after the FOMC event Yesterday, the Divergence data looks quite interesting, but with JPY, EUR, CHF and NZD being neutral.
there is not that much movement to be expected before the Frankfurt opening, besides some pullbacks.

all trades went to the Targets planned a few hours ago, it just took a very long time to get there at minimal drawdown. Closed all a bit more early on minor resistance points.
