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.

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)

1052   October 2, 2017 07:59   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   EURUSD • USDSGD

this was Day 21

Good Early October Morning everyone

first Flavour of the day. Long EURUSD .. which turned quickly into a bad idea .. Reversed to Short after the vWap Retest. starting the day with a 0.32% loss for reversing the trade.

aiming now Short to the 1.178 Area. but maybe exit once the reversal loss is paid so i can start over with a green Zero,
I have not yet decided on that.

Tokyo Opening .. UsDollar Futures Gapping up Quite a bit .. my EURUSD trade is at 61% Retracement. Taking Profit here!
paid for the reverse Action/Hedge and added 0.28% to the account.

Next USDSGD vWap Reversal Upwards
scaled in 2 times for no reason … hope that plays out .. since this is a bit too much risk.

Gold gained some Upwards Momentum, even the USDX still were going upwards.
so I decided to exit early, leaving about 4pip on the Table.

Closing this Monday Morning out with a Gain of 1.458%

Conclution:

as you can see on the picture I took just 6 Minutes after closing the trade.

it’s not always a good idea to react immediately to correlations! Always trade what you see !!

781   September 25, 2017 23:50   SwingFish   Trading Room Journal   AUDSGD • DAX • EURAUD • USDSGD

in the Aftermath of the German Election . Good morning everyone,

strangely DAX Futures gaped down but that gap could not even be considered as such, so much for the bad Afd Party shock.

start the day with a short Trade on USDSGD.
looked very clean, but then sitting on the toilet and watching it from my Mobile, made me change my mind, sold the risk and set the Stop to +0.7. which was then hit about 2 minutes later. gain 0.21% for the Chicken out trade 😉

Later a Nice vWap Reversal on EURAUD, failed once but on the second try, it worked as expected. (another tiny gain)

Quick Trade on AUDSGD .. which led to an Auto Hedge, which I choose then to ignore as I went on the DAX

the DAX, however, turned into a massive Whipsaw massacre .. tons of trades and cover trades to pay for losses.
in the end, went out with a 0.796% Total gain for the day. so let’s just ignore that this did happen at all 😉
