With the new year.

Quick review of last trade posted here. I sold NZD-JPY and a week later I'm still in it at about break even. Nothing unusual, that was expected. Here is the current chart

In the meantime, a new trade is emerging. Pair is GBP-CAD and I want to buy it. Entry price is 1.9666 and a target 1.9845. That's how it looks like right now

I'm expecting big moves over next couple of weeks. Happy New Year!

Just in time for Christmas.

The last trade I posted here, long CAD-CHF paid just in time for Holidays. View the last post. Entry was intended to be at 1.1400 with a target of 1.1600. That's exactly what happened and a little faster than expected. Here is the chart

Next on the agenda is NZD-JPY. I'm selling it on the open at about 87.00 or a little below. Depends on how it opens. I'm trying to catch a large move. First target about 84.50 and final exit about 82.50. I'm going to risk 250 pips or so.

This is a large move, so it must be given enough time, 3 weeks seems about right as of this writing, but subject to adjustment as the prices develop.
Merry Christmas!

So, it worked at last.


For last couple of weeks I've been tracking NZD-CAD, looking for a move to a downside. The break was not happening, so kept moving my entry just under most recent low. Finaly the move came last Friday. It fast and furious. By that time my sell was at 0.7905, with a target of 0.7805. It was reached in a little over 2 hours. 100 pips.

Most likely I'll be returning to this cross in not too distant future. For now however focus goes elswhere, CAD-CHF to be exact. My plan is to buy it at 1.1400 and trying to reach 1.1600, or 200 pips. Chances are it will take 2-3 weeks, but I like the set up here

Taking another shot.

My last entry dealt with a potential trade in NZD-CAD. Plan was to sell it at 0.7580 and ride it down to 0.7480. See previous post for the chart. Well, the trade didn't take place as NZD caught a second wind and continued higher.
Now a new set up has been created which looks promising. I have an order to sell NZD-CAD at 0.7755 with a profit target of 0.7655. I'm still looking to capture 100 pips for this move.

So here we are, trade is set and ready to go.

Nice and easy.

The last entry contained a trade in AUD-CHF. I was going to buy 0.9700 but was filled at 0.9710. Position went through rather big pullback, so I decided to hold it longer. Insted of going for 0.9850 I waited a little longer and settled for 0.9900 or 190 pips. Good trade. Here it is.

I'm looking at NZD-CAD now. Plan is to sell it at 0.7580 with a target of 0.7480. Not a large target but this set up is not meant for more.
