TRADE 15 + 16 + 17
SHORT GBP/USD @ 1.6807 EDIT - STOP TO B.E EDIT - STOPPED @ B.E

LONG USD/JPY @ 89.19 EDIT- STOP @ B.E

LONG USD/CHF @ 1.0108 - STOPPED OUT -28.3


COMMENTARY
Perhaps my stops were too tight as price has now rallied in the USD/CHF and crashed in the GBP/USD...
Would have had some nice trades on my hands but got stopped out only to have price reverse direction momentarilly later.

AUD LONG OPPORTUNITY
Looking for possible long opportunity with the AUD/USD pair...
Price action could even go as low as .9200 before it finds support...

One to keep an eye on at any rate...

SOMETHING TO WATCH
Possible some sort of triangle formation is happening here...
We may find some support at around 1.4900 also...

Keep an eye on it...

USD/CHF
Same thing here obviously with this pair as the EUR\USD.
I would say that if we cannot convincingly clear 1.02, some heavy selling could happen...

TRADE 21, 22, 23
LONG GBP/USD @ 1.6648 - CLOSED @ B.E (DIDN'T LIKE OVERALL WEAKNESS OF PRICE ACTION)

LONG EUR/USD @ 1.4886 - EDIT STOPS TO B.E EDIT - CLOSED +5

SHORT USD/CHF @ 1.0160 - EDIT STOPS TO B.E EDIT - CLOSED +5


COMMENTARY
After being up 60 or so pips the trades reversed and closed out. A little frustrating but I guess it's better than a loss.

TRADE 24, 25 UPDATE
Well we have cleared the first set of support/resistance on these trades...
I have a feeling that move could it be it for today but will monitor the position closely...

Currently EUR/USD +83, USD/CHF +63

Charts attached...


EDIT - TRADES CLOSED - +30 & +30


Commentary
-------------
These two pairs saw a fairly fast reversal all the way to the point of entry and then some more. Seem to be stuck in some sort of range at the moment. Will look for a breakout to occur and keep my eyes open for opportunities to enter again.

I hope you realized some of that steep EUR/USD short profit or at least adjusted your stop further into the profit. If my position goes into profit to 10 and I then get stopped to the adjusted profit stop of 3 I don't mind too much, but I imagine that it must be very irritating to see 50 + pips profit get stopped out to 3 pips profit.

Best of luck with everything!
