stopped out this morning at 1.9713. Back in now at 1.9693 but not feeling ever so confident

Brown 'opens up MPC appointments'

Kept the other pinkie dry so far, but imo the yen thingie's almost overcooked.

chocolat - 14 Jun 2007 14:12 - 8076 of 11056

Think that's just about it - otherwise the big toe's for it :S

Seymour Clearly - 14 Jun 2007 19:21 - 8077 of 11056

So far this week I am up 23 points. Been difficult to trade in the absence of any real direction so have taken a few small gains. Also really busy at work so hard to watch. Not one of my better weeks.

EDIT - Does anyone have any idea how to copy chart settings on FXCM powercharts to other PCs if possible?

choccie
Agree about the overcooked sushi - providing it goes my way I'm trying to build short positions from my first entry at 12309. Not that confident because the YEN seems to be acting as the super-duper currency of the moment.

We'll see.

mg - 15 Jun 2007 10:01 - 8079 of 11056

Oh well - yet another bollock dropped on the YEN - really doesn't seem to be my currency - probably because I'm not disciplined enough when it comes to "reading the runes" on this one. I was working on the 60 and 120 minute - which seemed to be suggesting a retreat. They've now both reversed :(

25 point loss to add to yesterday's cock up - and refused to add as it climbed against me - one positive from the experience.

Back to cable until I can curb my urges and hunches - which seems to be the way I've traded the YEN - ridiculous !!

mg - 15 Jun 2007 13:20 - 8080 of 11056

Just call me fickle - but I've been tempted back into a YEN short from 12350. Admittedly it is the 10 minute MACD that's done it - not the best indicator in the world - but it's one of many. Looking for a shed load so probably add along the way - again - provided the wind blows in the right direction - here's hoping.

Abserlootly meggers :S

mg - 15 Jun 2007 13:42 - 8082 of 11056

I blame the drugs 80

mg - 15 Jun 2007 13:50 - 8083 of 11056

Doubled up @ 40

Seymour Clearly - 15 Jun 2007 13:55 - 8084 of 11056

Long cable 727

mg - 15 Jun 2007 14:00 - 8085 of 11056

Nice one SC

I've trebled up short @ 12345.6 - sucker for numbers.

Seymour Clearly - 15 Jun 2007 14:02 - 8086 of 11056

Well, we'll see. Like those numbers :-)

Seymour Clearly - 15 Jun 2007 14:14 - 8087 of 11056

USD/CHF looks ready to turn.

mg - 15 Jun 2007 14:21 - 8088 of 11056

Nice whoosh for you SC - knew I should have stuck with cable - now I know why the Japanese are called in-screw-table.

Could do with a similar whoosh on YEN - down - not up !!

Seymour Clearly - 15 Jun 2007 14:59 - 8089 of 11056

Yep, but set stop at +10 hoping it would continue to go higher, so now out +10 instead of +30 which I could have had..... Trying to let my profits run. Some days it just goes powering on up / down.

Anyway, improved this weeks figures dramatically today along with earlier trades. A few more points would be nice, will have a look after work.

mg - 15 Jun 2007 15:10 - 8090 of 11056

Mine are looking particularly crap - again - pooh.

Seymour Clearly - 15 Jun 2007 15:21 - 8091 of 11056

That USD/JPY looks as though it doesn't want to stop. Incredible. I should just go long on that and sit tight, but I can't buy into it.

Sorry you're having such a tough time. I try to pick bottoms, you're calling tops. Always end in tears when I do it.

I decided - flirting with danger - to leave the shorts open over the weekend. I'm hoping that the in-screw-tables don't shoot up to 12400 as the markets open on Sunday night. If they do I'm going in to sulk mood. If they drop to 12300 I will be uncontrolably ecstatic - neither are very pleasant so you'll know which I'm in by about 07:00 on Monday morning.

This doesn't mean I'm going to keep the kind of hours that chocopops does - i.e. posting at 02:30 on Monday morning - unless, of course, I have to get up for the usual old man's nocturnal activities .... if you know what I mean :)

Probably too much information - but, am I bovvered - nah!!
