Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

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

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.

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 !!

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

I blame the drugs 80

Doubled up @ 40

Long cable 727

Nice one SC

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

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

USD/CHF looks ready to turn.

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 !!

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.

Mine are looking particularly crap - again - pooh.

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.

Header updated with what Hil described as "one fully pimped Calendar" for your delight and delectation.

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!!

mg - for you from FXCM

FX USD/JPY

The US dollar faltered against most of the majors on Friday amidst the release of softer-than-expected core CPI, however, USDJPY continued to prosper after the Bank of Japan left rates on hold and signaled a more extended pause on monetary policy action. In fact, the pair has been reaching new 4 year highs as the carry trade remains the preferred position of the markets. While a break of 124.00 almost appears unavoidable, the release of the NAHB housing market index could slow the ascent. The figure is anticipated to hold steady, but there is substantial risk of a decline given the widespread weakness throughout the sector. A major disappoint could lead USDJPY down towards the 123.00 level, but it would take a major event (very hawkish BOJ commentary, Chinese trade/yuan news) to take it much further. On the other hand, a steady NAHB reading or an improvement would support further gains for the pair to the 124.00 level.

Thanks SC
Preparing for big sulk and withdrawl from positions. As suggested 124 seems unavoidable :(
