There was a huge drop with the EURUSD and my system had indicated a short entry at 1.4270.. this would have been a lovely entry and very profitable.. however, as you know, I work a 9-to-5 job so was unable to enter.

However, my long at 1.4241 last night with an exit price of 1.4290 yield a nice 49 pips.

I have just entered long 1.4175 now with a stop at 1.4135.. let’s see how it goes…

As the annotation goes, I’m glad that I didn’t take it.. the markets may well go south but from the initial point of where I thought could have been an entry, it would have been a disaster for a daytrade. The market shoots up to 161.90 before it dwindling around doing not much. A daytrader would be quite nervous at this stage…..

I went short GBPJPY 161.93 just before the market just dropped and managed to get out before it started to rise for 47 pips. I like these sort of movements…  all in less than 10 minutes. I suspect the price action would end lower after this bounce upwards but I don’t want to keep any positions open over the weekend.
