I should be building a larger longer position on this CHF trade..it smells like the LB trade from last week, but I have an order to sell my current three pairs at 1.1255, purchased 2 at 1.12 and 1 at 1.1225 (mistake I clicked on the CDN pair and the system defaulted me back to the CHF which was strange..a problem with the FXDD system.

Crud..

Missed long CHF at 1.1195 by 1 pip, that would have netted 50 plus already.

Yeah Ive traded that CHF a ton..Ive traded the LB more but CHF probably second.

I have a feeling they hit my order tonite..

I also have a short limit in on lb.us and a long limit on us.yen but they have a bit to go for my order to hit.

Wow what a day yesterday......my brother called to tell me we were down 160 pips b4 i even got to the job

..........thats why you cant be afraid to average.......we raised our price by 80+ pips and had he waited another 1hr or so it coulda been more....then we still only got the $600 i was going for

we shoulda got over 50 pips with 4 lots but as always im not greedy,but it is tempting.......

I got the day off and im taking the wife and her dad out to lunch....i dont see anything in the charts right now and being Friday i think ill call it a week.......GL guys be back later this afternoon

I got my CHF pair, didnt see it earlier or my sell limit would have been placed and hit...but I bot at 1.1195 so i am still up some.

Also bot 1 US.JPY which I listed yesterday at 94.25 and will try to sell at 96.25 today.

Changed my YEN order to 95.88 and sold the lot.

Made 160 plus pips on that trade from 94.25 to 95.88

This has been an top week for me pips wise..wish this were real cash. Between all the accounts since paper trading (which means literally nothing to cash account) Ive made 100k.
