Sorry once again, still have a bunch of personal issues. Somewhat having an effect on my trading.

Trades taken off hourly trendlines. Although I missed the actual touch, and took the 2 close calls, worked out I guess.

Long

106.375 to 106.825

$220.86

Short

106.575 to 105.65

$458.36

Total: $679.22

Sold Tuesday's low, as it was obviously a level after the rejection yesterday. Stop at the next small level up, target at next big level down (yesterday's low). We ran up a bit higher to the confluence of the two trendlines on the m5 chart. Still holding for now.

Good trading all.

Bit of an understatement

Got distracted by the webinar recording. Apologies for more after the fact charts, still bogged down with problems.


Hourly trendline from prior days was still in play today. We never quite got to my sell order, so I entered after the rejection (close of m5 bar). Got out at the rejection on m5 (double bottom). It's Friday, I'm fed up, so that was all she wrote.

Short 105.875 -105.5

$183.36

Total: $183.36

Been very ill for the past 30 hours, hoping it is passing. Bought oil here.

Got a dollar move, and think I'm getting better. Will try to post some things when better (and still make up for not posting many thoughts of late). Sorry.

Feeling a bit better this morning, though not 100% yet.

Seems to be a bottom forming, so will short a break south, and get long on a move up. Again, we see the trendline rejected and then touched from the other side.

Oh, and I missed putting yday's trade figures up, but was just the one, so $495.86

Off a trendline (& generally bearish for the day)
