Week 13

This is almost the middle of the week and seems a bit quiet around here so I'll start. I plan to take 1-2 trades a week which is being optimistic as I'm trying to move to swing trading tactics.

I'm waiting for the top of the trendline to touch (near 78.6%). We'll how it goes from there.

Just went short on this GBPUSD after this triangle breakdown, after the rally. We'll see how it pans out. Been waiting for it for a while.

Re: Week 13

Sorry to hear that, Don, was this a trade from the system? These things happen something. I got my case of the blues from these types of stops.

Looks like I got stopped out too. At least I know it's a bear flag forming, so I'll be aiming for another entry soon.

Re: Week 13

Yeah, taking another short at same price again, thinking this time might be real. It's late Friday so I may just hold it over the weekend. Done it before. So we'll see.
