Food. Music. Sex. Work. Family. The important things in life, all in one delirious, mad, funny film. Turkish director Fatih Akin tells a story about the Greek-Germans of Hamburg. Terrific actors, astonishing soundtrack. This is precisely the kind of little films we can still view in Europe. In 10-20 years all theaters will be showing american popcorn like Avatar...
A friend commented in a previous post : "Most of the time you trade EJ sometimes you trade EU. Do you watch both pair at the same time? When you trade EU how is that experience different from trading EJ? Isn't it that EU is very slow, unpredictable and spikes too much?".png)
Smooth movement on eurusd this afternoon. One trade closed prematurely and a scared exit on the next one.

Lazy trades, waiting for Christmas vacation. As a result, entries and handling become approximative and risk increases.

Terrific Frankfurt opening, with sharp movement. One fault on the chart, an unnecessary contra trade, not closed at once. Respect the trend!..

Spent the evening with this non-sense, waiting for the range to break. At the end I was very bored and entered inside the range and had a loser, of course.

Price got a steady pace going up and gave decent pips. The last trade, a contra-trend one, was entered at the break of local minor support.

(upd) Our brilliant (just kidding) Prime Minister spoke finaly yesterday and said nothing concrete about the greek debt and his recovery plan. As a result, today, shortly after the european markets opening, traders shorted firmly the euro against dollar. 80 easy pips in one hour time. The fundamentals guys made easy and predictable gains. I wasn't there to trade this, my mistake. In the last few days, little Greece smashed the euro by 4%, almost 600 pips..

Trying to grab some in a completely flat session.. Euro and the crosses wait for the rescue measures for Greece' economy, to be announced at 20:00 my time (18:00 London), by our supreme Prime Minister. Humanity in the hands of Mr. Bean...
Splendid return of Woody Allen to his beloved New York, after several films in Europe. A clever and nice movie. It made my day. Superb dialogue as always, full of ideas and perfect actors. Happy Hannukah!..

Today I had what I call a perfect day : fast gains with four trades only. And then getting out of this. After some days of overtrading and addiction feelings again.

I took a risky contra trade at the fibo 50% retracement (15M chart). Nobody can ignore Fibonacci!..
.png)
Insisting on a contra trend, with very tight stop, is not very wise.. The two reversal trades were just premature, the reversal came later and in a natural way.

First trade was lucky, then it took some time to get a price direction on the chart. This is precisely the moment I look for. But the trades inside the unbroken rectangle can be painful.

Allways monitoring 2 pairs and choosing the one with the bigger volatility. Today and post-NFP, it was the euro/dollar.
.png)
I was in very bad shape today. Risked a LOT on the first, then I closed trade precisely when previous high was taken.. Smart guy!...
