I’m a little late getting to this post – I’ve been looking at the charts since 4:30 am CDT, and began sticking my toe in a little before 7:00.  I took pullback entries on EURUSD, then EURJPY, then GBPJPY.  Then a failed break out short on the USDJPY, and finally an entry on GBPUSD.  And now all have stopped out (except for the USDJPY, which closed back inside range for <3.2>.  So a half hour before NY open, I’ve taken 5 trades and I’m down <43.3>.  Not a good start to the day.  But #weneverknow.

After some debate, I took a re-entry trade on the GBPUSD at the ’50 level shortly before the NY open.  That’s the only thing I’m holding at the moment.

Added a breakout trade on EURJPY long. It just barely held across the close of the candle. But then it spiked downward and stopped out a few minutes later for <10.3>.  Now down <53.6> and holding GBPUSD.

USDCAD triggered a pending order for a range breakout short.  It’s moving down nicely, though slowly, at the moment. Well, I spoke too soon.  It just reversed and stopped out – a 13 pip move in a matter of seconds.

Now locked in 1:1 on GBPUSD, moved TP up to 1.3200. Trump is speakking to UN General Assembly – who knows what may happen now! GBPUSD pulled back and hit my protective stop for +10.5.  Now flat and down <53.1>.

I came back around noon CDT, after going out for a run, and set a few orders in place, mostly to gather information on operation of the PATI Trading Assistant.  However, I did have re-entry orders trigger on the GBPJPY and then, a few minutes later, on the GBPUSD. They went back and forth, but I did manage to punch out of them when I had to leave to attend to other business for +11.7 on GBPJPY and +1.5 on GBPUSD.  I was pretty surprised that I was able to get anything out of them that late in the day.  But that made my final tally 10 orders, 3 wins, 7 losses, net <39.9> (-1.65%) for the day, <101.8> for the week to date, and <427.4> for the month to date.  2 more days to recover some of it.
