    taking a look at the USDJPY pair, seems taht the market is going for a bearish market, by looking through the MACD on a 1H chart, looks like it's going to go FLAT until the US markets open..still..
    would like to open a possition, since it recently has touched the support point at 117.90

    opening a SHORT for USDJPY @117.94 taking profit @117.69.. let's see how this would ends..

    I entered short USD/JPY from 119.50 and first Target profit hit at 118.50 and second lot still open even though it went down pretty hard but i am keeping this short while trying to ride the whole wave however SL set at 119 which gurantees 50 pips anyway :D

    Looking forward to do a long on UCAD and short on GBP/JPY lets see how that goes

    --> cumulative profit:-30 pips :(

    oh boy, when the market enters US open, it really didn't touch the TP..well as acumulative, i've lost -30pips, since i put a 30pips SL, (sorry not to post em right on the first thread.. :p)

    now let's look at the GBP retail sales would impact the market today, since the GBP has recently breaking above $2.0 (hardly penetrate the 25 years high) the GBP would likely to go bearish today, as for my favorit pair USDJPY..i'll wait till the market goes overbought, which i think that would be arround 118.80, let's see what gonna happen today :)

    btw. jaree, nice to see the trading that you made, keep it in please?? :D

    -->cumulative profit : -10 pips

    seems like the market behave just a little right :p.. it does hit my trap at 118.80 and go bearish till 118.60, fixing a 20pips profit since i'm not feel confidence with the market..

    ehem, the journey begins with a smal dot to create the big line :D

    btw, have a nice weekends, please post any of your trading journal, might prove usefull to someone else, learning from others people mistakes or right move is the best on learning something..well i think so..

    Good luck with this, Yohanip. Are all your trades predicated by technical indicators such as MACD and SMA and so on?

    Btw.. is anybody knows about this?
    i've learned that trading using the MT platform quite fascinating..
    you are given the "trader's password" and the "investors password"
    is it safe giving away such as the investor password to the public?

    If i was you i would never give out such info to public you never know there might be some kind of flaw or way around to get into real account with investors password. Just my 2 pips

    Goodluck on trading and BTW scalping is much harder then swing trading... Much much harder and depressive so not for me :D
