EUR / USD UPDATE: 21/03/13 18:44hrs

EUR / JPY UPDATE: 21/03/13 17:22HRS

EUR / JPY:

Price has been down as low as 122.45 or 95 pips from my entry.
This meant the trade was in profit by 1% with only 0.5% risk taken.

I had moved the stop to break even as previously stated.
Price begun to pull back aggressively so I closed the position for 20 pips profit or 0.25%

If I had held the position at break even then I would have been stopped at break even.

Price has now spiked back down and another new low has been made.

Price now seems to have decided to go for the initial target at 121.85 without me.

I am, as always very mindful of preserving our capital and moving the stop loss to eliminate the risk is the best way to do this.

I would do the same again on the next set up.

Chart Below:

 
Have a good evening

NZD / JPY UPDATE: 18/03/2013 04:51HRS

NZD / JPY:

As I said on Thursday last week I have been stopped out for -1% on this trade.

I thought it would be a good idea to show you the chart this morning.

Chart below:

 
As you can see, price has moved down by 100 pips and the trade would be in profit by 80 pips or
2.2%.
 
I was stopped out by the the spread and that is a little unlucky I think.
 
Sometimes you can be right and still be wrong.
 
That said it will not be the last time it happens.
 
On to the next one.
 
CAD / JPY looks interesting and may be a trade for later this morning, I will just wait and see if the gap gets filled through the London session.
 
Have a good week, I will post again when the next strategy trade has been identified.
