Hi Friends,

Here is my update trades, USDJPY HAD AN ADD ON ( seed) TRADE AND ALREADY REACHED 1 TO 1 TARGET.

The update GBPUSD, had a add on as well (the famous pattern trade). It is not yet reached 1 to 1 ratio. It was short of 4 pips target. Should have set target at 1.7050 instead of 54. Always remember round numbers. To wait for 4 pips more might increase risk due to volatility in session changes. Please see attachment :-bd

Hi Friends,

Here is my updated beloved GBPUSD. Just as I expected with the famous pattern, the price went up and reached 1.7050 max. in the end of Asian session and retraced in the European. I made a bad judgement of not taking profit to minimize risk at the end of Asian session when I last checked the chart. As a result was stop out. This will not happen again!! :-q

Thank you Immy for your great insight. now, I am out. The risk is getting higher as approaching Non Farm. Besides, the move of famous patttern had delivered our wave 5 of 3 targets. And trying to squeeze more is not applying the principle of want what the market wants. Thank you. Please see chart

Hi Friends,

Here is my update Seed trade, USDJPY. I decided to exited this trade with a breakeven before announcement. I need to prepare for the non farm tomorrow and I know there is a limitation for the trade as others traders are getting ready for NFP. :-h

It was NFP Today my friend... due to 4th of July tomorrow! anyways, it was not a bad idea to close the trade, and although price spiked much higher in your favour you would not have left it hanging if you knew it was NFP today...
