[fxmantra]

not getting enough time to trade in the morning before i come to work. so i have to figure out some other stratigy where i can trade without sitting in front of screen.
i will start posting my trades once i figure out a swing stratigy.

[fxmantra]

okay, here i go again, simple stratigy. macd 8,17,9 and ema 8, sma 17 and some common sense i hope that should work :-)
first swing trade
gbp/usd a limit order to enter short @ 1.8750
at the time of this posting this pair is trading @ 1.8720
so i will wait for this to come up a little bit and then short @ 1.8750
lets see what happens.
no stop and no target yet, will adjust it once in the trade and see what market is trying to do with me :-)

[fxmantra]

oh well it never came up to 1.8750 and kept on going down and now trading at 1.8655 when i am posting this. i bet if i would have bought this @ 1.8720 it would have gone against me :-) lol that always happens.
anyway, i will wait and see and i hope it will come and hit my order and then will go down again. otherwise i will wait for next swing.

[fxmantra]

hmmm let see,
gbp/usd trading @ 1.8676. i still think it would come up hit 1.8750 and then go back. but i am going to take out my limit order to short @ 1.8750 for now. i will see how it looks tomorrow.
actually i am hoping for a better entry.
so for now no order and wait situation.

[fxmantra]

okay, finally got it back where i thought it would come back.
i have put a limit order to short gbp/usd @ 1.8750
i hope it will execute within next few minutes. because right now its trading around 1.8745
no stop
no target

[fxmantra]

okay, this is good , cos my order executed @ 1.8750 and now its already +21 pips.
i just closed this position @ 1.8729 with 21 pips profit.
why? free pips. and i guess before morning it will go up again hit 1.8750 again and then come back down again.
so lets see.
i am going to put another limit order to enter short again @ 1.8750
and i hope it will execute again before morning.
thats why i booked these 21 pips.

[fxmantra]

okay , as expected gbp/usd short again @ 1.8750 and now i am few pips down in this trade. but i am okay with this trade so far. lets see how it goes. i will check in the morning.
