Wrapping up for my first week back in the saddle.

Got chopped up a bit on Wednesday looking for the wrong kind of AUD love, but did alright yesterday picking up points around hourly highs and lows on the 1 min.

A mild week overall despite good moves in the underlying on the daily at least it wasn't a loser.

All scratches and commission today, no idea what I'm doing.

Definitely.

Memory #1: Retail consistently sucks at AUD timing, fade moves that would turn retail sentiment profitable when they show up and scratch your balls the rest of the time. Much cheaper than trying to figure out what's going on, no excuses for picking tops when the boys are net long, even if it paid a little on Tuesday it cost me Wednesday.
Memory #2: If you have no reason to expect a 100 pip move in the next 3 minutes, why trade like you're about to pick one? (Corollary, it is totally ok to trade like that if you have a solid/confident reason size accordingly).
Memory #3: Tight horizontal action on the chart is a usually a free lunch on the breakout, so JUST WAIT FOR THE BREAKOUT

Hopefully next week the muscles kick in before I send any orders through to the broker, instead of pulling out the :bigun2: and then feeling like a puke on fills.

Whew, all quiet now :sleeping: ...beer o:cuckoo:clock soon I think.

We had 3-4 days of "The world is going to be OK" so next up on the program is 3 to 4 days of "The world ends tomorrow", followed by a few days of "Let's pause and think about what we just did...".

It was decided over the weekend that tomorrows China data will confirm they are stuffed also,

The US is stuffed,

also,

That the Greeks are stuffed,

and now that Spain's 7% + bonds will be a problem this week although they weren't last week!!

 

[CanOz]

Welcome back volatility then...

shuffling the wording doesnt seem to change the irony and comedic value.......

Ok to make wrong calls. Hope he didn't lose his sails or keel.

a few people sayin the same thing.......no offence intended.....although, it's a good time to highlight to look tests of lows and not just pick them in isolation.......
