i closed my euro trade as target was reach tho it smashed though my target unfortunately for me i closed my trade just before the interest rate decision and did not capitalize on the full amount of pips available however a decent profit was made considering my entry was at 1.2619. the euro headed down to 1.2365

now its all about looking for the next set up but with Non farm payroll out on Friday will be waiting till after the makets give direction on release of the figures .

Eur/usd

After last weeks rise, i have taken a short on this pair from 1.2616 expectation is the central bank will be cutting rates which will help the euro move lower ,

cross coming in to play on hourly chart this is when the (20 hour moving average crosses the 50 hour moving average)

I haven't been posting for over a year . so today i shall start to log my trades



have taken a long trade on gbp/usd from 1.5605 first target is today's high 1.5675


This is my 4hr chart showing my support trend line which became Resistance  this made it easier for me to decide on when to close the trade. closed for a gain of 85 pips as cable stalled at the trend-line and also hadnt broken 1.5700 

Eur/usd 


Divergence was clear on hour chart , this is where the last stock peak is level or slightly lower and the candles have a higher corresponding peak . this suggested that the euro rise is running out of steam. 

I took a small trade shorting the euro closed for 10 pips profit as trade volume was low this was probably due to time of day and it is a Friday. Am expecting next week euro to make moves lower after today's sugar rush is digested .
