EMO! EURUSD jumps to session highs following positive data in the EMU.....
loss: -30pips
lesson learnt: stick to 1hr time frame and be patient!!!


trade idea: sold EURUSD

since yesterday i was planning to sell EURUSD but i was kinda worried about the news. i wasnt sure whether the news will be bad or good, so i hold on until today. i read fundamentals news from Pip Diddy and tonight USA consumer confidence may be good news. i decided to sold it since there isnt much good news for Euro and it's been downtrend for almost 2days.

at 1 hr timeframe, it's look like EMA 5 is crossing upwards over EMA 10. however RSI is moving downwards, away from 50. slow stochastic seems to be having a crossover soon *cross finger*. so i switch to 15min time frame, and try to see whether is it the time to sell or should i continue to wait. 15min timeframe seems to be perfect. EMA 5 crossed downwards over EMA 10. RSI below 50 and moving down. slow stochastic is also downtrend.

sold @ 1.2480 / SL @ 1.2530 / PT @ 1.2420

Was chatting with my colleagues over lunch and we were talking about what we did over the weekend. The weather is getting scorching hot, and I seldom switch on my living room air con, so I have dizzy spells even though I switch on the fan. Since I have dizzy spells, I don’t have mood to do anything. Everything seems to be either spinning or floating, and I was nausea whenever I tried to do something. So I slept the whole day. My colleagues broke into laughter. “the last thing you should do when you are dizzy is sleep!” that was they said. But seriously I cannot do anything!!! One of my colleague tried to be funny, and asked me whether my dogs disrupt my sleep since they will be bored. I answered her truthfully that my dogs also slept thru the day because is too fucking hot to even move a tiny weeny bit! She almost fainted…haha…

But I did achieve something over the week. I have 2 wins over my trades. GBP/USD +2pips (Should be +30pips, but I didn’t close the trade before some big news) and EUR/USD +60pips (YEAH! CLAPS!!) I still recovering from my previous loss and doesn’t have the guts to up the number of lots. So I guess I set myself a leveling up system like all the games I have playing.

Currently, I’m still trading mini lots – 0.2

5 straight wins, I will up to 0.5

10 straight wins, I will up to 0.75

Another 10 straight wins, I will up to 1

My friend told me is mission impossible, and I always be trading mini lots. But as long as is not a lose trade, even it is just +1pip, it is consider a winning trade. My friend remarked “+1pip! You can’t even buy anything with that.” True, but at least I know how to move my stop loss gradually and protect my principle. To me, I don’t expect to earn big buck from forex. As long as my account increase gradually, I would be very very happy girl =) I believe as long as I don’t make losses, protect my principle, set logical risk/profit ratio, my goal would be achievable!

And what else I done over the week? Oh ya, I completed Max Payne 3! Is pretty lame I find. Most of the people died (and he suppose to protect them!) But at least the villain died in the end! And plus point for that! I absolutely love happy ending. I do find the lock aim CMI. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. And I will have a hard time aiming at the target. Love the ending theme song – Tears by Health. Perfect fit for Max Payne!

Let’s see about my plans this week… Hopefully I can get at least 1 win (without any loss) this week.. Need to work on my fundamental analysis because I still sux at it! Weekend will continue gaming – Kingdom of Amalur. Just when I completed Skyrim last month, now is another long RPG game!!! AARRRRGGHHHHH

when im bored at work (even though i have tons of uncompleted stuffs),

i beautify my baby's photo with Photo Face Fun!

my biggest win so far!

after making HUGE loss in EUR/USD at the same time (month end) for 2 months, i finally saw the "trend" or rather "tactics" of Euro. Fact is Euro is going down and down, but somehow some "good news" will pop out at month end. Then EUR/USD will go up for a little while before dropping down again.

so month end (check!) trend going down and is going up (check!) EMA 5 cross over EMA 10 (check!). Bought @1.2140, S/L @ 1.2110, T/P @ 1.2220

at first it kinda range abit and get me worried. but i believe Euro will come out same stunt again. And to what I have anticipated, it rose! Again, I have cut my winning trade as it rose to 1.2313! i took +80pips but if i shift my T/P higher when it reach +50pips, i can earn up to +173pips! Anyway +80pips is already my highest earn! I should give myself a pat on the back.

i was updating my win and saw i miss another opportunity in buying EUR/USD! if not, i will make another pile! Drats.... then again, i plan to enjoy my small win over the weekend instead of studying forex. afterall, this is my first win for this week! Confident is back, stick to my strategy, dont ever waver again!

after working with my mini project - hoya kerrii, i have sudden urge to start a garden again! since i have 4 mini african violets now, and 1 of them is full of leaves. hence i thought of buying rooting hormones and start propagating it. then i will have many many mini african violets. i had successfully propagate gloxinia and hopefully mini african violets will be as easy as well.

while i was browsing for information (and monitoring my forex), i chance upon Plant World Seeds. i saw they selling kiwi berry seeds! my favourite and very hard to buy in supermarket! i drop an email to Ray whether kiwi berry is suitable to grow in tropical country and he say that it is suitable. end up, i bought 2 packets (because buy 2 get 1 free!) of kiwi berries, 2 packets of raspberries and 2 packets of strawberries. 

now all im doing is wait for them to arrive.. and also need to get jiffy pellets!

~Kiwi Berries~

~Raspberries~

~Strawberries~

oh no..... USD/CHF reached my S/L...
black monday!

I was running my EA on my demo and saw USD/CHF daily chart. I remember Big Pippin has mention USD/CHF in his daily chart art this week. So to confirm, I went to babypips.com for more information. Big Pippin has pointed out USD/CHF again! 

I went back to my hourly chart, new high is already hit and price is dropping. RSI is dropping and there is a downtrend crossover. Perhaps is a good time for me to sell. There is no news so I guess is all up to technical analysis.

Sold @ 0.98632, S/L @ 0.9900, T/P @ 0.9763

(P.S: Please ignore the dash lines as I running some demo trades)

But sadly there is an increase in buy and push the price all way to the top. Even sadder, the price is ranging around there. *HAIZ* Did I make the wrong entry point again? Perhaps I should wait for EMA 5 to crossover EMA 10 before selling? Hopefully all goes well when trade opens on Monday *PRAY!*
