08:25 Buy USDJPY

08:29 Buy USDSGD

had some technical issues with the service computer, could not make the screenshots in time .. sorry about that

09:31 closing USDSGD as it hits the target line

09:33 close USDJPY as it appears to miss the target by 0.9 pips

9:43 Re-Buy USDJPY against the odds it may drop on minor resistance

10:50 GOLD going massively up, Nikkei still undecided and USDJPY back on the vWap. will hedge the USDJPY Trade now.

11:45 USDJPY still undecided, probably making this a Breakeven a trade. since the direction is very unclear. Nikkei is downwards but the USDollar is pulling upwards, and so does Gold, I think USDJPY will drop once the dollar shows weakness, but I’m not so sure this will happen.

I have to stop the stream now .. will try to sort it out and get back online.

(will re-upload the video with a different soundtrack)

22:53 close Nikkei (JPN225) Buy

23:06 small typo by setting the Trailing stop on DXY caused an early exit .. but still a good gain

00:14 for some unknown reason the market made a massive move with a 2$ gap on GOLD causing USDJPY to fluctuate just as hard
(which is very uncommon at this time of day) causing a whipsaw with an almost 6% loss .. closing this day with a total loss of 3.862%

Total Today: -3.862%
