08:59 Sell USDJPY

09:07 price at support, should exit now … the Nikkei has still a few points to go sown, ill may hold on to that one.

09:32 as worried, the support from M30 did hold, hedging USDJPY trade at around 0%

there seem to be some technical issues regarding the Livestream, if it buffers, please stay tuned. 

10:02 sell GBPAUD to 1.7747

10:06 put on accidentally too much size, got hedged on GBPAUD

10:15 re-hedging GBPAUD

10:35 try to exit USDJPY hedge on breakeven, likely gonna need the margin on the GBPAUD trade after.

10:45 re-hedging USDJPY after regaining about half the loss.

11:04 releasing USDJPY hedge with a tiny gain (not enough to pay the position loss)

Indicies and Dollar still undecided … but it “looks” a bit Bullish now

11:30 trying again on GBPAUD (there is however still the pivot in the way and a minor support.

13:19 closing USDJPY for a 1.01% absolute gain (rest goes to pay for the hedge)

13:27 also GBPAUD did go down as expected but stucks now at minor support,
if it swings down a little bit I will take profit, not want to risk another drawdown before Frankfurt opens.

15:29 hedging GBPAUD .. because of my greed and a few other things I did not take profit (almost 4% gain) but held.
as a result, the position is now hedged again

16:33 there is a buy setup now for GBPAUD .. but the distance to the next resistance is just 17 pips away. (not enough to pay for the damage)

18:25 just an update, nothing really happened on GBPAUD, the resistance appears to hold, I may release to the downside in a moment, but there is news coming up, so this may have to wait.

19:15 reversing sell orders after breakout confirmed.

19:41 closing all trades on the next micro resistance, just get out of it, and call it a day, before I throw the computer out of the window 😉
