131 September 13, 2017 SwingFish Trading Room Journal GBPAUD GOLD NZDUSD
Good Morning everyone, after yesterdays Party, the dust settled and i have to look at the Damage made so far. the Gold Trade is still on with a Whooping 319% gain (well thats about 40% in real terms compared to the Account balance of Yesterday before the Gau Started. so there is still some pips to be made ..  14$ on Gold to be exact. (since iam holding about 2.2 Kilogramms of Gold, that 14$ will be substantial) there will be very likely no trades till this is sorted out, as Damage-control and Capital preservation is most important in Trading.
Quick trade on GBPAUD for 5.5pips to have the “no trades” title go away :)
Chcicken out on NZDUSD, looked good on M7 chart .. but the M30 chart revealed a down sloping Price.. cancel that one with 0.6Pip Profit Sadly due to the massive drop happen on GOLD and all other Pairs simultaniously the moment New York Stock Exchange came online, a major part of the hedged position was liquidated.

119 September 12, 2017 SwingFish Trading Room Journal
Shocking Tuesday as the title said, i booked in a Massive Loss of 62% but this is only balance based, there is still a hedge trade open that will very likely pay for the whole show. a combination of me still being sick and a few other elements lead to this, which does certainly looks very bad on the Portfolio.. but as you can see the Equity is still Solid (318% .. thats Huge !!), just the balance does not look too happy tomorrow will be little trades until this is sorted out.

Monday Morning (11 September), Markets just opened. Futures not online yet .. removed all TP on GBPAUD helping the UB-Noise Algo (was hoping it may go down deeper, as the Strategy has a 600$ drawdown over the weekend) went Quickly Long on BTCUSD and AUDJPY with very little Bias just some Scalp trades as i can not really find a clear target i think AUDJPY will go into the 88AUD Area today ... closed 3 Scalp Trades 1 on BTCUSD and later AUFJPY 2 more scalps it is kind of Tricky now as there are no Futures visible yet and the Diviation is really tiny. got myself into some Whipsaw action .. closed all at Breakeven .. as i not was live on Youtube anyway. Live action was kind of a mess.. covered with 53 Trades and lucky went out Positive afterweards.. not somethings to copy ! guess the Picture speaks for itself Closed Today wiith 1120.04$ Balance, Total Gain: 12.04% https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzWcp6fByEw

58 September 8, 2017 SwingFish Trading Room Journal EURGBP EURUSD GBPAUD USDJPY
Friday (8 September) .. is usually a tricky day
and here is the proof
was up +2% already but then gave it back on Frankfurt opening ..
here it goes:
First GBPAUD assumed a vWap Reversal to the Upside,
did not happen so on the bounce right before the target Trendline
released the Hedge Position get out with about 0.5% profit
USDJPY Massacare
same as Above, suspected a bounce Upwards, did not happen
again before the target Trendline, released the Hedge Closed all at the Trendline
Got Greedy afterwards .. bought in (even its stupid to do) .. well went out green as well
at this point i was Up 2.06% .. should have called it a day .. but didnt ..
Made another nice Profit on vWap reversal
re-entered .. and price droped hard on me ..
Hedged .. try to resolve it 4 times which causes substantial drawdown
i set the SwingFish Helper Robot to take profit once he hedge turned the loss to zero .. i however stoped the Bot and closed the trade with massive Gain .. putting todays Total to 0.92%
Ending Balance: 1091.81 Total gain: 9.18%

47 September 7, 2017 SwingFish Trading Room Journal EURGBP USDCHF USDJPY
Good Thursday Morning (7 September)
First Trade was A chicken out ..
wanted to take Profit at the Blue line ..
but after in the trade i see there is a Trendline from a larger timeframe (M30) crossing which made me doubt the trade quality and went out with +1.3 Pips
exiting was a misstake, but afterwards we always smarter
USDCHF Short vWap Reversal
Take Profit on crossing the Hourly Trendline marking the bottoms
had to make to trials to get there 1 hedge .. resulting in 3 total trades on USDCHF
then went on a little bit tougher .. using the SwingFish Helper Bot to make sure the Drawdown is not higher than 0.7%
which allows to make trades like on the Picture on EURGBP:
Ending Balance: 1080.52 Total gain: 8.052%

43 September 6, 2017 SwingFish Trading Room Journal AUDJPY GBPCAD
Wed, 6 September
Startet off with a test-trade as we mirrored a new Account that day
the AUDJPY Trades where just to test the mirror, so i hedged them immediately and later the day removed the hedge with a tiny Profit
then found a nice reversal pattern on GBPCAD .. however it took hours and 2 tries to actually get things moving in some way.
turned out everyone was waiting for the Interest Rate Decition for the Bank of Canada .. so the market where very quiet.
everything went well after the 3rd try.
paid for all the trials before and made us a nice 2.1% for Today.
Totalling Balance: 1042.66 / 4.26% Gain.
