Today’s risk: 0.15%<\/strong> [True drawdown: 0.055%<\/strong>]<\/p>\n

Profit from this!<\/a><\/h6>\n
\n

after a forever-break, let’s make a quick test trade and see if everything is still working on the new host<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9:06<\/em> buying AUDUSD<\/strong> close to vwap<\/p>\n

placing limit oders to double the position on and below vwap<\/p>\n

looking at the daily, it seems buying here is probably not the greatest idea as the opening spike up (that got instantly rejected) was almost testing the previous high from a few months ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

10:01 scaling in on vwap but will move the stop much higher as this is probably about to reverse.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

the setup is still valid, but the circumstances do not agree, that usually means indiction, consolidation or just reversal<\/p>\n

the other majors are also at vwap, that does provide some “hope” but as we know this is mostly not going to go well \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

10:26 CAD<\/strong> and EUR<\/strong> making a really pretty reversal, but AUD seem to be uneffected by it, turns out it’s “Australia day” today<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

time to exit, scaling in more and trailing everything with -4<\/p>\n

10:48<\/em> closing everything with a loss<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

there is still a chance this is going just as planned and CAD steady moves down and EUR is back in the green as well, just does not “feel right”<\/p>\n

11:00<\/em> buying NASDAQ<\/strong> (probably going to get the same faith .. i hate mondays)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

13:00<\/em> closing NQ<\/strong> at Friday’s rollover price as the full hour approaches (extended target is around 25679)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

13:27<\/em> quick scalp on GBPUSD<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

14:07<\/em> closing early as the Frankfurt opening pushed a bit too much (ots probably just a fakeout, but i won’t risk it and make a proper trade later)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
