US Initial Unempl Claims fade

A loser today. Went in as per my rules, but unfortunately a pullback moment was not sustainable and it reversed immediately and trade never seen a profit.

US Durable Goods fade - loss

A loosing fade trade today: SL10 with TP7. Release created unusual for this weak release reaction, probably due to lack of other news from US. After producing one reversal candle market went again into buying EURO/USD and quickly trade hit SL. Next please.

Many losers on pending order entry, great winner on VSA

Today was a bad day for lazy trading - that is using pending entries. I got 3 losers on EU (however only one entry was justified, other two were rushed in, one of these was market order but I opened it without confirmation so no different than limit ones). However I waited a bit and took market order entry after EU had topped out and produced down candle on decent volume, after market shown buying climax and high churn. I took 30 pips out of it, but there were at least 10 more to gulp. As usual. Best trading in terms of closing out is when I am not around. My EU win covered all three losers, the only damage left to fix is from AU loser. I will look for confirmed trades only today since there are some commercial and central bank buying happening today which drives market through supply-demand areas with ease.

Several losses today

UK CPI trade

While I recon it is one of the best fade trades on calender, today it wasn't so good. I used M15 to enter, but looked at M1 for VSA signal. Once I got it I was in. Trade moved into profit immediately, but I had a big spread on broker so wasn't looking to close soon. It moved about 15 pips into profit and then reversed. After few moves like that it actually went to 30 pips profit where my TP1 was but failed to close part of the trade due to damned spread again. Eventually Fitch announced AAA reaffirmation for US and GU blasted up. Quite soon it hit my SL, which I extended above supply level at 1.6400-1.6415. If I would be entering on the first reversed M15 candle I would be stopped out almost right away. It happens. Move on.
