GBP JPY: My Best Trades of the Year
By Benny Nardino | December 22, 2005
Hello Everyone. My unreserved apologies for posting this later than usual today.
To the young army of forex traders, I say to you that today was very rewarding but with a great deal of longsuffering as well. Usually I am in and out of the market within three hours. These days I am getting a bit longer and greedier too I think. Or is it just confidence? Whatever it is, the truth of the matter is I will try to keep my focus on what’s at stake – winning my trade.
Anyway, I had two trades running simultaneously today. It’s been a long while yet since I last traded this way. For some reason both trades came up trumps. Very encouraging. I traded GBP/USD and GBP/JPY this morning. The weakening cable run encouraged me to trade both pairs southward this morning. I took a position at 1.7434 came off at 1.7362 and this recorded 72 pips within 3hrs. Here’s my chart for your perusal.
The second trade was more rewarding and the gift of patience eventually paid off.
About the same time as the top trade placed a trade for GBP/JPY at 204.93. This kind of trade highlights why it is worth sticking with the signals. Took profit at 202.65 just before 1600hrs GMT and that was a whopping 228 pips. I can tell you that it was one of my best days of the year 2005 with 300 pips in the bag. This eclipse my weekly expectation which had certainly paid for my girls school uniforms. LOL. Here’s the other chart.
Some may wondered why I stayed that long for an advocate of 2hrs trading per day. At point A, you should have seen a Tweezer-Tops for a reversal. B was nothing but a consolidation. I was waiting for the final move from the US market open and I got it just before 1600hrs at point C. I hope this helps the anonymous traders who had left messages on my blogspot.
Happy Trading
Benny…
