Going long EUR

I am long Eur crosses today
I started building Eur longs last night after technical analysis
EurJpy and EurUsd seem to be breaking above resistance
I have added EurChf as a stable pair
Also I have just added EurAud and EurNzd longs
EurUsd seems on the way up again after putting in a low at 1.1150
I feel it will break above 1.12 again

Getting near a top 10 position

Today I am near a top 10 position in the trader contest
It has been a wild ride, after thinking of giving up last week
I was long Eur at the beginning of the contest, but it would not move
After being stopped out, I almost gave up
but I had one long position left: a EurNzd that I had not noticed
It brought me back up to 100K - my initial start position
Then last friday I closed at 85K, and gave it a shot again this week
This week has been much kinder to my Eur longs
and I closed most of them yes…

Closed my Euro longs yesterday

Yesterday I saw an opportunity to cash in on my longs
I was long EurNzd and EurAud from the beginning of the contest
I added EurUsd and EurChf longs two days ago
After the ECB interest rate decision yesterday the Eur came out stronger
indicating to me that monthly support above 1.05 is still holding
I decided to take advantage of the last spike up above 1.06 in EurUsd
and closed al my Eur longs with profit
1.06 may take a while to break definetely and I wanted to be out before the weekend leverage

Having some trouble with my EUR longs

The deal is off with Greece for today
Progress was made today concerning Greece but there is no deal yet
The Eur will not rally (yet)
I am long Eur/Usd and four other crosses
I hope I can keep them open until Thursday when the deal should be done
I cannot stay up all night to wait what will happen
so I am looking to close two of my five positions and build in SL's to avoid being stopped out altogether on a margin call
I will try to enter at higher levels to add to my positions using buy entries

Ending the week with long positions in EUR

Yesterday was a bit of a trading roller-coaster ride for me again
I do not seem to be able to break squarely above 300K yet
The Canadian data release went sour for me yesterday,
I was long Cad in different crosses but the data release disappointed and I lost close to 80K
With Eur/Usd holding above critical support around 1.1280,
I quickly switched to Eur longs -- and that started to pay off nicely,
the Greek deal seems to be in the making - maybe as soon as Monday
I was up to 300K + at the end o…
