Looking forward to opening long USD positions

AdamFx42 Posted 22 Apr. in #Trader's blog #Contest #Long USD #Making Money

I am waiting for markets to open tonight to go long Usd

My opened long Usd positions were stopped out on Friday
due to Dukascopy weekend leverage in the contest
These positions were starting to make a comeback after being in the red all week
I was finally in the green again when I got stopped out
I am thinking the trend will continue this way now, though
and I will be opening my long Usd positions again the coming week

Decided which trades to take

AdamFx42 Posted 4 Sep. in #Trader's blog #Usdsek #Usdnok #Long USD

I have decided to go long Usd today
I have chosen the UsdNok and UsdSek crosses to go long with
because they have been dragged down a long way the past few weeks and are bound to rebound
I hope
Anyway - UsdJpy looks to be challenging 1.10 again soon
and the crosses will gain momentum back up then, too

Opening long USD positions again today

AdamFx42 Posted 7 Aug. in #Trader's blog #Fundamentals #Technicals #Long USD

I have opened a few new positions long Usd today
The bounce above 1.10 on Friday was very interesting to me
Technically, 1.10 holding is good news for UsdJpy
I sense a recovery coming - maybe some more strong data ahead
Fundamentally that makes the dollar potentially changing direction again
There could be a lot of pips to be made
I am long UsdNok, UsdSek, UsdMxn and UsdJpy

A new week of trading ahead

AdamFx42 Posted 6 Aug. in #Trader's blog #Long USD #Holiday Period #Quiet

I started my summer holiday today! :-)
Also, a lot of other traders are on holiday - and the market is quieter
This usually last for a couple of weeks
Usd is likely to continue higher after Friday's good FOMC report
All other figures / releases were good too, and technically I see a bounce from 1.10 level
Fundamentally, it is now a good investment, and looks solid
Eur and Gbp are retracing (finally) from recent rallies,
and Usd will likewise retrace back up

Repeating USD longs today

AdamFx42 Posted 15 Mar. in #Trader's blog #Technicals #Long USD #USD Crosses

I am long Usd again today
After closing my Usd longs yesterday with a healthy profit
I am back in today
Technically a lot of Usd crosses are supported and/or bullish in their setup
This combined with a rate hike coming up today made me re-enter
I am long UsdJpy, UsdCad, UsdMxn, UsdNok and UsdTry
I will be hoping to close my positions with profit just before the announcement this evening

USDJpy looks like a low in place

AdamFx42 Posted 13 Jan. in #Trader's blog #Long USD #USD Lows #Short The Rest

I opened a long UsdJpy yesterday and it is holding
I lost most of my money yesterday on GbpNzd and EurNzd longs
after switching from short to long (I don't know why - .. ) and getting stopped out
With my last 45K I opened a long UsdJpy after a low seemed in place
The low from yesterday still holds
I plan to sell the other majors if Usd recovers

Unlucky (or stupid?) with USD positioning

AdamFx42 Updated 5 Nov. in #Trader's blog #Long USD #Weekend Close

I lost about 60K yesterday afternoon on Usd longs
I decided to go long Usd into the weekend yesterday,
I was going to open a UsdChf,and a UsdJpy long, and keep within the weekend margin
Against my better judgement - I got greedy - I opened UsdMxn, and UsdZar and UsdNok positions, too
I was going to see how much of them I could carry into the weekend, and close the rest
As soon as I had opened the crosses long - they plummeted - Karma at work!
I was down 40K in minutes - and eventually closed the…

Going long USD before Fed rate decision

AdamFx42 Posted 12 Dec. in #Trader's blog #Long USD #Fed Interst Rate #Wednesday

I went long Usd yesterday before the Fed decision
After realizing that traders would be long before the Fed interest rate decision I decided to go long Usd
It did not work out as I expected
I thought that the market would go long on friday before the interest rate decision by the Fed on Wednesday
But the Usd/Jpy went down today
There seems to be some market pressure on the Usd and Gbp and Eur profited
Luckily, I was short Nzd/Usd and Aud/Usd too, and I got paid a bit
I had to close my Usd/Jpy an…
