Trading Aggressively & Trading in a Less Risky Manner

I had a good day yesterday. My account balance got pumped up by about 10% and again I'm one of the top leaders in the Trader's Contest which makes me happy. I opened(and closed) a lot of trades. Most of them were going long with the US dollar but the most profitable turned out to be shorting Japanese yen which hit tough support against euro, the pound and the US dollar.

The Final Day of Trader Contest

Surprisingly, I'm in the top 20 contestants in the Trader Contest which is great. Of cause anything can still happen and change but I'm somewhat happy with my overall performance this month.

EUR\JPY

One more time I traded the new and I got burned!
Right after the results of the Greek referendum I opened a short EUR\JPY position and before I even realized SL was hit and my trade was closed! It lasted only several minutes.

Short on USD\JPY

Yesterday, I decided to enter a short position on USD\JPY, even though it seems that everyone expects it to go up. But it looks like dollar is posing its latest rally.
On the 4 hour chart we can see a head and shoulders pattern developing while the daily chart clearly shows a reversal. The nearest resistance is 123.50 but I think it might go down to 121.50 level.
