GBP/USD 23:50 GMT 14th October
Ending the week with a bullish outlook over all, but with overbought 1Hr stochs giving space to some down move before resumption of the larger up move.(4Hr & Daily stochs pointing up strongly)
In with a scalp Short trade @ 2.0351 with 50K lot,
Flattened 40K @ 2.0338 (Fig 2) grabbing some 52$ ,and setting stop to BE on 10K for possible further down move targeting 2.0329/290 area.
Rule again for such scalp trades is to keep tightening stop all the way till entry becomes our stop.

Update
As expected, prices reached first target @ 2.0319, but we didnt flatten for 30+ pips (greed) ,so eventually we took only 12pips.
However another short based upon failure to sustain above 2.0350 was taken @ 2.0337 30K. (not the best entry tho)
Targets will be 2.0318/278 this time.

Prices obviously got rejected around 2.0340/60 and managed to close hourly above 2.0360
A scalp trade 50K long @ 2.0374 after 1 final re-test of the 2.0340, target @ 2.0384 , 50$
Longer term looks bearish, so we're out with all lots

December 2007 , Week 2
Because of low volatility in GBP/JPY this week things got a little slower.
However, what counts is 'Equity' increase from 21,600 to 24,960+ in case we close floating positions.
Strategies used: Channels and Fib. divergences
Currencies: GBP/JPY most of the period plus very few other currency trades.
