While this is my only largely profitable trade on the week (I'm still working out bugs in my Take Profit logic; I've left roughly 15% on the table in the last 2 weeks, in trades I was in), this one is still fun.

This is great though. As with ICT's further delving into Market Maker action, this one pretty much played exactly off of it. Yellen Speech at Jackson Hole was at 10:00:00. Yen had cleared out the Longs (plus a Wednesday Move full retrace to the 103.50 level) but left the Shorts still in by all of .5 of a pip. (Minus on some Brokers, obviously) Perfectly setup to run up a bit, especially as the previous highs were at 103.97. "Oh, 104 is resistance!" says the people that got nailed because it went to at least 104.06. :)

That was 23.2 pips in 23 seconds, haha. Technically about 1.5 R:R on entry, but functional range (how much it actually went below my Limit) was 3.8 R:R or so. Hey, I'll take it. Gets me back up a level for my Open Risk. (It was a bad week)


Nice! More than a pip/sec! Talking about getting per second here!

Trade starting to pay its dividends. No time to be on the 5-15min charts all the time. So these setups are my bread and butter.
 
NZDUSD short

Kiwi short finally reached its final target @162.0 extension for a 144 pip trade. Not too bad. Now with AUDUSD locked profits and letting it do its thing.
