Hacked Market Trades Made Me Over $10k

This week has been a pretty lackluster one in my opinion. Not good for trend trading but an awesome week for some day trades. I made Over $10,000 in USDJPY by holding on to the rest of my long position from way back when I bought it at 105.00 and I intend to hold it even longer after seeing the markets Post-ECB emotions.

On a 240min chart we can see the uptrend begin to consolidate but still provide us with small momentum towards the upside. This may not be the best environment to try to buy and hold any trades more than a few hours to a day at most. 

For a view of something we could've actually traded we should move to down to a 60min chart. Below on the chart we can see highlighted in blue a 5 day view of this pairs movement; What we observe is that this pair provided at least 15 pips everyday that could have been sucked out of some day trades. Monday we rose during the London Session only reverse the entire move + some. Tuesday We see the pair rise 15+ pips during late London/Early New York Sessions and consolidate into the end of the day. Wednesday Was an awesome day because we got to see the pair test 110.00 for resistance twice only to fall 20+ pips. The Fall continued into Thursday and reached a floor towards the end of the New York Session. Once the floor was reached during the Asian Session the pair decided to march over 100 pips which lasted through Today's London Session and New York Session. 

If you were looking for some action this week USDJPY was just one pair that provided daily pips for the acute traders.
