EUR carry trade basket: All pairs below yearly pivot Short

Euro Fx/New Zealand DollarFXCM

Description

I'm looking to establish a long term position in these pairs, and scale in on every opportunity, using an array of techniques I learned from my mentor Tim West.
The fundamental landscape favors this kind of setup, as well as the technical side.

I have no tp in these trades, and my invalidation level is clearly outlined in the chart.
Time span should be at least a quarter, and up to 3 in most cases.

Positive swap is the way to go gents.

I'll publish my entries once I open them later today.

Good luck and see you in 9 months.

Trade closed: target reached

nzd and gbp were ripe for re-entry, so I did short them again.

1.5033 and 0.7676.

Covered all but eurgbp, which has a 50 pip profit stop. I'll re enter on any technical setup in the 4h/daily chart.

25% materialized profits today.
Don't forget to donate 10% of your monthly/annual profits to charity.

Covered eurgbp until I was at 2x balance margin used and opened 2x balance size orders in each pair:

EURAUD: 1.4113
EURCAD: 1.3847
EURNZD: 1.4874
EURUSD: 1.1612

I will actively manage these base positions with scale ins using break even stop after being in profit and covering half, to increase my exposure and potential profits without increasing risk size.

Sold eurgbp again, covered the rest for now. FOMC meeting and QE coming, should be an exciting couple of weeks.

EURCAD limit sell tp hit, nice scale in. Pocketed a 2.25% whole account gain.
The rest of the orders are running.

(Limit sell was at 1.3932)

Interesting percentage chart courtesy of my friend coondawg71. We clearly see eurcad has some catching up to do.

Limit sell in eurcad triggered, waiting for the rest to hit my sells. Doubling the stake.
