Comment

DXY

Trade closed: stop reached

Stopped out, opened a sell stop at 1.1745 just in case. These are pre-FOMC games.

Trade active

Re-entered short. Big shift after the fed, money into bonds and yen, out of stocks, EU, AU, GU.

Trade closed: target reached

Lesson on this trade, sometimes you have to bend the rules a little. I was stopped out with a loss of 15 pips the first time, and doubled down on a second trade after the raw 15m and 1H price action showed fakeouts after the Fed.

The LARGE descending wedge for DXY shown above is broken hard today.
