OANDA:USDJPY 4 hours into the FX open start of the week, a bit into Asian session. Nice quick and painless short for hard TP of 10 pips. The quick push to the downside went beyond 10 pips and more, maybe a bit over 20 pip on the initial structure breakout to the downside. But doesn't matter, hindsight is always 20/20 and I don't care. I have to check my FOMO...

OANDA:USDJPY Last Fridays FX Sessions Not bad for this pair for taking shorts. I marked a few prime short entries on the 5m, and there were others as well. I did not take an entry on this pair, but it was one of the top 2 pairs I filtered, to take a short. Instead, I took one on the EUR/JPY. Patience, and trade management. Trade well

OANDA:EURUSD Am I surprised? Naw, just another slow "nothing" the 2nd half of London into NY session. Entry triggers were slow to come, missed a few early on in London into NY open, but finally waited and entered short. But this was heading into London close, so whip saw reversal might be in play the 2nd half of NY. So I am at peace with only hard TP of 5pips...

OANDA:AUDUSD After a big "nothing" during the previous London/NY sessions, waited until Aussie and Asian session settled-in and finally a trigger for an entry. Set hard 10pip TP since not my normal trading hours. Market shorted. TP hit, now I am satisfied and my day is saved. Trade well
