http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/ “Huck loves her bucks!” I always say. The problem, of course, is how to make those bucks!! In this blog, I'll be posting my adventures as I traverse the forex world, while trying to catch some pips along the way. To do this, I will make use of classical charting methods as well as develop my own mechanical system. After work, I will update you on what’s happened to me that day and how my trades went. Hopefully, by the end of this tale, I'll be able to achieve my goal of becoming a profitable currency trader. en Copyright 2012 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:39:15 -0500 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss I guess it's true what they say, "All good things come to an end." My winning streak on my HLHB Trend Catcher 3.0 has finally come to a halt this week. Boo! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-february-10-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-february-10-2012.html Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:39:15 -0500 Round 5... Fight! For my fifth trade idea this year, I'm going to trade EUR/USD. The pair just broke out of its consolidation and is looking like it is poised to go higher! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/eurusd-support-at-the-broken-trend-line.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/eurusd-support-at-the-broken-trend-line.html Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:02:20 -0500 And the losing streak comes to an end! Finally, after weeks of being on the red, I tasted my first win for the year with my EUR/USD trade. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/play-the-range-or-ride-the-trend.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/play-the-range-or-ride-the-trend.html Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:22:26 -0500 Ho, ho, ho! It looks like the Trend-Catcher 3.0 has another winning week! This system is kickin' butt! Here's a summary of the signals it generated this week: http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-february-3-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-february-3-2012.html Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:25:18 -0500 The Trend-Catcher 3.0 comes out with another winning week! There were a couple of losses, but a few wins more than made up for it. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-january-27-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-january-27-2012.html Thu, 26 Jan 2012 21:56:50 -0500 Being down 3 trades ain't fun! However, I'm not gonna be rash and just jump in on the first trade setup I see. I believe patience is key to getting pips. So I'm gonna wait for EUR/USD to break out first before I pull the trigger. Check out my trade idea. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/eurusd-breakout-looming.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/eurusd-breakout-looming.html Thu, 26 Jan 2012 01:50:53 -0500 Don't know what to do with the dollar? Check out what I spotted on the daily chart of USDX! It might help you decide whether to buy or sell the Greenback! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/inverted-hammer-on-usdx-time-for-the-dollar-to-rally.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/inverted-hammer-on-usdx-time-for-the-dollar-to-rally.html Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:03:33 -0500 Sadly, my third setup for the year proved to be another bust. I followed my trade plan to the letter though, but things just didn't work out. I think I need a hug! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/support-turned-resistance-on-eurusd.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/support-turned-resistance-on-eurusd.html Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:40:32 -0500 As you probably know, my EUR/USD trade didn't turn out well. But it's all good! I'm still a happy camper because my HLHB Trend Catcher 3.0 had a good week, ending it with a 376-pip win! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-january-20-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-january-20-2012.html Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:10:58 -0500 Ugh, talk about a mixed week! My HLHB Trend-Catcher ended up on the positive side with some huge wins, but my discretionary trading took another hit! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-january-13-2012.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hlhb-weekly-update-january-13-2012.html Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:41:25 -0500 Hello my lovely readers! I know my first trade idea was a big failure, but I hope to make it up with these awesome (I think) trade ideas on GBP/USD. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/two-plays-on-gbpusd.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/two-plays-on-gbpusd.html Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:40:56 -0500 So much for starting the year right! I just incurred my first loss for 2012 with my GBP/USD trade. Boo! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/retracement-play-on-gbpusd.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/retracement-play-on-gbpusd.html Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:58:46 -0500 If you remember, one the things I promised to do going into the 2012 was to scrap (or at least tweak) the HLHB Trend Catcher. I noted that the Trend Catcher, while it had some nice trades, wasn't at all filtering the fakeouts. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/new-system-for-2012-trend-catcher-3.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/new-system-for-2012-trend-catcher-3.html Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:16:01 -0500 Overall, 2011 was a good year for me. I may not have found a boyfriend but at least I'm ending it with my trading account in the green. Yay! Besides, who needs a boyfriend anyway?? http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hucks-year-end-review-for-2011.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/hucks-year-end-review-for-2011.html Thu, 22 Dec 2011 00:38:13 -0500 Shucks! There goes my MAC Dazzlesphere! Collection money. I was hoping to treat myself to a couple of make up kits with my trade on USD/JPY but sadly, it didn't work out as well as I hoped it would. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/usdjpy-short-at-major-resistance.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/loonie-adventures/usdjpy-short-at-major-resistance.html Mon, 19 Dec 2011 04:38:33 -0500
