Today I had bought 1 lot of silver at 19.14, stop level at 18.60, target level at 20.00.

Oil price had plunged $10 pulling down precious metals as well.

Silver went below 18.60, so my stop was triggered. Loss is US$540.

My previous silver trade was stopped out. But in my opinion, getting stopped out is not the end. Since I am bullish on silver, I should buy again at lower level or at more comfortable level.

Getting stopped out does not mean that my view is wrong, it just that I had entered at the wrong entry point.

Bought 1 lot of silver at 18.96
Stop loss level at 18.40
Target level at 20.00
Value of 1 point is US$1000

I think this is a good opportunity to buy oil after the huge drop within a very short period of time. In my view the drop is not due to fundamental, it is market overreacting to Ben Bernanke's speech.

Oil price fell below 134.50 due to rising US oil inventory, so my stop was triggered. Loss was US$406.35.

1. Yesterday I had bought 50,000 EURJPY at 165.84, stop level at 165.00, target level at 166.60.

This morning USDJPY started to fall, pulling EURJPY down as well, so decide to take profit.

2. Last night I shorted 50,000 EURGBP at 0.7936, stop level at 0.7950, target level at 0.7907.

1. After speech by Fed Chairman and Secretary Treasury this week, market seems to have gathered some confidence in USD.

Double-bottom formed for USDCHF, stochastics turning up. I guess its time to buy USDCHF.

Bought 50,000 USDCHF at 1.0156
Stop level at 1.0100
Target level at 1.0230

Chart: Forex and Binary Trading: Double-bottom formed for USDCHF


2. EURJPY again shows upside potential as it attempts to move higher again. Stablised Asia stock market has helped to weaken JPY, helping to push EURJPY higher.

Bought 50,000 EURJPY at 166.34
Stop level at 166.34
Target level at 167

Chart: Forex and Binary Trading: EURJPY again shows upside potential

My indicator has shown buy signal for oil.
On the chart, oil is trading in a range of $132 - $146.
Currently oil price is trading at $134.29, so it is near to the bottom of the range.

Any geopolitical events or supply disruption can easily spike oil price up towards $140 again.

Bought 1 lot of supermini oil at 134.29
Stop level at 129.29
Target level at 142.50
Value of $1 is US$100

Chart: Oil Trading: Time to buy supermini oil

Today is a day of US dollar strength.

USDCAD looks oversold on the daily chart.
On the 10 min chart, USDCAD is trading sideways, which to me means USD has not run up yet against CAD.

Bought 50,000 USDCAD at 1.0025
Stop level at 0.9980
Target level at 1.0060

Chart: Forex and Binary Trading: USDCAD is oversold
