against the yen was the play today
Haha, yeah. I closed all the running trades in profit before the CPI news

Balanced out the loss I took on EF earlier.
As we saw there were massive swings in practically all the currency pairs, especially the EUR and USD pairs. The MM's clearing the decks

So I stayed out
There will always be more trades to come.

Do you use currency strength to gauge what to look at?

Trades that were taken today and still running

Yes, it is still a work in progress as I learn more about SMC and implement it on the charts. I'm still making mistakes but we learn from them and hopefully get better as a result

Haha, no XU-Hybrid with BUY and SELL signals
However, I am definitely loving this way of trading. I feel that I am so much more involved in the decision-making process of my trades now

Had a silly and unnecessary loss this morning

Had too tight a stop loss and paid the price
The rest of the trades are still running and looking good

And you nailed it.
Now I'm playing with this tool I found on this forum while I'm waiting for Xard's new update :-)

What are the tools/indicators you have on your chart?

Everything I found today on that "semi" EA I packed into a rar file.
They also had a newer version, but I couldn't find one that worked, the license had expired.
