It's the end of a nice long holiday weekend, and it's time to start thinking about trading again.  I'm still sitting on a few positions held over from last week, all of which are currently in profit.  I'm short EUR/USD and AUD/USD, and long EUR/AUD.  All of these pairs have retraced a bit in recent days, so we'll see if they resume their trend and I keep riding them, or if they continue to retrace and I get out.

Tonight, I'm eyeing a short setup in GBP/JPY.  The pair has been in a bit of a downtrend in recent months with an area of support around 139.00, and for the past few days it's been hugging a down trendline that has been serving as an area of resistance.  It also happens to be just under a horizontal S/R zone that has been in place since mid-2009.  I think we've got some room to move down between its current price of 146.00 and the aforementioned area of support around 139.00.

I'm going to play this one with a tight initial stoploss - the pair has been consolidating in recent days and a logical place for the initial stoploss would be just above the down trendline.  If we break out to the upside of the falling trendline, I want to get out fast.  So, we'll test the waters with a small position and see where it takes us.  As always, I may be wrong!
