Second Trade from Maui, Hawaii...

I thought it would be pretty great trading from Maui, but this trade was just great. Another RSI(14) divergence trade on EUR/JPY. This one ran off to the tune of +81 when it was finally closed. There were some scale outs along the way.

He's a serious hedge fund pro.: One of my regular (technical) port of calls is to the Dollar Index to see what that’s up to. It’ll offer a snapshot of $ weakness v/s strength.
