my trading day ~ monday 24th may 2010
Hello – I hope you have all had a great weekend ?
My start to the working week started off quite leisurely, and after breakfast,I was ready at my screens by 10:30am.
There was not a lot happening in the markets in the morning – and my first trade signal (with my “Any-Time” system) came along just after 12:30pm (EUR/GBP) It was a short (down) trade and gave me a profit of +15 pips.
Just before that trade finished, I entered a trade with the Euro/US dollar Forex pair, but that one came out as a loser (-24 pips) and my final trade came along at 3:15pm (EUR/USD again) which gave me a profit of +15 pips. My total for the day’s work was only +6 pips – but this is the forst time for more than a year that I can remember a daily profit this low.
After a short break I carried on at the computers, watching for a signal on my “Evening” system (Trade With A Day Job) and I entered a trade just after 5pm. As there was an obvious trend, I did not come out of the trade at the normal target of +20 pips, I stayed in and managed +72 pips – so that made up a bit for my dismal showing during the day – so a total earning for me today of +78 pips. I could hold my head high when I popped into my local pub at 10pm !!
