I am not that bothered about trading a lot this week, as the markets have not got back to normal yet after the Christmas break, and we also have ‘Non-Farm-Payroll’ Day tomorrow. I believe by next Tuesday things should be ‘as usual’ in the markets.

Today was spent answering emails and also working with Max on a new design for the Markets Mastered website.  At 5pm I was watching for a trade signal on my “Trade With A Day Job” starter system, and a few minutes after I started watching, I was in a LONG trade and that went on until just before 7pm (+20 pips) and I then immediately took a short trade for a quick +14 pips. Happy with my +34 pips today.

As I have said many times before, daily earnings of +20 pips will afford you a very nice annual income, there is no need at all to strive for hundreds of points – it’s not worth all that time spent trying to achieve that total, it is far better to have a balanced home/work life…..

As mentioned before – no trading tomorrow, it is Non-Farm-Payroll announcement time again.
