friday 18th march 2011
More of the same today as yesterday. I had a nice lie-in and got down to the office just after 10 o’clock and spent most of the day answering emails, and catching up on things with Susie – and also had a look at her progress learning my “Trade With A Day Job” evening system – she seems to be getting on well with it.
I finished at 2:30pm and got my bike out and went for a 10 mile cycle – I haven’t been out on the bike since Monday, so had a good work–out ~ and was back home just before 4pm.
I switched on a computer in my office above the garage to watch for trade signals on my “Evening” system. I got into a ‘short’ trade just before 4:30pm and came out just after 6pm when the index hit a ‘big’ number (12800) as you will often find that any price chart will reverse at these ‘big’ numbers. My profit for the session was +33 pips.
A quick reminder about the start time for my “Evening” system – as the U.S. has moved their clocks forward one hour before we have, their trading day is out of sync with ours for a few weeks, hence the reason why I am starting to trade the strategy at 4pm instead of 5pm. Even if you cannot start trading that early it does not matter, there are trade signals all the way upto 9pm if you want to trade loater in the evening.
By 7pm I was on the train into London for a night out with friends.
Daily Target Reached ? YES (+33 pips) I just traded the evening session
