my trading day ~ thursday 24th march 2011
Another lovely day in the south-east of the country. As soon as I came downstairs this morning, I thought it was too nice to sit in the office, so I got the bike out of the garage and went off on a cycle ride. My application for the London To Brighton Cycle Race has been accepted, so I’m going have to step up my cycling over the next couple of months, and end up doing around 30-40 miles per day while training as the actual ride is 54 miles I believe.
Anyway – I was back in my study at just before midday to watch for trade signals on my “Any-Time” trading system. My 1st trade was entered at 13:45 (EUR/USD) and one minute later I was also in another long trade (EUR/JPY) and then 5 minutes later I got in my 3rd trade of the afternoon. All went well for 30 minutes and then things all started happening at once. At 2:30pm I had my 4th trade signal an entry and 30 seconds after I closed off my 3rd trade (+16pips) and then 3 minutes later my 1st and 2nd trades signaled to stop (+17pips and +26pips). Around 25 minutes later I had a signal to come out of my last trade (long trade on the S&P500), and that managed +40 pips – so all in all, I got a total of +99 pips.
I was all finished at 3pm, and I drove over to my youngest son’s school to pick him up – he’s staying the evening with me and we’re both going off to scouts tonight – I am a parent helper when I manage to get down there (depending on my trading)
Anyway – back at 3:30pm ready for a very strange couple who are looking at buying this place. At 4pm I started watching for signals on my “Evening” system and my first one came up at 4:30pm and gave me +21pips when I got out just before 5pm. My 2nd trade was just on 5pm and was stopped out shortly after at -14pips. My last trade was entered a few minutes before 6pm and that gave me +40 pips by the time I got out at 7:20pm.
A quick shower and we went off to Scouts for the evening. A good day on the markets – plenty of trade signals.
Daily Target Reached ? YES (+146 pips) I traded both sessions today
