This morning was quite a different experience to yesterday, there was bright sunshine at 6am. It prompted me to have some coffee and toast out on the balcony of my office over the garage for breakfast.

I was ready to watch for trades (on my “Any-Time” system) by 6:45am and as I started to get my 8 charts up onto 2 screens I noticed that a trade had already triggered on the S&P500 index, but the price was returning back to the original entry price – so it was either retracing to the stop-loss or just having a slow down before it resumed in the direction I thought it should go. I entered the trade at 7:04am and watched to see what way it was going. A few minutes later I had another signal come up on my Gold chart, and I entered my second trade at a few minutes past 7:15. They both gradually went off in the right direction, and at 8:33 I closed off the first trade with a profit of +19 pips, and as I was close to my daily target, I shut the 2nd trade off a few minutes later at +32 pips, so I managed +51 pips in a couple of hours.

I then had to shoot off to London as I had my offers on the 2 flats accepted earlier (by fax – do you remember those machines ??!!) so I had a couple of things to tie up there – solicitors and a builder to start very quickly. As they are both repossessions, the previous owners had destroyed them before being evicted, so there is 2 to 3 weeks work to get them habitable – but they are in a nice area, so I will enjoy living up there for a while.

It is now 5pm and I am back from London and ready to watch for trades on my “Evening” system. I will report back later as to my result for the evening ~~ +51 pips so far.

Daily Target Reached ? YES (+51 pips)
