8:45 am  ~    Unusually for me, I am up early on a Monday morning and down here in the kitchen at the cottage in Suffolk watching a few charts on this laptop.  The markets often take a while to settle down at the beginning of the week, but my GOLD chart was fairly uniform in its price-action with a nice upsurge late last night.  On this chart I’ve just had a reversal trade set-up show  (from my “Any-Time” collection of strategies), so I’m just waiting for the price to hit the trigger level.  At the moment Gold quite close to the ‘Big’ number of $1600 so that will be an obvious profit target, I’ll report back later with details of this possible trade.

10:50 am   ~  The potential trade on GOLD I mentioned earlier did materialise – and it did ok. I’ve just come out of my position a few minutes ago at 1600 giving me a profit of +24 pips.  I am off to a friend’s farm up the road now to do some clay-pigeon shooting for the rest of the day.

18:35  ~  I’ve just come out of a couple of trades – and in total I have had three positions this evening.  My 1st one was a “Trade With A Day Job” one which I got into just before 5pm soon after I arrived back here, it was stopped out fairly quickly at -13 pips. My next trade was just after 5:30pm  (trendFX strategy 1)  quickly followed by another “Evening-System” trade 10 minutes later. These two last ones gave me +33 and +28 pips respectively, so my evening’s efforts came in at +48 pips.   Off to the Lord Nelson now for early supper.

Daily Target Reached ?  YES (+72 pips)       I traded for a few hours this morning plus just over 2 hours this evening.
