Trading Diary ~ Monday 8th April 2013
10:15pm (CET) ~ I’ve had a relaxing day today with a busy evening of trading. I am staying with a friend (Tim) at his house in France and after a late breakfast we spent most of the day playing tennis while the WAGS were out shopping and sightseeing. We got back indoors just after 6pm and decided we would do a bit of trading using our respective strategies.
My first two trades kicked off just around 6:30pm – the one on Brent Oil started off ok and the price rose steadily but the S&P500 position was quickly stopped out with a small loss of 11 pips. My 3rd trade was on the S&P again and did ok when I came out a short while ago. That trade gave me +115 pips and my earlier Brent Oil trade gave me +101 pips. My overall total for the evening came out at +205 pips. Tim was just trading the AUD/USD forex pair and I believe he did ok but not sure what his exact score is so far, he’s leaving it to run overnight.
Daily Target reached ? YES (+205 pips) I traded this evening for just over 4 hours.
