Trading Diary ~ Thursday 11th April 2013
11:55am (10:55am UK time) ~ I was up and about relatively late today after getting back here at 2am this morning – we went off to a neighbours for supper and a card evening last night. I got into my study here an hour ago to do some emails and also watch a few charts before lunch to see if I can spot any trade opportunities.
Not long ago I got into a ‘long’ position on my EUR/USD chart and at the moment it’s showing a very small profit, so I will report back later with an update.
21:55pm ~ I sat down here at 6pm to watch for trades with my “evening” system and within half an hour I was was in a ‘long’ trade – although it was stopped out almost immediately with a small 15 pip loss. Eighty minutes later I had my second trade and that worked out ok, coming in with a 35 pip profit – as I’ve mentioned before, this “evening” system has a strategy whereby a losing trade is cancelled out by the a larger profit on the subsequent trade, quite a unique occurrence I believe. So my evening trading came in at +20 pips, and my earlier EUR/USD trade gave me +33 pips by the time I came out just before my lunchtime.
So far this month my trading has given me 886 pips
Daily Target Reached ? YES (+53 pips) I traded for a few hours around midday and for nearly four hours this evening.
