Trading Diary ~ Tuesday 16th April 2013
9:35am ~ I have some errands to do in town this morning, then it’s up to Suffolk for a few days to the cottage after lunch. I’ll report back later with any trades I do as I’ll be sitting down in front of my charts late afternoon.
16:35pm ~ I sat down here in the kitchen 20 minutes ago and switched on my MT4 charts on to look for any trade opportunities – and a few minutes ago I entered a ‘long’ position on the S&P500 (using a strategy from the trendFX collection). I’m not at break-even yet as the price is still wavering around the entry level, but I’ll report back later with an update, and let you know about any other trades I find.
18:40pm ~ I’ve had two trades this evening, my earlier trendFX trade managed +63 pips, and I also had a subsequent “Trade With A Day Job” evening system trade that I’ve just come out of, came out at +28 pips. Time for a few beers at the Lord Nelson now, not been up there for a few weeks.
Daily Target Reached ? YES (+91 pips) I traded for two and a half hours this afternoon/evening
