Trading Diary ~ Monday 20th May 2013
11:45am ~ I arrived back here in the UK late last night, so had a nice lazy morning around the house. I’ve got some shopping to do now and then I’ll sit down in the study to watch some charts and also do some emails. I will report back later with any details of trades I manage to take.
15:20pm ~ I have had just one trade so far this afternoon, it was a ‘long’ position on the S&P500. Over a 90 minute period the index rose quite well and I’ve just come out of the market with a +50 pip profit. Off for an invigorating but short cycle ride now, along the river bank out towards the coast at Maldon. I have a Skype call at 4pm so I will be back here soon to do some trading as well.
18:35pm ~ Well that was a busy session. I have just come out of trade numbers three and four. My earlier trades were from my trendFX collection on the S&P500 and Gold and these last two were both on the S&P utilising my two ‘beginners’ strategies – and if this sounds all too confusiing I can offer a detailed explanation if you’d like to talk via Skye. All of my students/customers will be having full details emailed in due course.
Anyway, back to the outcomes, my 1st trade on the S&P500 came out at +30 pips, the second one on Gold gave me +202 pips. The two trades I’ve just closed off on the S&P500 finished up at +50 and +55 pips respectively, giving me a total for the evening of 337 pips. Off to the Lion Inn now for some supper, and then up to the cottage in Suffolk for the rest of the week.
Daily Target Reached ? YES (+387 pips) I traded for two hours this afternoon + two and a half hours this evening
