Up and about at 8am – my plan today is to do just a few hours trading as I need to be over at a friend’s workshop later this morning to sort out the damage that resulted from yesterday’s ‘Lads Day Out’

I fired up my laptop at 8:30 in the kitchen with the intention of just watching just a few of my favourite forex pairs ’til around 11 o’clock.  My first signal (with my USA Forex System) started developing just after 9 o’clock and I was in a short trade at 9:17am. One minute after that a 2nd trade was triggered and within a few minutes the 1st trade showed excellent promise by shooting down almost immediately. By 9:42 it had reached its 30 pip target, so I came out of it then. In contrast, the 2nd trade was going nowhere and as I came out of the 1st trade it was treading water and showing no profit at all.

I hung on a few more minutes, and as it still showed no signs of wanting to go down, I closed it off at -1 pip, as I was very happy with the profit on the first trade. Usually I would have stayed around to complete the trade, but I was eager to get going with my second job of the day – sorting out yesterday’s grief.

I will be back in the study at 5pm to trade my “Evening” system (Trade With A Day Job) and I’ll report back then.

Wednesday evening trading session:

I was back in my study at 5pm to trade my “Trade With A Day Job” and my first trade kicked off at 5:30 and well before 6pm I had +24 pips in the bag. I took another trade opportunity at 6pm but that was very clear it was not going to work out, so I shut that one off at ‘break-even’ quite quickly.

My day’s total came out at +55 pips.
