I am here in the office today but not sure how much chart watching I will be doing as I want to concentrate on finishing this month’s edition of my Trading-Education eBook in the next 3 to 4 days. Any trades I do take will be detailed below.

09:10am:     While looking at the UK Brent Crude Oil to answer a customer’s question I noticed a Master-The-Trend pattern emerging and I am now in a ‘Short’ position on the 15-min chart. It’s a Strategy-B set-up with a 19 pip stop loss.

09:50am:   The Brent Crude price is unusually volatile this morning and strangely the U.S. equivalent (WTI Crude) is not falling as far which always rings alarm bells so I have played safe and closed off my position with a reasonable profit.  My score is +89 pip and I will now send out a chart screenshot to customers who also trade the set-up.

16:20pm:     I have had some technical issues so updates to this diary have not been published.

I have done no more trading today since the Brent Crude position so my final score for the day is +89 pips and the running total for October is now +501 pips.
