My Trading Day ~ Wednesday 3rd August 2011
8:00am. I woke at my new house here in Chelmsford at 6 o’clock this morning, and I wandered down to my study and switched the two screens on (I also have a 3 screen set-up in my office over the garage) to see what the news was and also to watch a few charts to see if there were any interesting trade signals with my trendFX system. At 6:30am there was a potential trade setting up and I was in a ‘short’ trade (USD/CHF forex pair) at 6:48am. I kept an eye on a few other charts, but there was not much else happening. Around 50 minutes later I had +25 pips up as the profit on this trade so I closed it off there – happy as it is around my ‘daily’ target amount.
I’ll report back later about the rest of my day – after a shower and a small breakfast, I am going to spend some time replying to emails that have come in while I was away on holiday, and then after lunch I’m off to Bluewater in Kent to purchase some furniture.
6:00pm. I got back home at 4 o’clock this afternoon and went straight up to my office to do a bit of paper work and also watch my S&P500 chart to see if I could have a trade with my “Evening” trading system. It was obvious just after 5 o’clock that we were going to have a long trade coming up soon, and at 5:25pm I was in the market at my usual level. Around 20 minutes later I was out with a profit of +45 pips. Down to the kitchen now, I have four friends coming over for supper and some snooker.
Daily Target Reached ? YES (+70 pips) I traded early morning + the evening session
