08:20am  ~   I was up with the larks this morning after an uninterupted sleep last night, and I wandered down here to the kitchen at 7 o’clock and had a few bits of toast & coffee while I waited for my MT4 platform to load onto a laptop. I can scroll through quite a number of charts within a very short time with this platform, and the only interesting thing I could see was a potential signal coming up on my Brent Oil chart. It worked out ok and just before 7:20 I was in a ‘long’ trade. I got out just after 8am with my daily target of 20 pips.

I’m off for a cycle ride for an hour and then back here to do some emails and a couple of Skype sessions with prospective customers. I will report back later if I do anymore trading this evening.

On the news front, it is reported that Greece is close to agreeing a deal with the IMF for their next tranche of bail-out money.

9:15pm  ~   Well that’s me done for the evening – I had 3 trades, two with my part-time “Evening” system and one earlier with my trendFX collection of systems. The scores were +63, -11 and +33 pips, so my overall score for the evening came out at +85 pips. With my morning’s efforts, I have a grand total of +105 pips for the day, well over my normal target.

Out now for supper with friends.

Daily Target Reached Today ?  YES  (+105 pips)      I traded for just over an hour this morning plus the evening session
