Trading Diary ~ Thursday 14th February 2013
09:30am (CET) ~ Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone - and I hope all you guys out there have got tonight’s ‘activities’ planned and sorted out. I’ve been here in the study for an hour or so, doing emails and Skype calls plus watching my MT4 charts for and trade set-ups. It had been fairly quiet, but I can see a possible ‘pattern’ starting on my S&P500 chart for a ‘short’ trade. Just need the price to come down a bit further.
I am off this afternoon for a short trip back to the UK, but will be back here on Monday. I will report back later with updates on any trades I may have.
12:20 (CET) ~ Just finished a Skype call and 15 minutes ago I came out of my S&P500 ‘short’ trade with a profit of +50 pips. I’m now going to email ALL my customers with the exact trade details, then after lunch I’m off to Alicante Airport to begin my journey back to the UK. Going to miss the weather out here !
8:35pm (UK time) ~ Got back here from Stansted Airport just before 7pm and as the girlfriend was cooking me some supper, I opened up this laptop here in the kitchen to do a bit of ‘evening’ trading. A signal had triggered a long trade on the S&P500 around 6:30 but I was still able to enter the market as the price had not risen that much in the past 30 minutes, and I came out a few minutes ago with my normal 20 pip profit. Now to enjoy the rest of my Valentine’s evening……..
Daily Target Reached ? YES (+70 pips) I traded for 4 hrs this morning plus an hour and a half this evening
