Trading Diary ~ Tuesday 2nd April 2013
14:30 (CET) ~ After a nice Easter weekend, it’s back to a bit of normality today. This morning was just shopping at Mercadona and then a short cycle ride up to Guadalest and back by lunchtime. I switched on this laptop a few minutes ago to have a look at my charts and as I checked the GOLD chart I could see a ‘short’ trendFX trade had already triggered, but the price was still ok for entry, so I got into the market pretty sharpish. So far the price is still going down as I type so I will keep you informed as to its progress later on.
15:35 (CET) ~ I’ve got to go out now as I’ve a tennis match with a neighbour so I have shut off my GOLD trade. I have managed a profit of +141 pips, a nice start to my trading in April.
18:25 (CET) ~ Just got back home and I’m going to start watching my MT4 charts for any “Trade With A Day Job” set-ups. I will also watch for trades with my other systems as well, as quite often I’ll have two or three trading opportunities within a short space of time and as long as they’re in the same direction I will enter multiple positions. I will report back later on any trades I have.
21:45 (CET) ~ (20:45 UK time) I did end up having a few trades this evening and the first one kicked off shortly after I switched on this laptop. It was an “evening” strategy set-up that was stopped out fairly quickly at minus 11 pips. My next trade was from my “Any-Time” collection of trend reversal strategies and I have just come out of that one (with a 43 pip profit) and my last position was was my “evening” system again which gave me +45 pips when I also came out of that trade a few minutes ago.
Daily Target Reached ? YES (+218 pips) I traded for a few hours this afternoon + just over 3hrs this evening.
