Trading Diary ~ Wednesday 1st May 2013
08:25am ~ I’m going to have the morning here in my study catching up on emails plus a bit of trading as well. After lunch I am off to the cottage in Southwold for a few days before returning to Spain. I will report back later with news of any trades I might find.
09:30am ~ Well, I’m in my first trade of the morning, a ’short’ position on my Gold chart. The price has risen slightly so at the moment I am down by 10 pips or so.
14:35pm ~ I have stayed on trading for a bit longer than I originally planned as both trades I got into showed good signs of continuing profit. The first trade I entered which I described earlier (Gold) eventually gave me 214 pips when I came out a few minutes ago. The other trade I had was on Brent Oil and that ended at +187 pips when I came out of the position at 2:14pm. Both trades were from my trendFX collection of strategies.
As the sun is still shining, I’m off on my motorbike now to Suffolk for a few days.
21:00pm ~ I got up here at 6pm, and quite quickly stuck this laptop on just to see if there were any trade opportunities for this evening. There were actually quite a lot of set-ups that were showing so by 7:30pm I was in two trades and rejected one randomly as I was also going to cook supper for 4 friends so I did not want too much to concentrate on. I ended up getting two good results (and the one I did not take was also good)
My score tonight from the two trades were +62 pips (S&P500) and +105 pips (Gold trade)
Daily target Reached ? YES (+568 pips) I traded on and off for most of the day – but the result was worth it !
