Over the last couple of days I’ve had a few european centric Binary positions closing on me.  Whilst not necessarily taken with the French elections in mind they certainly played a part in their outcome.  One win and one loss.  Lets cover the losing position first: EURUSD After a wild start to 2012 where the [...]

Hello fellow traders from Co Louth, Ireland where I find myself this week with my family. Its been an interesting week to hear the Irish Governments Budget and their austerity plans (and the people’s reaction) in the context of the Friday 9th Euro Summit and all that it holds.  It’s also been interesting to hear [...]

Trading Update 17/2/2011 – a very slow week – 0.8%

February 17, 2011

It’s been a slow couple of weeks for my Weekly Growth trades.  Either no set-ups on my charts or orders have been placed but not triggered within their time limit.  This week I’ve had orders in on GBPUSD but alas so far no trigger.  That’s the way it goes sometimes. My Weekly Income Trades triggered [...]

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. (Apologies to the literate amongst us). Sunday saw my usual short-term and swing trades setting up and I was doing the necessary setup work.  I was also trialling my new brokers platform in an effort to make my Sunday Income trades easier to [...]

It’s been a while since I wrote about trading. My apologies but I’ve been busy reviewing 2010 and planning 2011 to make it a fantastic year.  More of that later. I opened no new positions in the last 2 weeks of the year.  So I sat down on Sunday evening to plan position trades and [...]

Hey there folks, Well today I decided to get back to the desk nice and early and try out some intra-day trades.  I’m not going to deny that it was a shock to the system to be getting up at 0530 after a few months of later starts but it felt good to at last [...]

The opportunity cost of indisciplined trading – EU & EJ – +126 points

August 26, 2010

Hey traders, Still no intra-day trading but I did manage to take a couple of end of day swings which I closed out for +126 pips profit.  You might be saying that’s a great result however you’d be wrong.  I closed both trades early due to boredom / changing  view.   This is a great story [...]
