Ahhh NFP day, either a glorious day of profits or a painful lesson in trading around major news announcements. Today for me was a strange mixture of both, though mostly due to luck did I manage to come away with profit in my pocket. The scores on the doors where: EURUSD -15 GBPUSD 0 EURUSD +11 […]

The theme of my trading for May seemed to be make pips – lose half – make more pips. All in the space of one day. Today being the 1st June I was clear headed enough to not make the same mistake. Today was make pips – lose a few pips  – finish – go […]

It’s been a busy, busy day, especially trialling some new ideas on Demo as well as trialling some traders work on EURJPY.  And what a day to be trialling ideas eh? The markets were up and down like a brides nightie!  I really did just end up jobbing the EURJPY. Overall for the day my live trading […]

Overall this has been a nice enjoyable week of trading which ended on a high note.  I’ll give a break down of Fridays results and then talk about some good trading….and some not so good.  Unlike FX Trader Sandy the mornings this week have worked well for me as the following breakdown for Friday morning […]

My trade sheet for today reads like this: Morning Trades: -64 pips Afternoon Trades: +220.7 pips Nett Position: + 156.7 pips I used to love getting up early in the morning, placing a few trades and walking away at 10 a.m.  pip positive and the whole day left to myself to do whatever I felt […]

No trading yesterday as I’d been in London on Tuesday and didn’t get home till midnight so I decided to have a day off trading and focus on other tasks. So back into it this morning and  a quiet overnight period meant there were a few nice set-ups appearing when I sat down at 0530 […]

So a short entry here as I catch up with my work. Tuesday was a day I was heading into London for meetings so it was just a quick couple of early morning breaks before I headed out the door. I had two early morning breakouts set-up on GBPUSD and EURUSD.  I’ll just focus on […]
