Well I had a good feeling about 2011 and so far so good.  If all my weeks were like this then I’d be a happy boy. My income trading generated 62 pips off 3 trades for a 3% return and one of my position trades has triggered.  I mentioned earlier in the week that I […]

It’s been a very jumpy morning on the intraday charts. I had a signal to take GForce long this morning and even though I had a view that it might not trigger or if it did trigger then the likelihood of getting 70 pips was slim (with it having to break the big 1.600) I […]

It’s an interesting day in October. The majors did their ADR in the Asia session overnight. Is there anything left for us in London? USDCAD is at parity!! Aussie is pretty much at parity!! Swissie keeps falling as does Yen. We are in new territory – nervous times?? Then up pops GFORCE telling me to […]

This is a trade that I am currently running in cable short. 3 positions now in this trade but with CPI figures due at 0930 I am aware that I am going to have to reduce my risk and will scale out half of my first full position in the next few minutes. 2 positions […]

This is my first blog for ages as I’ve been busy moving home and it’s been the school holidays, but now all that is done and I’m back blogging on FOMC Tuesday with a video! I didn’t think there would be much to do today, overnight in Asia was quiet with everyone waiting for this […]

if the setup is valid – even if you’ve just been stopped out. This morning’s trade was the G-Force set play with a short entry on cable at 1.5908 with a 20 pip stop and 60 pip target. I was a little concerned about entering the trade above the massive one and a half but […]

It’s been a strange week. I wasn’t too well on Monday and decided not to trade. And lo and behold that was the nicest day of the week trading wise. C’est la vie.  Tuesday and Wednesday were scratchy days but I was lucky enough to finish in profit.  I wonder whether the Chinese Public Holidays […]

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 […]

As mentioned in a previous post I’ve been away from the markets for approx the last 10-12 days.  I see and hear that there’s been a few great moves in that time I was away.  So yesterday I took none of my own trades as I simply looked at charts and tried to get a view […]
