Morning only again. Looks like plenty on offer this afternoon from the € but you can get too greedy.
Feed from FXPro broke up this afternoon for the first time since I've tried them, so not alot of point posting the charts as the major moves are already here.
[Four days of system B so far, totalling 791 pips - honeymoon period for sure]

a classic Boomtown Rats Monday morning...slow, stuttering, tough-to-see progress but a good test for any system
Euro's actually been making some steady progress but it's only really evident in retrospect, and my trailing stop knocked me out of the one decent entry I had on €¥, so currently underwater and will possibly go deeper over lunch as I'm loath to close what's open now

Moderate losses this morning, appalling losses this afternoon - time to accept early afternoons just aren't worth bothering with using this system.
Wouldn't have been quite so bad if I wasn't over eager with the trailing stops this morning, and had used bigger stops this afternoon. Does help put last week's big winnings into perspective though.

Hi Simon
Yep, same story as yesterday for me. Conditions must just be out of sync with my system settings (or that's what I'm telling myself). Going from the similarities last week, we're probably using some similar parameters, but trading the Yen pairs amplifies my losses big time!
Got bored by lunchtime and thought I'd try something different - set 20 pip targets with some different entry requirements, which worked better but then it got a bit clearer this afternoon anyway.
Better luck tomorrow - Gavin
