Monday 30 August 2010

Did some early trading last night on the Asian Open started ok with +7.9 pips but set up 4 SELLS on the USD/JPY.

Set stop loss wide enough I thought but did not expect such a pop up so was stopped out for -78.9 pips. Got back 50 pips on it falling again but not a good start to the week.

So this morning starting down £1.73, -21 pips..........

Monday 30th - Morning UPDATE

The Forex world proved to me this morning "Don't get cocky kid"

I still got loads to learn going down nearly 80 pips to start of this week. But I learned to keep emotions in check and trade your plan which stood me in good stead this morning.

Went from £50.15 to £50.68 then bottomed at £45.37, sat back and just took my time and turned it around to be up at my morning break, £53.38 +57pips.

Got pop out, back soon............

End of trade round up

Monday, well the Yen tried to spank my bum.

Traded today mainly USD/JPY. Lowest point down nearly 80 pips but kept my cool

Target 125 pips for the week and gained 82.2 pips today :clap: Acc. £55.05 up from £45 early this morning.

Feel good today being able to take such a hit and turn it into a positive session. In the past I would of crumbled and traded another day but I'm gaining in confidence.

Tuesday not trading be back Wednesday.

As always you can see my trades on myfxbook link below :arrowd:

Ok getting ready for Monday

Just re-charted for EUR/USD & USD/JPY

Little bit of Euro news Monday could bounce it up slightly Monday.

Yen broke the top of my down channel so I think a SELL will be on in the short term. Will look for BUY positions in the main on this pair. Japan's Governor speaks at 5.30am.

Tuesday Morning Update

Going for a break not feeling to well on these drugs for my ear.

Gained 32.6 pips this morning

Tuesday Afternoon update

Feeling better now

Wasn't feeling to good today but still put in a good trading session putting 15 trades on and gained 68.8 pips making 151 for the week.

Overjoyed as my target for the week was 125. But not getting cocky as I could lose 151 in a week if I lapse into my old trading habits.

Since I started on Oanda 18th August 2010 I thought I would post my results for August:

Gain: +104.62%
Drawdown: 10.48%
Balance: £59.14
Profit: £20.19
Interest: -£0.06
Deposits: £39.01

Total Trades 103
Won 84 (82%)
Lost 19 (18%)

Slowly building the balance and getting more confident in my trading. I see from the Poll I'm a Day Trader Dreamer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kEjwm_me_s, well at this rate I will be one day.

Back on Wednesday morning 6am
