9 pm trade will be UP.

I need to stay late at work tonight, unfortunately.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

Looking at +£10 at the mo

 

[ordinaryguy76]

need to stop watching my trade, too nerve-wracking when it goes against me

 

[ordinaryguy76]

still at work and S&P is surging in the meantime. Will try to close / open trades from here, but weekly summary will need to wait until much later on.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

Totals for the day:
sell @ 1318.6, closed @ 1317.0. Profit: +£3.68 (+16 pips).

9 winners, 9 losers to date.

Current trades / orders:

Buy £2.3 S&P500 @ 1318.0, SL 1303.0

No opposite trade as I did not have time to set it up. Also, it's the weekend and S&P could potentially drop much further than 150 pips on Sunday.

Account balance showing: £647.62
Open P/L: -£3.22

Account movements are attached. Two financing charges from last weekend are missing (2 x -£0.14) as they did not fit on the screen within trading app.

Trade update.
Loss realised over weekend: -£2.30. Opening price amended automatically to 1317.0.
Account balance: £644.94 (financing was 3 x -£0.19)

Trade currently showing -£20.47.

Now, I am only 51 pips from my stop loss, but I don't have the opposite trade set up. Can't decide whether to set it up now or not, in case my SL gets hit before 2.30 pm.

I think I'll leave it for now and try to monitor throughout the day.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

150 pips SL served its purpose for now. Will it hold ?

 

[ordinaryguy76]

still holding, worst was 4 pips from SL.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

SL hit now, unlucky !
No opposite order set up. I might give it a miss.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

My opposite trade should be on now, but I decided I had enough for today.
9 pm trade looks like UP.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

Now, it seems that 9pm trade will be down... most probably !

 

[ordinaryguy76]

Trade currently showing -£3.74.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

-£6.38. Glad to have my day job !
I've removed opposite trade, just in case. I want to limit my daily risk now as much as possible, so that I don't lose the whole £100 bonus in 2 days (worst case scenario). I'm actually thinking, if I get down to £500, I might bail out.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

oh, I'm bored.
Anyway, 9 pm trade will be UP.
I will probably reduce stake if today goes bad.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

going well at the mo. I hope it will stay this way until 9 pm.

 

[ordinaryguy76]

Blimey, I was a few minutes late tonight (kids...)

sell @ 1312.9, closed @ 1312.0. Profit: +£1.98 (+9 pips).

I decided to reduce stake to £2.00 and did not do opposite trade to limit risk per day.

Current trades / orders:

Buy £2.0 S&P500 @ 1312.0, SL 1297.0

Open P/L: -£0.20

Hi Ordinaryguy76

Interesting Thread. Do you set a TP, if yes is it 150 pips?

Kind regards
