Nick’s Trading Diary – ANNOUNCEMENT

Hello everyone – just a short note to inform you that for a short period I am stopping my daily trading exploits while I concentrate on finishing my “ultimate” trading system. Do not worry though, I am planning on returning to full-time trading once this project is completed.

As many customers will be aware, I have been developing this system over the past 12 months as part of my monthly “Trading-Education” eBook series and shall continue until around Oct/Nov-19 when I envisage it will then be completed and ready for release.

There will also be a totally new website which will be launched around the same time.

Nick’s Trading Diary -Thursday 28th February 2019

Planning on spending a lot of the day here in my home office catching up on ‘admin’ plus watching my collection of favourite charts. Any trades I take will be detailed below.

09:55am:   The only possible opportunity so far this morning is on the UK FTSE-100 15-min chart – but I need to wait until the next candle forms before considering it.

10:05am:  I am now in a ‘short’ position on the above mentioned chart. It’s a Master-The-Trend Strategy-A set-up with an 11 pip stop loss.

10:40am:  I’m going to help a neighbour for an hour or so, so I have set my ‘take-profit’ at +20 pips on my FTSE position and kept the stop loss at 11 pips.

12:30pm:   Back home now and just noticed that my FTSE trade has been stopped out at -11 pips.

13:55pm:  I am now in a ‘long’ position on my 15-min WTI Crude Oil chart, it’s a Master-The-Trend Strategy-B pattern with a 20 pip stop loss.

15:45pm:   Just taken a profit on my WTI Crude position, it has ended at +36 pips giving me an overall score for the day of +25 pips.

Switching my screens off now ahead of a long weekend break although I shall still be sending out my Trading-Guidance Sheet and Trading-Ideas Chart to subscribers early tomorrow morning.

Nick’s Trading Diary – Wednesday 27th February 2019

Back in front of my screens this morning so any trades I take will be detailed below – but I will be finishing at lunchtime as we have a 40-mile cycle ride planned for this afternoon.

07:50am:  Just taken a ‘short’ position on my GOLD 15-min chart, more details in a moment.

08:00am:   My GOLD position is a Master-The-Trend Strategy-B set-up with a 12 pip stop loss.

08:10am:  Now also in a ‘short’ position on my German DAX-30 15-min chart using the same strategy as my GOLD trade. My stop loss on this occasion is 19 pips.

10:25am:   My GOLD position is trundling around at break-even but I have now taken a profit on my DAX-30 trade (+44 pips)

11:25am:   Just seen that the GOLD position has been stopped out at -12 pips giving me an overall total for the day of +32 pips.

I am out at 13:00pm for a long cycle ride with neighbours so I won’t open any further trades today.

Nick’s Trading Diary – Tuesday 26th February 2019

My plan today is to be here in my home office catching up on admin and also watching my charts from time to time.  Any trades I take will be detailed below:

08:05am:   Nothing to report so far on my collection of favourite charts.

09:35am:   Just taken a ‘Long’ position on my Brent Crude 15-min chart using the Master-The-Trend Strategy-B pattern – stop loss is 24 pips.

10:30am:    I’ve not taken a +25 pip profit on my Brent position as the higher timeframe suggests we could see the price going further upwards.  Let’s see……

13:05pm:   The Oil price has been all over the place but now seems stuck around the $65:6 level so I’m out with a reasonable +46 pip profit.

14:25pm:    Back from lunch now and decided to switch my charts off for the day.  Back same time tomorrow

Nick’s Trading Diary – Thursday 21st February 2019

A usual day at home and now I’m settled in the office eventually after a long cycle ride I shall be watching my collection of favourite charts.

11:40am:  Nothing to report at the moment.

13:50pm:   Back from lunch  a few minutes ago and I’ve just taken a ‘short’ position on my WTI Crude Oil 15-min chart. It’s a Master-The-Trend Strategy-B set-up with a 17 pip stop loss. The trade will be quite quick potentially as the Crude Oil Inventories announcement is due out in a few hours which could cause some volatility in the market.

15:20pm:  The Oil market is getting more volatile ahead of the announcement so I am now taking the unusual step of watching my chart more closely – I may have to close the position quickly.

15:45pm:  Out of the WTI trade with +30 pips, the price is getting too volatile now.  Charts are now closing for the day.

Nick’s Trading Diary – Wednesday 20th February 2019

Planning to spend the day here in my home office catching up on admin and watching my charts.  Any trades I take will be detailed below.

09:20am:  Just taken a ‘short’ position on my UK FTSE-100 chart, it’s a UTB Price-Reversal set-up with a 15 pip stop loss.

10:05am:  Just taken a quick +22 pip profit from my FTSE position.

10:15am:  Nothing much else is occurring on my charts so I am off for a cycle ride.

11:20am:   Back now and just taken a ‘short’ om my 15-min WTI CRUDE OIL chart, it’s a Master-The-Trend Strategy-B set-up with a 15 pip stop loss.  The trade actually triggered while I was out but has not moved downwards enough to invalidate an entry at this time.

12:00pm:   I have just closed off the WTI position as the price went reasonably quickly down to the $56.00 but looked as though it may then move back upwards. Happy with the +21 pip profit.

12:30pm:   An invitation for a game of golf has just arrived so I am closing off my charts for the day – back here tomorrow.

Nick’s Trading Diary – Friday 15th February 2019

I am planning on spending the morning at least here in the office catching up on admin and watching my collection of favourite charts from time to time. Any trades I take will be detailed below.

09:55am:  Been out for an early morning cycle ride in the sunshine but now back and ready for some trading – nothing on the charts at the moment.

10:25am:   Taken a ‘long’ position on my German DAX-30 15-min chart, it’s a Master-The-Trend Strategy-B set-up with a modest 18 pip stop loss

11:45am:  I have closed the DAX position off for a quick +103 pip profit as the price action is suggesting a small retrace downwards now that it’s reached the 11200 level.

As it’s Friday and the day’s score so far is acceptable, I shall now be switching off my charts and retiring for the weekend.  My plan is to be back trading on Tuesday as I need to be in London on Sunday & Monday.

Nick’s Trading Diary – Thursday 14th February 2019

After a long lay-off I am planning a day here in my home office watching the screens for any trades that may pop up.

10:50am   Just taken a ‘long’ position on my UK FTSE-100 15-min chart, it’s a Master-The-Trend Strategy-A set-up with a 12 pip stop loss.

13:25pm:  There is an Economic Announcement due out in a few minutes from the U.S. and this could affect the UK market so I have just closed off my FTSE position. It has managed a profit of +29 pips.

Out to a late lunch now.

14:45pm:  Back home from lunch but far too sunny to be stuck indoors in front of computer screens !  Back tomorrow morning.

Nick’s Trading Diary – Tuesday 12th February 2019

Although I have been away from my charts on a daily basis for a while now, things have calmed down at home now and all the major building work has now finished so I am going to get back to ‘normal’ trading once again starting from tomorrow.

Nick’s Trading Diary – Tuesday 29th January 2019

If you follow my trading or receive my daily “Trading-Ideas” emails you will know that I’ve had most of the month away from my charts, writing trading books instead.

I am planning to get back to some serious trading at the beginning of February so I will post updates next week.
