Further to my previous post, I have now stopped trading for the day – with the run up to the ‘Non Farm Payrolls’ announcement at 1:30pm (GMT)  The markets are going to start to become more volatile and unpredictable, so it is not worth risking the gains I have made so far.

It has been a fairly quiet morning on the markets with my ‘Any-Time’ trading system, I had a relatively late start this morning, and was in front of the screens at 9:30am after a leisurely breakfast and my signal showed itself at just after 10:00am on the German DAX Index.  I had three more trades before I stopped just after midday and managed a total of 43 pips for the day, with no losses.

I am going to get back in front of the computers at 5pm to watch and analyze the U.S. market after the NFP news, and see if it is suitable to trade with my ‘Trade With a Day Job’ system. Until then – a lazy afternoon in the sunshine…..
