An early start for me today (6am!!)  - and as I had a lot of emails and admin work to do today, I decided to trade my new “Trade With A day Job USA” System – as it is a very relaxed, trend following strategy. It does not produce as many trades as my “Any-Time” system – but is equally as successful percentage wise.

My first trade came along at 6:16am on the Euro/Dollar currency pair – and gave me a starting account boost of +14 pips. Between 9 and 10am I had another 2 trades – and there was then a gap until the afternoon  when i had another 2 trades to give me a total of +57 pips for the day. As I have mentioned before, it is quite a relaxing system to trade and because of the timeframe I use, you do not need to be watching the charts every minute of the day – just the occasional glance will do – so it was ideal for me today as I had plenty of other things to do during the day.

I also traded my “Trade With A Day Job” strategy after 5pm – and there was the normal +20 pips on offer, although because the market was moving so quickly in a downward direction – I ended the evening with +96 pips with this system – and customers who have this strategy have been emailed (as usual) detailing how I managed this large profit.

So – all in all – a very profitable day (+153 pips) and I managed to catch up on a lot of other work as well, and 9pm in my office saw me a very happy chap with a celebratory whiskey in my hand !! And also the prospect of a ‘Markets Mastered Bank Holiday’ tomorrow (Friday) due to the Non Farm Payrolls (employment) announcement from the USA.
