my trading day ~ friday 7th may 2010

Good morning to you all.

I am just trading with my laptop today in the kitchen, so I’m watching the EUR/USD forex pair in-between doing loads of other non trading things – including being sociable to the 10 or so people who seem to be around today ! My first trade (with my “Any-Time” system) was a few seconds after 9:30am and netted me my daily target of +25 pips. Having my day’s profit in the bag, I did not really concentrate any more on the chart, but just before midday I saw an excellent set-up, and at 12:09  I went short on the Euro/Dollar. This trade had a trade target of +64 pips and a stop-loss of around 30 pips.  It came out as a winner, so my day’s trading gave me +89 pips.

Now – I am going to stop trading ! Well until this evening.

My “Trade With A Day Job” evening system gave me a short (down) trade at 5:20pm and finished with my normal profit of +20 pips. There was more profit left in the trade if you had moved your stop down with the trade – and as I write, it is still on a downward trend.

Happy with my day – as I was not really concentrating 100% on trading – and I came out with +109 pips.

I must add – if you want to trade for a living, you must give it ALL your concentration, it is only as I am still recovering from my hospital visit that I am working on a very part-time (more than usual) timetable, and any money that i earn in the next month or so, I will treat purely as a bonus.  Hopefully next week will see me back to 50-60% fitness.

I hope you all enjoy a nice, relaxing weekend.
