After yesterday’s early start and busy day, I had a bit of a lie-in and got up at 9 o’clock. I was down in the study by 9:30am to answer some emails while watching a couple of charts to see if I can have a trade with my “Any-Time” system. When I sit down to trade I like to have a certain level of silence, so that my concentration levels are appropriate – even if Ted and Susie are with me trading as well. This morning I have a few things to do at the same time, including a couple of phone calls to Australia – so I am only watching 4 charts on one screen. In this case, I just choose a few of my favourite instruments which include EUR/USD, S&P, GBP/USD, EUR/JPY.

Anyway just before 10 o’clock I spotted a potential trade signal on the EUR/USD and at exactly 10:00 I was in the trade. Forty-six minutes later I was out with +31 pips, plenty for my daily target. While the trade was on, there were no other great signals, so that was me done for the day –  I have also just had a guy round who has agreed to buy this house for the asking price, so a double happy morning.

I will report back later after trading my “Evening” system.

Update 8:15pm:  Just closed off my only trade for the evening a LONG (Up) one that started just before 6pm. I managed to get +29pips. I was aware that the long trend was not finished yet, so there was a few more pipsleft on the table, but I have 3 friends here at the moment pressurizing me to come with them to the pub, so I am off for the evening being happy with my profit so far…

Daily Target Reached ?  YES (+60 pips) I traded both the lunchtime session + evening.
