08:45am  ~  I was up quite early on my second day of full-time trading as I’ve a meeting later this morning with solicitors trying to sort out my aborted house purchase in Portugal.

I started watching my trading platform here in the kitchen just before 6:30am, and when I opened up the S&P500 chart I could see a pattern had already formed for a strategy FOUR trade on my trendFX collection of systems, but the price had not gone high enough to trigger a trade. Eventually the price hit the trigger level at 6:45am and I was in a long-trade. There was nothing much else happening, so I just stuck with that one trade. If I’m trading on a laptop I usually just  my favourite 3 or 4 charts and do not watch more than that. A short while ago my trade hit the 20 pip target so I closed it off, and I’m off for a shower before meeting my solicitor. I will report back later regarding any “evening” trading I manage, I should be back home in time to watch for trades, even though I’ve got an appointment at 3:00pm to get one of my Morgans MOT’d.

7:10pm  ~  I’ve just closed off my only trade of the evening – it was a long one that kicked off just before 6 o’clock and gave me +26 pips when I ended it just now. Off now for a ‘free’ meal at Loch Fynne as I complained last week about a sub-standard experience I had in one of their resturants.

Daily Target Reached Today ? YES (+46 pips)    I traded for a few hours this morning plus two more hours this evening.
