Trading Diary ~ Friday 3rd May 2013
9:15am ~ A late start for me today after a very late night, and also no trading either for me as it’s the 1st Friday of the month which means it’s U.S. employment figures announcement at lunchtime (UK time). This Non Farm Payrolls announcement always mean that the market is on hold this morning waiting to see what the numbers turn out to be, and then it will shoot off in one direction or the other at 1:30pm – best to just have the day off from trading as I have advised previously. So far this week I have achieved +750 pips.
I shall be in front of this laptop for a short while this morning replying to emails and having a few Skype calls, and then off for a cycle ride at lunchtime with three other friends.
