Trading Diary ~ Tuesday 13th August 2013

10:05am (CET) ~  The plan today is to do a bit of trading this morning with the other guys here, and then after lunch some Jet-Skiing ahead of our flight back to the UK later tonight.

11:15am (CET)  ~  Well, it’s been a quiet time on the markets so far, I’m the only one of us who’s opened a new position today (Pierre is still in a trade he started yesterday) and so far it’s 16 pips in profit.  It is a trade on my EUR/USD chart using one of the trendFX “Extra” strategies. Having said that, there is a fair amount of noise coming from Tim’s part of the kichen so I feel an announcement regarding some sort of trade is imminent from him.

14:55pm (CET)  ~ Eventually we are all done although it was not as busy a session as it was yesterday – with only myself and Tim having any new trades. As mentioned previously, my morning session started with a ‘long’ on EUR/USD (+21 pips) and also a short on the same chart just before midday (+22 pips)   In addition I had a loss on my Gold chart (-26 pips) with the same strategy as the two earlier trades and one more trade on the S&P500 (+21 pips) using my “Any-Time” UTB strategy.

19:10pm (CET)  ~ Off to airport soon for journey back to the UK, so a quick update on what’s been happening in the past few hours.  The tow-bar on Tim’s 2 week old Range Rover was faulty so we were not able to take the jet-skis down to the marina, so a couple of hours ago I turned on my laptop on again to see if I could see any “evening” trade opportunities. There’s been no “Trade With A Day Job” set-ups so far but I did have one trade on the S&P500 with my “Any-Time” UTB strategy – and the result has lifted my daily score to +114 pips.

Daily Target Reached ?    YES (+114 pips)     I traded the morning session plus a couple of hours early evening.
