my trading day ~ thursday 17th june 2010

Hello to you all, I hope the sun is still out wherever you are !

Another relatively early start for me today, as I have some visitors arriving late morning (for the day), so I wanted to try to get my trade target achieved before they get here.

I was in front of the screens in my home office just before 7am, and by the looks of the charts, it is going to be a “USA Forex System” type of day. Sure enough, a short signal came up 20 minutes later on Cable (GBP/USD Forex Pair) and within 30 minutes the price had shot past my daily target, and I closed off the trade at +36 pips.

I will update you later regarding the “Evening” system trade as it’s not time to start that yet !!

LATE UPDATE:

The evening system produced 2 trades, kicking off at 6:20pm (that was a losing trade of -14 pips) but the second trade at 7pm was a good one, and I ended the evening with a total profit of +38 pips

My total earnings for the day came to +74 pips, with one losing trade and two winners.

Day off for me tomorrow – just to make the weekend that bit longer. If you have ambitions to work just 3 or 4 days a week (and only a few hours a day) let me show you how. Just email me at nick@marketsmastered.com (or click HERE) and I’ll show you how I can help you achieve this ideal lifestyle.

Don’t forget – this time next year – you’ll have wished you started today !!

my trading day ~ wednesday 16th june

Hello to you all from a sunny South East of England. With the weather like this, I am definitely having a long weekend off – and may even start tomorrow !

I was at my desk ready to trade relatively early this morning, (7:30am) and although there was nothing very exciting going on signal-wise with my two main systems, I did see a trade developing with my  ‘free’ giveaway trading system on the Daily S&P Index, and sure enough, at a few moments past 8am, the trigger to enter short (downward direction) appeared. This trade moved swiftly down and I reached my daily target of +25 pips by well before 9am.

The rest of the day was spent mostly gardening, and I came indoors at 5pm to trade my “Evening” system (Trade With A Day Job). The first trade at just before 6pm was a losing one (-13 pips) but the 2nd one (at 6:15pm) did well, and I recouped my losses from the 1st trade and ended the evening with my target of +20 pips reached.

Don’t forget, if you would like to be sent either my ‘Free’ Trading system, my short eBook on the Thoughts Of Jesse Livermore or my eBook of a Live Trade as timed screen-shots, please email me HERE

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Just before I sign off for the day – I have had a couple of customers reporting that they were having trouble with the ‘Buy It Now’ buttons on my website, which prevented them from purchasing one of my manuals. If the same happens to you, just email me HERE and I will sort the problem out for you

my trading day ~ tuesday 15th june 2010

Morning to you all.

I am still in convalescence – so early starts (which I enjoy) are not part of my life yet, but another week or so should see me back to my old regime of going for a ‘hard’ cycle ride very early in the morning for exercise, and then getting into my office by 6 or 7 o’clock – there are some good trading opportunities at that time of the day.

Anyway – today was going to be a short one,as I wanted to get away to Southwold as early as I could – and I had all my screens set up by 8:30am. I have 2 systems that I use during my ‘Day-Time’ trading, my “Any-Time” system and also my “USA Forex” one, and by quickly looking at all my charts, I can tell which one should be better to use. Additionally my free system is a strategy that you can use as extra profit if you see the system’s pattern while you are trading another system. Don’t forget – if you want a copy of that system, just email me and I will send it across immediately.

The markets today however were not giving me any clues yet, so I thought I would just wait and see what comes up – and then on the one hour S&P chart a nice signal had started to develop at around 7am with my ‘USA Forex’ strategy.

When mentioning “Wait and see what comes up” it reminds me of a quote by that most famous of traders – Jesse Livermore. I think the quote goes something like this  ”It’s not the trading that makes the money, it’s the sitting and waiting” – he is basically saying is – do not trade just because you are bored, if you have a system – you have to wait for the exact set-up before you enter a trade – do not trade just out of boredom. If you have had to wait 4 hours for a signal, that’s what you have to do, that’s trading. I am lucky as I have 3 different systems to trade (I also use my ‘free’ system)  + my evening strategy, so I never have to wait that long ! I have a PDF document of the thoughts of Mr. Livermore if you would like a copy – just email me .    One of his best quotes is with regard to taking a loss, a big problem with new traders, as it plays games with your mind and you fall foul to fear and greed.   This is the quote:

The loss of the money didn’t bother me. Whenever I have lost money in the stock market I have always considered that I have learned something; that if I have lost money I have gained experience, so that the money really went for a tuition fee. A man has to have experience and he has to pay for it”

Anyway – back to that trade signal. It developed as I had hoped and I entered the trade at 9:06am and let it run up for a while, and I ended up with a profit of +46 pips. I did not close it off at my usual daily target of  +25 pips as the index was advancing so strongly.

Later on in the day – I had a signal on my “Evening” system at 5:40pm and I took advantage of the strong up-trend in the S&P index, and I finished the evening with +83 pips, so my day’s total came to +129 pips

my trading day ~ monday 14th june 2010

Good afternoon to you all.

I had a nice start to the ‘working’ week, had a bit of a lie-in and got down to the study at 9am, to start my trading day.

At first glance the markets were either going sideways, or trending upwards, so I though I might have to wait quite a while for a signal – but I spotted a trade with my “Free” system that I gave out last week and entered a trade on the EUR/USD at 9:15 and ended up (by 11am) with a profit of +64 pips. Way above my daily target !!

I will update you later on about my “Evening” system trade, as it’s not time to start trading that yet !

UPDATE: The evening trading system produced one trade at 8:15pm and was quite a strong move down, so I finished the session with +35 pips instead of the normal target of +20 pips.

So the total for my short ‘working’ day came out at +99 pips

update for the week ~ monday 7th to friday 11th june 2010

Good morning – just a short post to let you know how I got on trading this week.

It was a 4 day working week, as I took Wednesday off, and my “Any-Time” system (+free system) made me a profit of +153 pips, and the “Evening” strategy contributed +151 pips to my account, so a grand total of +304 pips for my week’s wages.

If you were trading full-time, you would be trading at between £20 and £200 per pip (I had an ask around other trader friends of mine) so you can see the amount of money that can be earned once you put the groundwork in and learn to trade successfully and professionally. I can show you how to do this. Trading the financial markets is not (as some people would have you believe) a “Get Rich Quick” scheme – it is a proper ‘career’ so the training must be done with that in mind.

When you start your financial trading training, you will obviously be doing part-time, working around your existing job, but even trading in the evening, you can see the amount of money you can potentially earn. And as you do not need your trading profits to live on – you can compound your earnings and so build up your trading account very quickly.

If you would like to start your trading career, please email me for more details – and I’ll send you a free system as well !!

Don’t forget – a year from now, you will wish you had started today !!

I wish you a relaxing weekend.

my trading day ~ friday 11th june 2010

Hello to you all, I hope you have had a profitable week on the markets, if you are trading at the moment – if you are not, come and join me !!

After a bit of a night out and a lie-in,  I managed to get into my study by 9am hoping for a very short working morning. As I always do, I glanced through the charts of the instruments that I usually trade, but I could see already that there was not going to be  signal on any of them for quite a while – with my systems, you can generally see a trade signal building up quite a long way away – and the only hope I could see was on the Daily Cash S&P500 Index.

Sure enough, a signal came up on my “Any-Time” strategy, and I entered a trade on the S&P just before 9:30 and within the hour I had my daily target of +25 pips. The rest of the day I spent in town doing some errands, and I was back in front of my laptop at 5pm to trade my “Evening” system.

I had just one trade at 5:30 and netted myself a profit of +30 pips, so the day ended with an extra + 55 pips in my trading account.

I will probably go back to my ‘normal’ 4 day trading week next week – if you were wondering why I was trading today !

my trading day ~ thursday 10th june 2010

Hello to all of you.

Still no exercise allowed, so I was up at 7am, and ready at my screens in my home office just before 8am, watching out for trades with my Any-Time system.

My first signal came up and the trade was entered at 8:08 on the EUR/USD and that ended being stopped out with a loss of  -20 pips. The next trade signal (on the Daily S&P500 index) came up just before 9am, and I actually entered the trade at 8:51am,  and that went on to make +40 pips within an hour. In the meantime, there was another trade signal on the EUR/USD – and I entered that trade just after 9:15 and within half an hour I closed it off for another +40 pips profit. My total for the few hours trading this morning came out at +60 pips.

I had exceeded my daily target (+25 pips) well before 10am, so I spent the rest of the day reading, a pastime I enjoy immensely, but do not always find time to devote to it. The book I chose was  Jesse Livermore’s Reminiscences Of A Stock Operator. I have read it many times, but I always get something more out of it each time I read it. If you would like a copy, I have it as an eBook as well – just email me and I will happily send you over a copy.

I was back in the office at 5pm to trade my “Evening” system (Trade With A Day Job) and I had 2 trades with that strategy, and came out with a profit of +41 pips for the evening, so my total for the day was a nice +101 pips, well over my daily target, but this does happen if I have a couple of trades running simultaneously as I do not know the outcome until they reach their target or get stopped out – if you see what I mean ?

my trading day ~ wednesday 9th june 2010

Hello to you all.

No trading today – there is far too much going on in the house with builders/plumbers/electricians etc. – so I am having a day away from the screens and giving them a bit of a hand (as much as I can)

My laptop is on, so I will be doing a few emails during the day.

Back in front of the screens tomorrow for a (part) day of trading….

my trading day ~ tuesday 8th june 2010 (and free trading system news)

Hello to you all,

I must admit, I did have a bit of a lie-in, but I was at my desk by 10:00am as I wanted to finish writing the manual for my free ‘give-away’ strategy today, so not much trading going on.

I did complete the manual just after lunch, and thought it might be a fun thing to do to look for a couple of trades with it, before the end of the afternoon. This simple system will work on ANY index/instrument/FX pair, but over the years, I have found it is particularly good on the S&P Cash Index, so I concentrated on that.

Well – would you believe – I had 2 trades, one after the other just after lunchtime. The first trade I entered at a minute past 2:30pm (UK time) which shot up and gave me +24 pips within 5 minutes, and then straight after I had a short signal and I entered that trade at 2:40pm and within 15 minutes I had a profit of +38 pips added to my trading account.

The rest of the afternoon I caught up with some emails, and I was back trading at 5pm with my  “Trade With A Day Job” evening system. The first trade kicked off just before 5:30pm and gave me the usual +20 pips, and just before 7pm there was a ‘special’ signal (mentioned at the end of the system manual) that gave me an extra +40 pips.

So my total for a short ‘trading’ day came out at +122 pips which was quite pleasing – considering my daily target should be just +25 pips !!

Don’t forget – if you would like to get your hands on my  ’Free Trading System’  just email me ~ those of you who have already contacted me about it will be receiving an email soon !

my trading day ~ monday 7th june 2010

Well after a week away from the screens – it is nice to be back watching the markets. I cannot do anything apart from sit still at the moment, so financial trading is an ideal occupation for me at the moment !!

I turned the computers on at 8:30am (UK Time) this morning in my study, and began looking for signals with my “Any-Time” trading system. As with all traders, I have  favourites that I like to trade – even though you can use this strategy for any instrument/index/Forex pair – so I had charts up for the following ~ EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, EUR/GBP, AUD/USD, USD/CHF & USD/CAD, although I must say that the first 3 mentioned here are the ones that I favour the most. If I am just trading with my laptop, those are the 3 charts I have up.  I also watch the S&P500 Cash Index and GOLD.

I have been asked on numerous occasions about the number of charts I have up on one screen at a time – I tend to have 3 charts visible on each screen, with a few minimized to the toolbar. Due to the amount of years I have been doing this – I can swap charts around in fractions of a second – so if any of you are new to this and still getting frustrated at arranging charts and getting generally organised screen-wise, do not despair, it’ll all become child’s play to you sooner than you can imagine.

Anyway – back to the job in hand – trading. My first signal with my “Any-Time” strategy came at 9:15am (UK time) on the EUR/USD forex pair, a long (up) trade that went on for just over an hour and gave me +21 pips at the end. Literally within seconds of me entering that trade, another signal came up and the entry level was breached – this time the S&P Cash Index, and that ended up a winner as well, finishing up at 10:30am with a profit of +30 pips – so my daily target was well and truly ‘in the bag’ by mid-morning.

I’ll let you know later how I get on with my “Evening” system –  Trade With A Day Job later on – but in the meantime – I am having the rest of the day off !! (And catching up on some emails)

Evening Update: I took a signal with my “Evening” strategy (Trade With A Day Job) at a few minutes after 5pm (UK time) which achieved its normal trade profit target of +20 pips within 20 minutes. There was another trade signal at 6:30pm which showed the market was just about to plummet over 200 pips in just over 2 hours. I had turned my computer off by the time that trade signal came along, so the total profit for my short day stayed at +71 pips.

I am glad to be back at work at last, and I am looking forward to (another) profitable week.
