Nice results...

Got 25 pips today, according to the chart. 


There was another trade to have, but I was away watching the Milan - Barca game at a local pub. That was nice too. Perhaps not 45 pips nice, but still nice. 

When the first trade reached about 25 pips,
a signal that the trend might reverse appeared. 
A few minutes later a signal about it appeared. 
I was away by then, though...

Tuesday

First I had a trade that turned back and even though it hit 20 pips, it reversed and got caught in my break even stop loss I had installed. 


The second trade would cause no problem and perhaps even more pips. 


The reason I didn't take close on the first 20 pips is that I thought it'd drop further, and even if it did, it was a little later.

A steady day

Today was a bit patchy. (See last monday)


But on the 15 minute time frame the signal was easy to see.


22 pips for me today. Cool kids would have gotten more. 

22 easy ones

Friday

It is with mixed emotions I welcome the Friday. 


Being an 'instant gratification'-trade, as someone called us on short time frames, we require our fixes. Often...


And nothing will happen until monday. 


Well, today I had one winning bet of 22 pips. There was another of about 20+ pips later on, but I didn't take that. 

Once again S&P500 changed direction during the
evening/afternoon. Third or fourth day in a row.
Could take profit from it... again.

Patchy

It's been a few weird days. Not many news, nothing really happening. 
That isn't all bad, since the market doesen't move in weird ways, but it doesn't really move at all.


Had a trade today that took a long time. 
Looked it up at the 15 minute time frame, since 5 minutes seems a bit too noisy these days. 

22 pips. Just because I was bored with it.
The cool kids would have gotten more. 
There was another trade right
after my trade that I didn't take. 
It was another 40 pips...

Sometimes...

... the best trades are the ones you don't make.

There wasn't much action today. I guess it goes hand in hand with it not being many news today and therefor not much trending.

Ah, well... another day tomorrow.

Interesting article

It is amazing that it has been debated if trading can be taught to us, 'the common men'. 


Nick Fuller, Price trader extraordinaire, has written a short article about it


(Yes, he sells a lot of stuff on his home page, and I haven't tried any of them... I read the free stuff there. It is good enough for me... I don't do much price action.)

14 and 15

Two good days for trading. (14 march and 15 march, of course.) 
At least with this evening system. 


Two screenshots today. 

At lest 60 pips would have been had this evening.


Fewer pips today, but a very good signal. 
25-30 at the most.

Darn

Well, here you will see a huge upswing. 


I had been in an 'almost' 20 pips trade just before this, and left for a walk with my dog. 
I didn't take this trade, but had I been inside, I would have. :) 


Dang, she's a beauty. 100+ pips for the cool kids.

12th of march

I didn't trade today. But if I would have, it would have looked like this.

6th of march

From what I can see, there were three trades this evening. 
I only caught the last one, which was a winner. 
The other two, a winner and a loser, was contradictory, so I ignored them. (Yes, I'm a coward. Go for the trade that follows the trend, I guess.) 

There they are... 


20 pips achieved.

Here we march...

Don't know what I was doing this thursday, but can't remember trading. :) 


As for Friday, it shows the importance of looking at various charts. 
My IG-chart didn't show a trade, but my GKFX-chart did. 


I didn't trade, but there would have been at least 20 pips to be had.



February Result

Monthly update:


183 pips achieved during the month. Not a bad result, given that I wasn't able to trade every evening I wanted to. 


Onwards and upwards!

Weird day and good link

In just a few hours Gold dropped 500+ pips today. Why? Some chairman in the US spoke and the world shook. 
After a shock like that it is no point in going in to a trade since the market might or might not try to regain what it missed. It could be erratic. Too much like gambling. 
So I stayed out... (except for a small sin early on. Not worth mentioning. OK. -17 pips at half normal size.) 


So, the good link? www.forexfactory.com is full with what you want to know. 


Here is a picture of today:
