Anatomy of a trade

Well, not really an anatomy, but more a short instruction on how to get more than 20 pips per trade. 

Moving the stop loss down, following the trend, 

closing in as much as possible.

Anatomy of another trade - part 1

Here is a trade that is not complete yet.(EDIT: It is now.) 
We'll see how it goes. 
Gold - we have locked in ZERO pips so far. 

20 minutes later... 

And we're done...

Anatomy of another trade...

... or the win that I lost. 


Sometimes we have ideas that the market will move more than just our 'basic' win.

Another Anatomy

Have never traded GBP/JPY before, but it is said to work with the TrendFX. 
It probably does, but not this time. 


Also, just when I placed the trade, I noticed the HUGE spread. 6 pips on one of these slow ones? That is shitty, IG. Well, I won't trade on GBP/JPY on IG again... 


Here is the loss for now:

-19 pips, -1520 SEK

Start: 25 000 SEK

BR Now: 69 043 SEK

Anatomy of a trade

I had an oil trade today. (Yes, the office was slow, and since I locked in my profits, I actually had a trade running while I was away on lunch. Scary.) 


Note the lines on the chart. They are my 'locks' for the trade. 
The trade could have been more, had I closed, but who can know? 
I'm happy with what I got. 

92 pips, 7 360 SEK

Start: 25 000 SEK
BR Now: 65 283 SEK
