No trading again last week

I am rather busy at the moment so trading is taking a back seat for the next couple of weeks.  I am watching the EURJPY on a longer-term view to see if it can break and hold support around 107-109 or if it will bounce back to 110+.

No trading this week

I have had a busy week so have not had time to trade this week.  Hopefully back to it soon.

August 4: +$21 (+10.2 pips)

Back on the saddle today after some time off.  Just a couple of trades as I am not really focused on trading at the moment.


+2.6
+3.0
+4.6

July 28: -$253

Need I say more.

July 27: +$10 (+5.2 pips)

Just two 20k trades tonight, trying to take it easy :-)


+1.2 pips
+4.0 pips

July 26: +$32 (+15.9 pips)

Much better today.  I am trying hard to focus on preserving capital rather than trying to gun for big wins, something I should have done on Friday.


20k trades:


+3.6 pips
+8.8 pips
-2.5 pips
-3.0 pips
+5.8 pips
+2.7 pips

July 23: -$164 (-67.7 pips)

Well here is the write up from Friday, as you can see a real disaster.  Bad discipline, unwarranted trades....just a mess.


I have decided to carry on short term trading for the near future, but with strict limits.  Of course, it is up to me to adhere to the limits, something at this point I do not know if I can do.


-13.7
+7.0
+4.9
-29.6
-11.4
-4.3
+10.7
-31.6


-67.7 pips

July 23: End of the line?

Tonight was a sign of my recent trading.  Despite a lovely 100+ pip move, I managed to lose big time.  I am starting to come to the thinking that short term trading is not for me.  


My thoughts at this point are to stick to non day trading, something I seem much better at.


I will ponder over the weekend.

July 22: +$3 (+1.7 pips)

My mind was elsewhere tonight and after missing a few trades I decided to stop early rather than cause any damage.


So just one 20k trade for +1.7 pips.

July 21: +$20 (+9.9 pips)

Couple of nice 20k trades today but missed taking decent profits from a good 100 pip move.  

+4.5 pips

+3.7 pips

+1.7 pips

+9.9 pips
