Hi all,
Thought I would make a record of all my trades and start a journal (all the experts say I should so I guess I better!!!)
To start with, the following trades were placed yesterday (1st Oct)
So that you know I'm not simply cheating by looking back at yesterday and looking for a trade, you can find the exact same trade in the Forex Factory Forum.
You will see the time of the post coincides with the 1st trade and the time of editing the post coincides with the second trade.
A few details first:
All trades are on a live account with EFX.
Trades results do not include pip spreads, commission or buy/sell premium rollover rates (if any)
Amounts used are 50,000 for high risk trades (against the trend) and 100,000 for low risk/high probability trades.
<----Sorry this was an error. This was the formula written down when I was 1st starting to trade which has since been amended due to money management. All trades now are a standard 100,000 unless trading 2 pairs simultaneously. Occaissionally 1 standard lot will be used even if trading 2 pairs if I believe a trade will be a homerun. Sorry for the confusion but only just noticed it----->
Trades are a mixture of day and position trades.
Occasionally more lots will be added to trades when the situation warrants it and will be indicated as such.
Ok, on with the show!
1st trade:
1st October 2007, 1am EST
Short 50,000 EUR/USD @ 1.4261
S/L: 1.4284
Trade Closed on 2nd Oct 4:20am EST

S/L: 2.0504
