What a day (again)

These are the last trades for today. One more exceptional day is over, volatility and madness and fear, a sign of the new difficult period we enter globally.

269 pips won today, in "just" 53 trades (98 yesterday), 2,5 hours of trading. 31 winners and 22 losers. Average winner was 12,3 pips and av. loser 5,1 pips. Biggest winner 53,9 pips and biggest loser -12,8. Today I won only 15% more pips than yesterday but I earned 40% more money, with the same lot size, just by cutting the number of trades by half.

I stopped trading after this, to go swimming with the family, in order to preserve the gains and myself from the fatal trading addiction...

Post-NFP (2)

My method is vulnerable when price makes a step back for every little move it makes, just to collect the tight stops like mine. That is why I had mediocre results on the left half of this chart and other small losses elsewhere. When the move speeds up... the sky is the limit.

Post-NFP (1)

Volatility is there to stay, for a while (?), not related with NFP news. The NFP announcement just pushed the button. I entered as soon as the spread narrowed enough after the news and when a direction was profiling.

Just before the opening

Traded this just before the London opening (10:00 my time) and then stayed out to avoid the usual range before the NFP announcement.

A day to remember (2)

Wild evening, as the Dow plummeted  suddenly by 900 points.

A day to remember (1)

Another exceptional day - the euro under heavy speculation. Instability and risk aversion are everywhere, nobody knows when this new crisis ends.

232 pips won today, in 98 (!) trades, although I traded 3-4 hours only and missed many "free falls". 54 winners and 44 losers. Average winner is 8,1 pips, av. loser is 4,7 p. 60 pips given back as commissions cost.

Patience

With a little patience, a second leg down was created and gave the final pips.

A long, exceptional day is over, with many pips and many trades.

Insisting

Trying to force price to continue down while a correction was there.

High volatility

A high volatility day (because of euro collapse). A relatively easy setup, just follow the price.

A lot of trades

i need to trade less.
