Trade Results Wednesday 14th.
Trade 1, 12.43, Cable, -8.
Trade 2, 1.28, Euro, -9.
Trade 3, 2.43, Cable, -13.
Trade 4, 4.53, Cable -3.
Net Result, -33.
Not the best of days, once again I managed to successfully avoid two perfect setups in the morning session which would have definitely been taken and yielded 50-70 pips. I have an uncanny knack of missing the winners and grabbing all the losers! I don't believe anything was wrong with the trades I took, there all looked good, just didn't pan out.

Re: AVH Trading Journal
Thursday 15th's Trade results.
Trade 1, 9.20, Euro, -8.
Trade 2, 12.11, Euro, -5.
Trade 3, 1.09, Euro, -7.
Trade 4, 4.51, Euro, -10.
Trade 5, 5.04 Euro, -6.
Net result for day is -36.
Another really tough day. In the morning there were 3 trades, 2 were winners producing +55 and one was a 2 pip loser. Due to work and travel commitments I only managed to latch on to 1 of these trades, no prizes for guessing which one. However to compound my problems my interent went down whilst in the trade and it came right back on line as my stop was taken out for a -8. You couldn't make it up.
Thereafter everything was a loser, decent setups but just no joy. What is so incredibly frustrating is that my ability to miss the trades that would compensate for the losers is flawless. I've had a really crap week and yet it could have been really very good. I just cannot trade all day at the moment but you would have to think that the law of averages would allow some more positive trades to come my way. Here's hoping there is something decent tomorrow afternoon to salvage the week. They do say you learn more from your losers than your winners, so I'm learning a lot this week. lol.
