Re: Grants Journal
Hi everyone,
Was off today so had a full day trading…
So:
1. 0
2. +10
3. -5
4. -6
5. -6
6. 0
7. +10
8. +10
9. +21
Total : +34 (2.6%)
Patience , Discipline and my temper were tested fully today after I made the cock ups of all cock ups on trades 1 and 7…
Trade 1 i missed agood exit point at the weekly open and 1h aims as i got greedy...
As for trade 7..... Was not happy after 3 rents on the spin and then I basically hit close instead of modify on my multi terminal on a trade that made 40+ pips. I managed +10. The air in the skype call turned blue (apologies to those who had to listen) as I let off some steam on my cock up….
The last trade was out of normal hours but it was the aftermath of FOMC
Trade records including pics are posted below.
Cheers
Grant

Re: Grants Journal
Very nice Grant. Perhaps a pic or 2 of your trades to help settle the "picture" we trade. I think the newbies would love to see that

Re: Grants Journal
Well Done Grant. This is amazing performance as a part timer. You truly are proving that this strategy is extremely profitable even if you trade it a couple of hours a day at most.
Have a great weekend and once again thank you for sharing your trades. Wonderful.
