These are my 14,7 pips and I am probably done for the day. I lost 5 pips earlier because my daguher thought it would be fun to press some keys (thank God I am using micro lots as default size).

Entered a pending order after the face, the arrow and the dot and exited at the second marron bar. I was afraid to hold for longer, as the red news was just around the corner.

Happy trading all.

Good morning all.

Just closed this trade as it hit TP at 20 pips. Entered long at 5min low +3pips. I set the SL to BE+10 when the red bar turned to dark red, as I wanted to wait for the German unpemployment having secured some profit. I completely forgot that the EA sets TP at 20 pips, which was hit a few seconds later. As I am typing, price moved 20pips down

In any case, 20 pips is fine. Enjoy yourself everyone.

Well done Spyros!!! :-bd

Thanks Herbert.

There were at least 40 more pips there, but it was a bit of gamble as nobody knew for sure that the German news would be. No need to be greedy though.

I am quite happy and probably done for the day. All the best to those still inside the arena.

This is the winning trade of the day. I took three more which led me to -1pip:
short at 8.15 GMT for
long 10.47 GMT
long 11.01 GMT.

This one I entered at 1.26198 and exited at 1.26021 (TZ line) for 16 pips. A really nice way to start the week, not to mention the beginning of life in my 40s (born on the 1st of July 1972).





Happy trading all. Best of luck to all of you.

Happy birthday for yesterday Spyros.

I took exactly the same trade as you but you made far more pips than my 3.

Thanks a lot for the wishes.

My first two trades cost me about 10 pips in total. The third one was good for 13 pips, but I exited at +9 leaving me trailing by 1 pip.

The last one put me over the top, as I was hoping for a move stronger that what I had seen thus far. I was lucky, so +15 pips for the day. There was another 10pip short about 40 mins ago but I missed it.

I consider myself very fortunatt to have joined your community. All the best to everyone.

Hi all,

Three trades for me today:

Long at 8.49 price 1.26065. Closed at 1.26037 for about -4 pips
Short at 12.19 price 1.25848. Closed at 1.25872 for about -3 pips
Short at 14.16 (based on 5mins). Had my TP at 10 pips, so I managed to come out with roughly 2 pips today.

Looking back, I probably should have passed on the first long, but never mind now. Done for today as we may be heading for the beach later on.

Best of luck to all of you.

This is the first trade of this morning. Missed the fun yesterday, but a walk by the sea was a very good idea.

Anyway, I moved SL to BE+5 and this was my gain, as the trade turned.

Happy trading all. I hope I will come back with more "green" trades.
