Like a dagger to my already damaged heart :) :) :) Nice trade!!! You'll know why when you see my journal post.....

Anyway, I am pleased I'm taking the same entries as you though, Richard. I'll take that as a positive!

Well done!

A nice little +0.5% to start the day.

I thought about getting out at +1% which was at the level to the left but thought I would aim for TZ1.

Just took a trade that didnt feel right. I went against my better judgement and paid the price with a -0.2%.

I have closed my charts until NYO and taking a break.

Now that is better. +1.86%.

I had tp just above a support level. When price started to retrace I simply moved my sl down to a level I was happy with and it got tagged. I didn't want a nice profit been eroded too much as it is a Friday and for me taking a loss or letting a winner retrace too much plays with my emotions over the weekend.

Cheers Immy

This is where only having the one chart open for the pair comes into play for me. Looking at two great setups and trading them both properly is ouside of my capabilities so I concentrate on just the one. +1.86% will do me any day.


Cheers

Another quiet trading month for me as my work is very demanding at present and is taking a lot of my time and focus. My total trades for September has been 24 which resulted in +156pips (+17.40%).

Hope you all have a great weekend.
