A lot to talk about today so i'll get to it. Three trades in total. One missed, one lost and one that I just closed for a small profit. Time of writing is 23:20.
I'll start with the missed one, this was a nice little set up but I unfortunately just missed it because I was lazy/late getting up this morning. I should have been up and if so I wouldn't have taken the trade I lost on, but such is life, I won't dwell!
It was a sell on EUR/CHF, charts below;
EUR/CHF 1hr
EUR/CHF 20min
The second trade I want to talk about was a sell on Swissy. Whilst I thought the set up was good I should have realised as Eddie and Cable were pushing down, Swissy was very unlikely to follow suit as it tends to move in the opposite direction. A bit silly on my behalf. Here are the charts anyway;
Trade 19 - USD/CHF (Swissy) - Sell @ 0.9319 - Closed @ 0.9360 = -41
Swissy 1hr
Swissy 20min
Finally we have the trade I just closed on Eddie. A high volume down bar with the next bar up. For this trade I actually took my confirmation from the 15min, bending the rules a little bit with regards to my strategy but the set up was still there none the less. At best this was up about 23pips of a 42pip target. I closed it for +6pips in the end. I'm pretty sure it'll rise over night but i'm not willing to risk it with the loss earlier. Three days left in the week so I can start fresh tomorrow.
Trade 20 - EUR/USD (Eddie) - Buy @ 1.3900 - Closed @ 1.3906 = +6
Eddie 1hr
Eddie 15min
That last trade I took today brings my total amount of trades to 20 for the year so far. This is week 10 so i'm averaging 2 a week. 12 wins, 6 losses and 2 break even. 60% win ratio.
-2.58% today.
On to tomorrow!
Cheers,
Liam

Catch ya later onsite... Ciaran (pcburn@iol.ie)

ReplyDeleteIf you'd like to meet up any time to discuss TradeGuider / Trading / VSA i'd be more than happy to. Kinsale to Clon ain't far at all.
If you're new to VSA and looking to get into it, there are a few musts;
1. Master the Markets by Tom Williams
2. Videos
3. Malcolm's thread. Pure gold.
4. Repeat!
I'm still on a learning curve but am currently trading live using VSA.
Keep in touch,
Liam
