Quiet again today, had an order in for a sell on Loony that didn't trigger. Just as well really because it moved through what would have been my stop. 

Not much else to report really!

On to tomorrow,

Pretty quiet day today, Monday in general. Thought there may be a bit of reaction to the NFP announcement from Friday but it seems as though there wasn't. Quiet week on the news event front as well, with 4 of the 8 announcements based in New Zealand / Australia. Whilst they're high importance, they don't seem to generate the volume I look for to set up a potential trade. Seeing as I don't have much else to talk about, here's the important news events for the week.

Up until 1pm today I had a trade running from last night so you can read about that in yesterday's blog. Apart from that, there isn't much else to report really. I would have looked to take a trade after the announcement but it was getting late in the day so decided to leave it. 

Will be starting a fresh next week. Slight profit for the week, better than nothing!

17:33 - I was working this morning from 10:30 to 5 and the internet wasn't working all day so unfortunately I wasn't able to look at the charts. Looks as though I may have missed a short opportunity on Cable that fits my strategy and there seems to be quite a bit of volume around. Haven't had a proper look yet though.

19:00 - Trade 4 - USD/CHF (Swissy) Buy @ 0.9923 - Closed @ 0.9925 = +2


Friday 13:44 - I opened this trade around 7pm last night with an u-high volume down bar on the hourly chart. There was a no supply on the 20min so i set my order. I left it to run over night and it got to +27 at the most. I woke up in the morning to see it had dropped off a bit, after watching it flutter around my entry price I eventually closed it because of an upcoming US NFP announcement. The announcement just sent it straight through where my stop was. I'll post pictures at the market close.

It was a quiet enough day today, i placed an order on EUR/USD this morning which was triggered but decided to get out of that trade after seeing a formation on the 20min chart that I didn't like. Turns out I was right to get out of the trade as it would have hit my stop. I closed it with 2pips profit. But i'm just going to right it off.

Apart from that, not a great deal to report, a few announcements tomorrow so there should be a bit of volume around at those times.

Cheers,
