I've been back on Irish soil since the 24th October so this post has been a long time coming. Not quite the six month trip I had intended on undertaking but I managed to hit the four month mark. Simple fact is I ran out of money.

The trip was, of course, outstanding! When I moved my flights back home, I thought I was ready to come home. Lots of stuff happened out there, filling both sides of the emotional spectrum and I thought I'd had my fill.

I was so wrong.

I don't know how much i'll be around these parts at the moment, i've only recently moved into a new place and got set up with internet access. This, coupled with not really being in a blogging mood will probably see sporadic updates at best.

I was going to say it's good to be back, but I don't think it is, half of me is still out there!

It's finally here! Tomorrow morning i'm off travelling to South East Asia with two good friends for six and a bit months!

For anyone that's interested, we've set up a blog for the trip that you can find here.

Hard to believe it has come around so quickly but i'm relishing the trip as well as a break from trading. I'll be back with a vengeance in January 2014. I've a lot of ideas and development plans for my trading that I want to implement upon my return. But that's all going on the back burner for now.

I wish everyone safe and profitable trading for the remainder of the year and i'll speak to you all soon!

Cheers,

Liam

So i'm finished for the year and here are the results on a per trade, per week and per month basis.

All this works out to me being down 1.33% for the year. Considerably better than last year anyway. To be honest i'm pretty happy with how things are going. With a little more focus and without a 6 month trip to be planning for I reckon i'm pretty much there. Have to think about how i'm going to approach my trading when I get back but i'll have a lot of time whilst i'm away on a beach to put some thought into all that!

Cheers,

Liam

Tried a NZD/USD long yesterday. A triple top entry which was going ok until FOMC hit and made a right mess of it. Stopped out within a few minutes of the announcement. Looking at the charts again with fresh eyes, it makes sense where the high was printed for the day.

Took a EUR/USD trade on Monday that I held overnight and into Tuesday. A triple top buy signal with support forming at the high of a high volume zone (green).
