    Out +$46 after comms, that's +$99.82 today, watch as it breaks lower.

    Profits are also getting smaller, but 12 trades and 4 losers, 1 loser being about $80 more than it should I guess.

    66% win rate, 71% friday so within spec! 1 more profit :)

    I'm trading at the wrong times is why most of my lack of profits, I watch and wake up in the AM trade in the slow going into US open, then I go for a walk as that's enough screen time, then I trade maybe the right time then skive the afternoon, this needs work.

    Method is looking nice and clean, it's mainly about jumping on the 7's direction and riding it, tad impatient on trade 1 maybe.

    24 backs up that better.

    Work 11:30, back for 3pm for US session all being well.

    Stalking GU downtrend, pulling back up, good odds it'll go to new lows!!

    Current short term = UP so stuck waiting for weakness.

    Missed 9 on DAX, just hesitated :(

    In 82.1 short!

    Out $36 reason for exit, double bottom and pizza about to burn LOL

    It was tracking GA but GA's gone flat.

    +$135.80, quick 20pip drop would of made my day.

    Zero runners today, is my main issue, all stalled and faked me out or turned, most turned to be fair.

    Ignore the stupid -$170 trade I messed up the risk control on, and that would be the $300 target.

    CLOSE!!

    It's turning up, my exit was GOOD :)

    This is definately how to make long term $$$'s out of the markets.

    Uber Risk controlling.
    Patience on the entry
    Playing the range
    Playing the direction
    Out first sign of trouble, don't hold anything going the wrong way, take profit / loss.

    Only $136, but earned ZERO from the business today, that would be 3hours of work + driving and the costs which come with, so 4 hours really.

    I want MORE profit, More trades, I'm greedy :)

    I can't believe I need $3400 Margin to trade GU or pretty much anything at $10 per pip, I think it was $850 before.

    Can't take 2nd position in ranged markets, where I get a few pips better price for a next to nothing SL setup :(

    Supposed to have been short term then back to normal today, looks like I'm stuck on 50:1, DAX is unchanged but news read like that'll change Friday :(
