    Out +2 better than a loss, finger was over the button at +7 waited to long hoping for more :(


    News 11mins, +11 on the day!!

    back to +7 then, pre news jitters!


    I hate using trend method, it's the times it doesn't work and I seem to be trading it at the wrong time so yeah.

    Broke higher :( YM broke higher to!

    Another +6 on a DAX long and I yet again SUCK at holding on long enough, +33 on the day so it works playing it safe but I'd love a nice 50pip mover and with trend is where I should hold longer!

    Just nip the SL upto previous low and patience.

    Lost 14pips before calling a top doh!!

    Then a BE trade wussing it

    Then a 2 pos trade +12 and +17

    Over all in that mess came out +3, +36 on the day WALK AWAY!!

    Missed some good moves, chatting on Facebook then new magnetic charger arrives and Z Ultra became a pretty screen only, lost data connection 3g and Wifi had to reset it but all fixed and new charger lead destroyed LOL

    Nice slow downtrend this afternoon.


    IF I was holding longer I'd be a RICH man already, but starting to take trades with the trend, even if none are really working out as planned so far, 1 more mental block always erased, next LOL

    Trades with trend, hold LONGER!!

    BAD timing on that phone call, turned a +11 into -14 while trying to get rid of the call, that's more money than the client pays me per year lost, $150+ ouch!!

    Mixed feeling on the volatility, yes you can make a lot of money real fast, but before I could make small and often with next to zero risk, method was built during volatility then adapted to handle slow so all fine.

    DAX is the best and cheapest spread game in town isn't it, up nearly 50% in 2months part time trading pretty much just DAX!! :)

    Had a mad day

    +9
    +2
    +4
    +10
    +6
    -14
    -9
    +12
    +17
    0

    Stop by any time dude!
