Trades for 7-17-09, and weekly total

For the week I am +4.28%

I took the day off today, and have my “how I trade” video done. The following 2 links are the video, the reason it’s in 2 videos is because youtube caps the time at 10 minutes.

Today I took the day off, and worked on my trading video more. It’s pretty much done, and should be in tomorrow’s post.

Trades for 7-14-09

Today I did -1.68% during London hours, +.56% in abnormal hours, and +1.63% during normal hours. I decided to start trading full size (slightly more than double of what I was trading yesterday) today and boy did I pick the wrong day. At the worst point today I was about -10%, but I managed to squeak out a gain by the end of the day. My mistake was I should have taken the rest of London hours and abnormal hours off after I made my 1st trade. Things were super choppy, and I tried to play it which almost burned me. I need to trust myself in the mornings when I feel like the chart is/going to be flat instead of listening to the voice that says “but I need to make some money today” or “I don’t want to miss this move”. I’m almost there, I just needed one more knock on the head to remind me :).

Oh, and even though I traded full account size today I decided to keep posting my percentages the same. The reason I did this is because I don’t think I’ll be trading full size tomorrow or the rest of this week. However, I am considering it so I’ll let you know if I trade full size in the day’s post. The reason I’m still not willing to go full size quite yet is because I told myself to go a week before going full size and it’s only been 1 day (yesterday).

Trades for 7-13-09, and some fishing photos

Today I did +.97% during London hours, no trades in abnormal hours, and +.26% during normal hours. For this week I plan on trading double size so all the percentages (including today’s) will be based off that and not my original level. I also got to recording my “how I trade video” this weekend and now I have to edit it some and then render it, so expect it in Friday’s post.

I also went fishing yesterday, and caught a bunch of fish though most were very small. I did manage to keep 3 “eaters” but they were still small.
