I was checking the calender after my mentor pointed out how many important releases were due this week. It just so happened the German factory orders was released with a surprise to the upside. I immediately closed a short position at a small loss and took two long positions, a 20 pip scalp from the 15 minute and a longer term position using the 4H with a 120 pip target. I went to watch tv as It was late here in Oz. I woke up this morning still on the couch to both positions closed out as winners. My mentor checks the calender religiously before trading but I sometimes skip it, especially after a hard day at work. Never again - Always check the calender!!!
