As predicted NFP gave me a kick where it hurts (on both live and TE accounts). I am planning from hence forth to trade with either half risk or not all during NFP weeks. I find TA is unpredictable and with eom low liquidity the market can be erratic. I also find myself getting frustrated and start placing silly trades like I did Friday.
Today's GU TE trade went up in flames with very bad data out of GB... It's the way cookie crumbles.
From here (this week) I am expecting to be able to put together a 3+ net trade run or two. But just to recap the TE results they are as follows:
8 wins
11 looses
5 B.E. (not a full net trade)
1* +3 net trade run
7 withdrawals from the "Principle"
I think it is interesting that despite not very good results the TE account is still up 40%. Will see what can happen if I get a few of these trades running.
GL all,
Matt.
Ps. My personal life has taken a bit of a hit so I possibly wont be able to post as much (here and also in my journal).
