Hope this is the right section because this thread is related to trading.
It was eid and the biggest celebration for muslims but the market was open.
I decided not to trade during this time. So i closed my trades on early and decided not to trade this week. I kept my eyes on the chart regularly.
Today when i opened the terminal for certain reason i am having regret for not trading (this is unusual of me). I miss many opportunities because of sleeping and don't regret missing them because more are on the way.
The reason for this is (all are short signals):
Currency Pair: EUR/USD
Opportunity date: 30.08.2011
Entry Price: 1.4417
Price Today: 1.421x
Currency Pair: EUR/JPY
Opportunity date: 30.08.2011
Entry Price: 110.80
Price Today: 109.2x
Currency Pair: EUR/CHF
Opportunity date: 31.08.2011
Entry Price: 1.1585
Price Today: 1.1192
Currency Pair: EUR/CAD
Opportunity date: 29.08.2011
Entry Price: 1.4200
Price Today: 1.39xx
Above are the trades i did not enter intentionally.
Currency Pair: EUR/AUD
Opportunity date: 25.08.2011
Entry Price: 1.3786
Price Today: 1.33xx
Note: I closed this trade early @ 1.3523.
As you can see there were really very good trading opportunities i have missed during the holiday. My TP is not fixed and the minimum i could have got from these trades are at least 150 pips from each trade except EJ trade.
I am a trader who is after # of pips rather then $$$. Also i am constantly training my emotions to fit in the market. But this time seeing almost 800 pips getting out of my hand made me feel bad. Again I usually don't get depressed because of missing opportunities.
Just wanted to blurt out my frustration. You can laugh at me if you want or share similar experience during holiday.
Thanks for your time.
