Here we go...

Picked up +10 on a Gbp/usd short. Missed the long entry. So waiting for the next opportunity....no chasing here - as such could miss a big move.

Short eur/jpy. two entries on this. Trade went against me but the signal was still there so I added to the position. After 5 hours of waiting on the 30 minute chart, I closed the trade as the signal was getting diluted and I want the high probability trades.

-8 1st trade
+3 2nt trade Net -5.

The signal while still there probably will pay. I like to see some momentum in the market. I also opened this trade outside of normal hours....so this was somewhat expected.

Picked up +10 on eurjpy. It was against the trend so didn't want to hold for the regular 20.

I am posting a mid month update. Tomorrow I will be adding money to the account so don't want to skew the results. You can see a marginal increase over last month. - at least in the right direction

My deposit showed up today. So it can be easier to follow. Net gain for first part of the month was about 10%.

Two trades last night that took out my stops.
1. gbpjpy - I entered short and within 2 minutes it had spiked up 70 pips to take out my stop loss. After reviewing, I looked at 30 minute but didn't confirm on the 1 hour. It was still in consolidation. After not trading for a few days I was too eager to enter a trade. -65 pips

2. eurjpy - similar situation as above. -25 pips.

Disappointing considering they both reversed to yield some nice pips +200 and +100. I did not reenter on these and probably would not have held so long for those healthy pip gains.

I entered 2 trades.

Buy on Gbpjpy - already closed 1st half of position for +100
Buy on Eurjpy - already closed 1st half of position for +50

Rest has been set to breakeven. Both these trades were taken on the 1h chart.

I have closed out my 2nd eurjpy half at +35.

I continue to have 1/2 position in gbpjpy and continue to let it run with target at 232.03

I am all out. +60 on the 2nd half of gbpjpy.

Even though pips were more. I am back to where I started when adding money to the account couple days back. This is because I have cut my lot size in half. Reducing the overall risk and reducing anxiety of the trade in the process.

I went long on gbpjpy at 231.80. However two hours later with a spike down my stop was taken out. gbpjpy then went on to move up 150+ pips

Last night I took a short on gbpjpy and eurjpy. both immediately went against me for most of the day. I kept larger stops after yesterdays experience.

Closed out half of both trades for +50 and +50. The rest was set to break even which closed out the trades.

This one took over 17 hours to pay. I literally had to avoid looking at the charts to avoid closing them out early (and to cut losses).

Glad I kept to the plan on this one.

Here is the month end for September. Before the funds addition account had a 10% increase. After addition, ended with another 2.5% for a total equity increase of 12.5% for the month.

Happy Halloween.

Here are my results for October. Account increased by 9%. I only traded 2 days this month on the 2nd and the 4th. Not bad for 2 days of trading.

Been busy with other things hope to get more trading in soon.

Wish you all the best and many pips.
