My Cable Trades

  • #1
  • First Post: Dec 5, 2006 7:40am Dec 5, 2006 7:40am
I am going to start a journal of my cable trades. I don't have a paticular system that I use. I mostly trade off of price action and S/R zones. I am also always aware of upcoming news. I have had good results over the last few months trading this way and just want a way to keep track of my trades.

I am currently long GBP/USD @ 1.9740 with a stop at 1.9720. I will take 50% off @ 1.9790 and will let the rest ride and just move my stop when i see higher support.

you hit your s/l and ended with a loss
Trade what you see, not what you think.

That trade was allready open and price hit 1.9790 while typing so 50% closed for +50 and then price went back down to stop the rest for -20

The avg for that trade was for +50 and -20 = +30

I am shorting the cable here at 1.9728 with Sl @ 1.9785

Will take 50% off at 1.9678 and leave target open on rest.
