Eur/Usd scalping inspired by Shakesfx

I am going to start a scalping journal today inspired by Shakesfx scalping journal which unfortunately has been highjacked by spammers, and people are starting to 'steal' his trades and post them elsewhere. It seems some people just cant appreciate what he has done for newbies like myself who are trying to work ut how to profit from forex.

Nevertheless we shall see how I get on. I shall scalp the Eur/Usd, my spread is 2 pips (Broker is IG Index, hopefully there will be no discussion on brokers, this is a trading journal!)

Same method as ShakesFx, bet 2 lots. Including the spread of 2 pips, Stop/Loss will be 15 pips (i.e. -13 from point of entry due to spread). Target Profit first lot is +10 (i.e. +12 from point of entry including spread), at which point stop loss on second lot is moved to Break/Even.

I shall be monitoring the 1 minute charts and tick charts.

Here goes Buy 1.2934

Forexfactory froze on me, tried to post this:

Price is stalling here so going to buy at 1.2958

Price stalled 5 minutes ago, sign that the sell-off from 1.2980 had stopped, will stick my neck out and say we may see another rise to 1.2980 then another fall

T/P on first lot from 1.2958 hit, move T/P on 2nd lot to B/E

Move T/P on 2nd lot to +10 i.e.1.2968

Price briefly hit 1.2978, can see the sell-off happening now but will leave my 2nd lot still open with the S/L at +10 on 1.2968 for the moment

S/L hit

Running total:

1st Lot: +10, -4, +10, +10 = +26
2nd lot: +18, -4, 0, +15, +10 = +39
Total so far +65

Sell 1.2975

T/P of +10 hit, move T/P of 2nd lot to B/E. Lets see if we breakthrough the 1.2955 area.
