It's 07.50 BST (GMT+1) in UK and I'm done for the day.
Yesterday I realised that I was getting bored and distracted during the day. Ended up 11 pips for the day and not too pleased with myself.
Decided to really focus today and also to follow Anne's example of going for 50 pips.
Good setups when I started at 07.00 BST.
I immediately made a mistake through my bleary eyes and opened a gbpusd trade instead of gbpjpy. So immediately closed for -5 pips.
Then had simultaneous long trades in gbpjpy, gbpusd, aususd.
Took 28, 25 and 8 pips respectively. Nett 56 pips in under an hour.
The last trade out was aususd and I was going to put a 25 trailing stop loss on it and leave it to run.
Then I realised that was just being greedy. I had made my target, why take the chance of missing it, just to try for more pips? Discipline is needed to trade!
Have a nice day all. I'll probably pop back online but I definitely won't be trading again today.
