Yeah I know but must follow my rules. Normally the best days are the ones like today (check GU since London open LOL).
Anyways, I just walked into work to be informed they have given me a day off holiday today LOL
Kind Regards

OK just got stopped out at 1.47877.
Hey thats less than 3 pips from my long entry I lost 100 pips on yesterday - ain't life just great?
Meanwhile if I'd taken the same trade on GU instead of EU I'd be up nearly 8% now.
I give up - well until later tonight anyhow.

if ur stop loss was hit ... but the trade eventually went in the initial direction ...
then the whole trade plan was not for that precise trading situation ...
and trust me ...
yesterday's and today's trading situations EVERYWHERE were simply out of the norm.

Yes you are right of course 
The annoying thing is that the London open method thrives on days like these and it hurts to miss out after such a lousy run.
It's not really an issue - it's only a day in thousands of days to come and some of those everything will go my way.
Even when I'm off work for the day I really must get out of the habit of looking at the charts during the day. Both methods are essentially set & forget for the London session at least so me looking at the charts ain't gonna change anything.
Hope things are going well with you
Kind Regards

Will post again the next winner I get from this system - should be back early 2010 LOL
The system made over 100% Jan to May this year backtesting - it cannot be incorrect as the rules are so rigid. Live trading I'm up 4% since June
I've now been forced to reduce my hours again at work so I need 10%+ a month from this - as if.
Oh yeah, almost forgot - James' lung collapsed again on Friday
So, life is just fantastic at the moment - see you all in 2010

Then I saw the part about James (my eldest son's name as well) so changed my mind.
Take care and our thoughts are with you.

You have more years than I have to make your fortune at this. So, go do what's right and put this shite out of your head - family comes first.

Hahaha,
You never fail to make me laugh you old bugger
Yup, I'll be over it in an hour or two and the usual calm will have been restored.
Good trading to you my friend

It was ever thus. At the end of the day there are more important things in life than FX, it just seems that fate throws us a curve ball just when we think we have it cracked.
