My little phone trading and recording blog

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/simthegreat

^ Display accounts which I use as a Master acc.. Thought I'd start one of these and see if I can keep updating this and fxbook for the year! Currently getting used to managing a fund simply from my phone which feels cool - aim is also to be able to lift and play ball more!

So, just want to show a living can be made from FX to all the BS traders, while actually living! I've worked in the city and it's a fricking pain, don't want to waste my youth away like that, hence this thread will act as my blog enabling me to note down some triumphs and tragedies

My style is veery discretionary so I doubt I'll go into preacher mode at all, but it is essentially simple PA, with a gauge of direction being the significant factor. This is gained from scanning across a few instruments (MTF on all of em)

Aiming for all 12 month's in the green, Boooom!

Nabbed a little 0.5% scalp .. momentum surprisingly strong given all the darkness about Eurozone floooding BBC news

Typical frustration! Entered in a late evening trade with what looked like a good 2:1. Risked 1percent, held through +1%, to 0%, to +1.2% then a BE stop out. Still a win in my eyes but aint no more cheese in me pocket! All acting continously messy to me and I'm assuming we'll have some form of breakout soon with obvious bias to the downside. Times like now, however, are when some random fundies are announced and offer a hench relief rally! Well we'll see. Want 5+% in the latter half of the month

Hey, hey, hey! I spied with my little eye your new journal. I'm good at annoying people in their journals

All the best Sim.

I hope you will get 5+% in the latter half of the month. Best of luck.

Lool! Well hopefully you can gimme some patience too Lost 1.2% risking early entry today, will make it back once it's set up properly! Have you got out of your lazy phase yet

Thank you sir

Regarding the EURUSD we're moving into new territory, breaking the previous weekly high, so things could be happening quite soon! North or South let's stay flexible and make money

No doubt you will make it back.

Still in lazy phase (trading wise). Using my energy to sort other stuff. I've been taking my iron pills though. Just waiting for them to kick in ... lol

Trash that market for me will ya.

Cheers Patience! Waiting on your Iron pills to kick in hahah do they even kick in?? Are you sure you don't want different types of pills??

Made it all back and some more this morning, 5 winners in a row so far.

Gotta actually work this week .. was so lazy last week then went on a bender the whole weekend from Thursday

Not an amazing day but still good profit booked. Got a 1:2 in London and failed hard at closing a 1:1 in US. Nonetheless 1% or so up and exactly 5 trading days to go for another few

Signing out now my friend Chrissie making a carbonara feast!

Whatchu got? lol

Carbonara feast aye ..... mmmmmmm. One of my favourite Italian dishes. All that cream. You should down a plate of that before you go on one of your benders.

Sorry Patience totally forgot about FF!


You know me too well!! Lool

Slow start to this week as EU needs to break it's range before I can pick a bias, and the snow and cold weather has not helped me lift any new PRs in my freezing garage!

Oh, oh, oh ..... tell me about it. Backyard is blanketed in snow again.

Do you have an electric blanket? If not, get one. They are heaven sent. Put it on your bed and switch it on to 3. Then get your laptop and hop in bed. Couple of trades, little nap, couple of trades, little nap. Best piece of trading advice I can give you ... lol

Oh, yeah, order your groceries online and have them delivered. Second best piece of trading advice I can give you.

Then book a holiday to a warmer climate or, better still, move there.

Good luck with crazy Friday.

Hahah Patience you are one crazy lass! Is that a way of binge trading or something? Loool! Thanks for the tune You do make me happy! Though I'm pretty sure if I did that I'd just end up laying in till lunchtime, it happens way too easily!

Very empty week for me, and I monitored all the London hours for once. No trades at all, and one below reasonable looking trade which I didn't take and set the pace for the whole week. Someone more adept will be able to explain the fundamental reasons why, as I'm pure technical, but the congestion on the hourly and h4 was somewhat predictable within my rules.

hahahaha ... binge trading? Oh, my lawd, no! I only do that when I’m sitting at the pokie machines in the Nevada Desert.

I have another idea to keep you warm. Get a hamster. Then leave the lid of it’s cage (like my daughter regularly does) so that it can escape and when it’s finally made it to the kitchen (from upstairs) you suddenly realise that it’s been rampaging around the house for a few hours pooping and chewing carpet. I spent nigh on 2 hours trying to catch that tricky little bastard the other day. I was very warm after that.

As for fundamentals, mmmmm, we live in tricky times. I don’t spend anywhere near enough time reading stuff these days but my uneducated view is that we have the Central Banks flashing their cash vs. what is really happening fundamentally and I’m not sure what the big boys are thinking because there aren’t many places to find yield (with interest rates so low nearly everywhere). I don’t know if they are gonna pump the indices any more than they have but the indices have had such a good run since the lows last October that they are due a correction. How much of a correction is the question (as usual). I’m staying away from E/U though. Far too messy for me. If the fear factor continues into next week, sell E/U.

Good luck this week. It’s school holidays (again) so I won’t be trading much.

Lmao! You have quite some time on your hands lady! 2 hours chasing a lil hamster you know! Lool

Yeah tell me about the CBs lol. Our bank putting 50bil into quantitative easing on Thurs, like wtf! Are we ever gonna see some decent recovery or what

Literally went back to sleep at London open in time for NY. Good job too, I ain't making no money in a 30pip range

Did you go on another bender this weekend young man? It seems you are catching my nap disease.

I am liking that new equity curve. I didn't realise Tadawul provided swap free accounts. And leverage of 1:500 too! O-M-F-G. I can trade like a bloke then. Actually, that's just a joke ... hahahaha. At least you don't have to deposit so much money with them for leverage purposes so I have no problem with 1:500 really. It's the other leverage that you have to worry about.

Woke up to a buy on EURUSD. 0.5% risk @ 1.3144. SL 1.3117

Too cold for a bender I thought! Although three of us nearly ventured out to hit up brick lane about 3 minutes to midnight,, luckily I just watched TV

What other leverage :o
