WILD NIGHT! 1 Win, 1 Loss. I'll take it.

The Win... AUD/USD.
First 40 units were taken off @ 45 pips, for a $0.18 win. The remaining 450 units were closed for 80 pips profit... A $3.63 win. Total of the wins...$3.81.

The Loss... EUR/GBP. Apparently this currency pair went crazy last night... And not in the way I need it go crazy. In any event... A 26 pip loss on this trade... $-2.19.

All in all... A good night. I'll take it.

Current balance... $147.7495.

Now I wait for the next trade.

Morning everyone... Still waiting for the next trade. Sitting on the sidelines can be sooooooo boring. Keep telling myself sometimes the best trade is the trade you didn't take.

So, since no trade on the plate right now, anyone watching the summer games right now? I've been having a blast with it. I'll be honest though... The olympics are just a teaser to get me though until football starts up.

Well... guess I'll be checking back in at 11am to see if any new signals come up.
