Interesting to watch the moves play out in light of the whole Cyprus debacle.

I'm showing boxes on a couple of pairs, what about you guys?
This day light savings is for the birds, I have a couple of possibilities. I left a couple of positions open for the weekend and the Cyprus debacle cost me as the gap opens were counter to my positions. That happens, would I do things differently with hind sight? Doubtful.

Sat watching cable as always - couple of big news releases in an hour should make a break out one way or another.

the gap counted in my favour, set my Tp for 50pips on EJ but ended up raking like 250pips + . but on a second thought, it could have been against me. what have i learnt from this ? i think i might just have to close my all open trades by weekend. because even your stop loss does not guarantee that your account will be saved in events like this. Any better suggestion for me ?

250 pips is worth around 8k usd to me. I suggest don't change what you doing!!

Never hold over the weekend! I did it once, bought a heap of contracts just before the markets closed for a quick scalp, but didn't realise the hour time differenc e had kicked in. Anyway, comen Monday there was 100 pip gap and i didn't realise stops didn't count....... ( I had 8 contracts) big mistake... Noob mistake.

I think this was an easy day for SSBO. Nearly all pairs which broke out were running straight to there TP.

There are several ways to reduce it, change the colours or eliminate it altogether. Just read the relevant posts. All the info is there. This is a self help thread. Actually, if you read the thread you will also see screenshots of the info panel in multi-ple different configurations.

I think it was the hint of a solicitation that may have had the mod's remove them from the thread. In the process, I realized that I have been struggling with my trading journal, trying to figure out what to put in it. So I thought I would ask the thread and see what some of the components of other journals are so I can do a better job of tracking a trade. Open to ideas.

This has great potential. Take note everyone.

How about starting with what your journal looks like now, SP. Describe it in what ever detail... maybe post a pic or two. We'll consider it as the starter template and see where this goes.
