Forex Trading 10/12/09

What a crap day so far. 40 pips down GBP/USD has been a nightmare. It could have been worse had I not been up on one trade, poor old Kofi is down pips too.

After my losses this morning I have been looking at another indicator (Stochastic) as many of you will know this is more of a true indicator as it is leading where most of the other indicators that are used (MACD for instance) are lagging indicators.

Had I used the stochastic indicator earlier today, I may not have incurred the losses that I did. As many of you know this indicator shows oversold and overbought levels. Again had I used this indicator on my earlier trades the one trade that I did win, I would have got out with the maximum available pips (22).

Do you really want to see the charts...? Oh go on then rub it in.


After this I did not trade for the rest of the day. I was watching some very nice trending and I predicted 2 further trades. One long for 15 pips and the other for 30.

As I was not around for either of these trades I did not enter

Predicted trade 1 was long at 16290 – 16305, this trade started at 09:35 and would have been finished at 10:05.
Predicted trade 2 was short at 16270 – 16240, this trade started at 15:00 and would have been finished at 15:10.

I have shut down my trading station for the evening and am off to learn Fibonacci Retracements.

To your Trading Success.
