Forex and Oil Trading
Good Morning Traders,
The Following Trading Signals are a Analysis of GBP/USD & EUR/USD
Rather neutral news from Europe has been the reason that EUR/USD did not leave its sideways range. There was an interesting short trade in USD/CAD in the afternoon where 29 pips were on offer due to good news of the Canadian Gross Domestic Product.

After the early morning movement I will be expecting more volatility in the afternoon today.

Early Cable losses and now appears to be parked in a sideways range.
Long @ 1.4555
Take-Profit @ 1.4595-1.4605
Stop-Loss @ 1.4520
Short @ 1.4450
Take-Profit @ 1.4385-65
Stop-Loss @ 1.4490

TRADING TIP OF THE DAY
Do you trade according to your trading system?
Yes? No?
Sometimes a small change can make big results. Maybe you should think about your trading system and maybe change it.”
Do you write down all your trades in a diary?

Forex Trading 12/04/2010
Good Morning Friends,
It feels like I have been away for a long time...some might say I should have been.
I even got up later than I would normally have done. I did one early trade, before my 08:00 GMT. Because it was this early I was only looking for a 10 point limit.
I am now taking my children out for the morning so will not be trading for a few more hours. I will be waiting for 14:30 GMT which is when Wall Street opens.
Have a good mornings trading and I will catch up with you all a little later.

Good Morning,
And for all the people that understand "Pinch-Punch 1st of the Month!
If some of you out there think that I just roll out of bed and put on a couple of trades then hobble back into bed then I am going to give you a little insight into how my days is.
05:00 get out of bed, put the kettle on to make a mug of tea (Most important at this time of day) I drink Tazo Green Tea. Boot up Laptop's and PC's. While the systems are booting up, I read my Beliefs and then my Trading Plan, almost as important as the 1st mug of tea. Then log in to ForexFactory to check the data and put the information into a skype chat that I am a member of. Log in to IG Index and FXCM. Load the charts up that for the Pairs that I watch GBP/USD (Cable), EUR/USD (Fiber) and Daily US Light Crude (Oil). Decide on the levels of where I suspect the morning breakout to come from and draw lines. Today my entry short on Cable will be 15170 and my long entry is 15245 just above the R1 Pivot (R1 = Resistance 1) checking pivots and indicators for my strategy (although I generally do not trade it before 08:00 GMT). Now open up MetaTrader, again checking possible entry points for a pivot strategy that I trade.
05:30 once the 1st mug of tea has been drunk, make a second mug. Now that the information from ForexFactory has been disected and categorised, the only ones we are truly interested in are High Impact Announcments and Medium Impact Announcements. I place this in the skype chat for other members to view at a quick glance.
Now that these tasks have been done I then start to read. The book I am currently reading is "Way of the Turtle" by Curtis M Faith. This can be picked up at Amazon UK or Amazon USA. I read at least one chapter, always keeping one eye on the charts. As some of you may be aware I am writing my own book, I then write a few pages.
I bet you are thinking bloody hell there is a lot to do here, well before you know it the day is over. I am not even at 07:00 GMT yet.
Just to keep you informed, I think the holiday's have kicked in for some people, it is 10:30 GMT and I have not placed one trade yet. Well it is now 17:50 GMT and I have not traded all day. I gave up hours ago so I hope you all made money this afternoon UK & Europe and this morning for all my friends stateside.
Have a very happy holiday tomorrow. I will not be around again until the end of next week, we are going away for a week to unwind with the family.

Forex Trading 15/03/2010
Good Morning,
In the UK over the weekend it was Mother’s Day. This is where we celebrate our mothers, mine lives a long way from where I do and I rang to wish her a happy day.
Do any of you follow Rugby Union, well my team Sale Sharks are having a bit of a bad year and so are England. I read in one report that Martin Johnson says that the team are improving, which England is he watching? He needs to stop kidding himself that he can coach. There, that’s my rant over with.
So on to this morning, and might I add that it is a very good morning, so good in fact that I am going for a round of golf and my beloved Golf Club.
So let me tell you the story of this morning. Well as per usual I got up 05:00 GMT. Did my usual boot up of the laptops and PC’s, more for Internet Marketing that my wife and I do. So nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I checked Forex Factory, there weren’t any fantastic announcements coming up. I started to reading “Way of the Turtle”. Checking the charts I noticed that Cable (GBP/USD) was ready for entry with my strategy. So it was around 07:36 I opened my ticket short, limit of 15 set. It wasn’t long after setting this that I noticed that AUD/USD was also ready so I opened up a ticket also with a 15 point limit, the next was Fiber (EUR/USD) and another ticket open. I have never been this exposed this early in the morning, three trades on the go and it wasn’t even 09:00 and all before my gorgeous girls were at school.
Now this blog is going out before I have had time to put the charts up for you. I got back from dropping the girls at school to see that my Cable trade had netted 15. Now Oil was looking like a trade 08:50 ish. So it is now 09:30 and I am off, suffice it to say that I have picked up 15 points on every trade this morning so am 60 points up. How about that for a Monday, talk about Trading in the Zone.
