Another week has gone by and a pretty decent week for both strategies. My breakout came to life a little, bagging a winner (at last)and my new scalping strategy is doing pretty good as well, so maybe the tides are turning for me - hope so.
My breakout activated today, but lasted all of 10 mins and hit my SL at -15 pips, so a loser there, but for the month, after yesterdays win, on paper it is -15, so not too bad considering my target per trade is +75.
My scalper is doing ok today, made a few trades, but because the EJ and EU are in a bit of a range, it's made it a little difficult to make any decent profits, so happy with a small loss. EU = +19.6 & EJ = -28.8 (but with 1 trade still running). So total today, minus the 1 trade still active is -9.2..... My second target on the EJ trade is 12420.
Results for the month so far:
Breakout = -21 (But on paper should be -15)
Scalper = +310.3 (with 1 trade still active - EJ Long)
If we are talking percentage increase, overall this week i am up +14.25%.
A lot of interesting stuff going on in my live trading room, so things are looking very positive for me at the moment. I am hopefully going to be looking at joining FX500 Club, probably back end of March and also demo trading a few robots (EA's) on Dukoscopy platform.
Well that's it from me, have a cracking weekend - more rugby to watch.

Shane,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear its all going well. The FX500 Club is excellent, their training videos (on their system)are brilliant and I really believe that they can help you move into longe term trading as well.
Might be joining them live also myself later in the year,
cheers,

Hi Al - great to hear from you, long time, no speak (text - lol). You still in FXTT mate? You should take a look in Piptorious live trading room, a lot of traders in there most days and some really interesting topics being discussed, specifically about FX500 Club and some great Robots (EA's). Let me know if you want to be part of the trading room by sending me your Skype details and i'll invite you over next week. I have heard a lot of good things about FX500 Club as most of the guys in the trading room are now starting to trade their Cross strategy, so looking to join back end of March i reckon. Anyway thanks for the comments, it's much appreciated and i'll hopefully hear from you again soon. Cheers mate - Shane Scully
ReplyDeleteShane,
ReplyDeleteStill working in the day job so no chance of getting into the live room am afraid. As I said I might have a chance of a year sabbatical to give the trading a go full time. This would be through FX500 and probably the piptorious group. Should have an answer about Easter so will have to wait and see.
Currently trading the breakout strategy and doing some of the trades advertised on the FX500 blog, although mostly in the evening as we are 2 hours ahead here in Cairo. Slowly buildinh up the pot which is great.
Take it easy and will stay in touch - keep posting the blog,
