Month in review : September 2007

by Gav Leave a Comment

My last review of monthly trading result was at March. The relocation, new job and new timezone etc forced me to make certain changes in my trading. Well, in short, I am still trading dummies. I start day trading Forex actively since mid of September. Here is the review of my day trading so far. I am not sure if I am going to review my result online regularly, if I found myself under pressure because of this, I will just stop it.

All right, September, I day trade Forex exclusively. Started from mid September, I made 19 trades. Unintentionally, all were Long trades. I am refining my dummy trading on Forex along the way, such as choosing a right time frame that suits my current work, risk appetite, and time zone. Towards the end of the month, it was kinda tough as I saw my trading result started to slip, partly due to over trading and taking sub par setups. Forcing myself to get disciplined again, I was lucky to catch the run of EUR/JPY.

Here is the summary:

  • Number of trades: 19
  • winning trades: 9 (~47.3%)
  • losing trades: 9 (~47.3%)
  • Break even/scratched: 1
  • Total R earned: 6.2
  • Expectancy: 0.33
  • Biggest winner: 5.78 R
  • Biggest loser: -1.02 R

Here is the performance curve.

Thursday, No trade

by Gav Leave a Comment

As mentioned in my twitter, I was busy with non trading matters and missed out all the profitable entries of AUD/USD, NZD/USD, AUD/JPY and EUR/JPY. It was supposed to be another multiple Rs-day, but well, sometimes, you can’t have it all in life.

Look at the Aussie dollar, we are back to 0.88 again. The currency trend is stronger and longer than I’d expected. Lovely.

I might not be available for trading again on Friday. I thought I might as well close the trading month now. I will do a monthly review over the weekend.

Wednesday’s trading

What a day for EUR/JPY. It has been going up for 8 hours continuously. There were times that I felt ‘It is enough, it is going to pull back’ , but no. It just kept moving up. I decided to close my Long position with +5.78 R profit. I traded AUD/USD as well, stopped with -0.85 R.

End the day with +4.93 R. EUR/JPY should continue moving up during U.S session, I guess. But, it is 1:15am in Melbourne, Australia, I decide to close my day trade position and rest. I can’t complain too much with a day like this 🙂

Here is the chart of EUR/JPY. I really have no idea what is moving the market.

Tuesday’s trading

It was pretty dull throughout Asian and U.K session. Things started to pick up at the end of hour before U.S market opened.  I made a quick trade before went off to bed. Long EUR/USD. End the day with +0.79 R. I have been observing if it is worth to stay up for U.S session. It is pretty tough for me at the moment. Most of time feeling tired and sleepy during this hour. I certainly do not want to trade under such condition. Let’s see, work is still in progress.

Aussie dollar is just way too strong. I thought it was going to be a down day. Well, at least to be flat. But it did not. It is firing towards 0.88 level.

Monday’s Trading

Another bad and dull day. I made 3 trades, 3 losers. I traded CAD/JPY and EUR/JPY(twice).  Though the Rs are smaller than normal, it just doesn’t feel good to have 2 losing days in a row, well, just a little bit of  psychological effect. Anyway, I should admit that I made mistakes for the first 2 trades where I just couldn’t resist to put on the trades even though it was public holiday in Japan where the Asian morning was just dull and quiet. I gave myself some silly excuses to trade.  Anyway, get over it.  Today is a brand new day. I still have the view that Dollar is likely to rebound soon though.

Stocks trading, I established Long position of DXL. I am still playing with Materials sector at the moment. Let’s see how it goes.

Chart of interest: AUD/USD 24-September 2007

by Gav Leave a Comment

We had a strong week for Aussie. We are likely to test 0.88 area again. But before that, I expect some pull backs before it continues its bullish run , or in other words, rebound of USD for the coming week. Let’s see how it goes.
