My EUR/USD long orders were triggered. It was so near to hit my first profit target when it made new high. But, well, so near yet so far. I closed the position before U.S trade balance announcement , since the positions were not going anywhere and I know ‘the broker’ that I used will widen the spread. End the day with -1.75R.

Weekly Update of my trading challenge: Week 1
This week, I was only focusing in Forex day trading. I don’t see too much opportunity in Aussie stocks trading at the moment. My brokers issue is settled soon, I hope to start index CFD trading 2 weeks later. So far, the portfolio grows +2.182%.

Here is the…..CHART!

      That’s trading. You’ll never know what’s gonna happen next. No sure thing in this market. Just remember to protect yourself.

    I got caught in the same down turn. Good thing I had the protection set up.
