sorry
sorry, took off for lunch yesterday and didnt bother much after that - took 52 pips on the downmove though but hey! its close to Christmas and cant be bothered to post anymore :)
So to all of you, please have a great time this christmas - dont do anything i wouldnt do (plenty of scope there then) and i'll catch you all in the new year.
Grail will still be traded over the holidays so dont forget to check out the grailtrading blog on New Years Day to see if we reach our target on the one million pound experiment :)
Till then take care y'all

Back in action
Ok, back in action today for the holiday week :)
Was diagnosed with diabetes so shit happens and ill now deal with it. There is an upside - I get free prescriptions now and I can also raid the diabetic chocolates at Thornton's (make ya crap a lot though :)
Thanks for the comments and birthday wishes anyway - much appreciated.
This week ill be taking it steady with trading - mainly looking for the longer timeframe trades on the run up to xmas. I like Christmas and I'm starting to get into the mood now so will be doing things around the house and the longer trades facilitates this.
Last night I went short cable @ 1.7684 with a stop at 1.7755 this is a 4 hour slo trade - looking for 1.7555 and a possible bounce point there. The trade might last longer than a day or two as the daily is setting up for a slo north BUT it may keep on going as this sets up to the weekly 200sma.
time will tell.

Happy birthday to meee
Happy Birthday to meeee

Happy birthday dear soulieeeeee
Happy birthday to meeee
Yep, that time of the year again and another year older - 42 now!
Ive had a wonderful birthday present - turns out i might be diabetic - having been ill of late i went to the doctors yesterday - ive been on steroids for a week and antibiotics for one thing and another and my vision went a bit blurry - Ive got a 42" plasma and i was watching the snooker and couldnt read the names of the players across the bottom!
Anyway, the nurse gave a slightly weird look and asked for a sample which i duly gave - there was sugar in it.
this morning on my birthday i had to go for a blood test and i should have the results by Thursday so ill let you know when i do.
Im starting to recover now from this virus so it will soon be time to start blogging again.
Trading wise ive had a fair 2 weeks but i just have not had the energy to deal with emails, blogs etc i should start back on the blog on Monday i think - still cant be arsed at this point.
catch you all soon :)

Mondays Trades
Been a very difficult day today - the UK waiting for the pre-budget statement from Gordon Brown made the market almost stagnat.
the morning session revealed no opportunities whilst the afternoon identified many poor trades - I full expected to finish off in a negative position today and it was a pleasant suprise when i added them up. Here are the results
all times GMT+1
14:15 long 1.7381 close -2
14:24 short 1 min slo 1.7377 close -10
14:57 long 1 min ss 1.7401 close -6
16:05 short 1 min slo 1.7396 close -5
16:41 short 1 min ss 1.7377 close full +25
17:12 long 1 min slo 1.7374 close half +12 rest +9
17:25 long 1 min ss close break even
17:34 short 1 min entry into 5 min slo 1.7384 closed -10
final tally +5 pips

Friday Close
Ok, had enough today -buggar all this morning but had some fun with nfp this afternoon.
went long at 1.7291 and closed half at +75 the other half at break even believe it or not - was hoping for this to go position trade- the weekly chart looks to me to be a good long position - last weeks chart ended with a hammer bouncing off the 200sma and providing we can close above 1.7286 today we should be in for a higher finish next week. I dont think it will be a proper trend reversal on the weekly as the monthly still bearish but i think this will see a bounce for the next week or three PROVIDING that we close above 1.7286 tonight.
I also took an added trade at 1.7355 which closed -10 based on a one min slo
so for the day +50.5 pips full up and for the week +205
have a good weekend
