Tuesday update

This will probably be my last Stock trading update for a few days. It's a real pain to post this many charts and tag all the tickers... I'd rather just not do it.

Anyways, had some nice runners today. Still long some positions that are losing at the moment, but I am comfortable holding for a bit.

Also, Traded the AUDUSD Rate move last night, but came to the charts late thanks to the fact that I didn't update the clock on Forex Factory... Lost 1%. Nothing huge.

YOU HAD ONE JOB TO DO!!!!

Goddammnit!

If I had only flipped over my daily planner I would have noticed that today (Which happens to be my birthday) was also the EUR minimum bid rate...

Well, I missed the move entirely and it was GREAT action. A power blast straight down of 100 pips in 2 mins... I would have at least made some money on my bracket orders... Tried trading some of the after math and lost a little... Could have been up on the day instead if my positions had not been taken out for break even. But that's the way I do it...

I had a limit sell last night for $VRX but the market gapped down and I wasn't filled. woulda been nice.

My buy on $ERII last night was good and I sold for a nice gain this morning.

Also, my $HLX from yesterday was in profit this morning so I sold.




All in all a nice day so far... I am really bummed that I didn't remember to set my alarm for todays trade @5:45am... That would have been a money maker for sure, but that's trading. Another lesson learned. Next trade is on the 28th FED funds rate. It was a good mover last time, but that's probably because they changed the rate. Thats my last news trade this month to make some bank.

Oh and I forgot! I realized later on today when I check on the mouse trap robot, that it actually nailed the move in the EURUSD that I was asleep for haha, so awesome!

Upo-dato

 

Chart glitch today had me down $500 twice on WTW... bummer because I would have bough a nice bounce. I exploited the glitch to make $3000 after the losses haha, but it doesn't mean anything.



Today was the rate decision in the Canadian Dollar. here is a chart of my trading. I've lost a few % in the last week trading non-news and had I not done that, I'd be up over 5% right now, but lessons lessons...

Looking at the longer term chart which is not pictured here, I had a gut feeling of a breakout north. North was the initial direction, and price action was signaling a continuation. Higher lows, Higher Highs. Then as the market consolidated a little, the most recent highs become targets for profit, but not necessarily reversal. I wouldn't want to get caught shorting an established up move on such an event. It can always go farther than you think. I would have kept a tight stop, but I'd rather not risk the loss regardless.

HLX fell today after I tried to dip buy, so I put in a limit to add at support, but it didn't dip low enough to give me my average price. Missed out on that, but looking to hold this earnings winner for a few days to see what happens.

And finally a chart of OJ
