10 November. No currencies traded today

I`m feeling a bit confused today. From my previous experience - I have not to trade this day. Very confusing situation for me when I`m not able to get in a trade. Wanna enter GBP short but no confidence... Look at Aug, 08, 2006, never know who what where it goes!

The point here is: no more trades this week!

Updated totals for November:
As showed on
An attack to my Forex Loser reputation (5) + GBP / USD trade Closed (57) = 62 pips profit for the first one decade. Critical for a Forex Loser career.

Have a nice week-end, losers ;-) just kidding.

GBP / USD trade Closed

11/9/2006 3:56:36 AM Sell GBP USD 5L 1.9074
Stop Lose - 1.9107 Take Profit - 1.9017
--------------------------------------------------
Trade closed. Profit: 57 pips.

Very strange intraday situation - with Eur up, when GBP is down;
crosses with higher highs and higher lows for some and lower highs with lower lows on others.
In fact i`m glad the target hit before US Trade Balance numbers.

What i see for today:
As far as GBP/USD can not get above 1.91 my view of this pair is ranging -> bearish mode. If 1.9100 broken the pair will tray to get above 1.9150. Almost same situation for GBP/EUR, GBP/JPY crosses!

Trades: short GBP using tight SL above 1.91.

Did open a trade today: 11/9/2006 3:56:36 AM Sell GBP USD 5L 1.9074
Stop Lose - 1.9107 Take Profit - 1.9017



I`m waiting for the action today. Mean time i plan to read and read 2-3 big trucks with information regarding markets, psychology, analyze myself and make routine work.

Have fun!

An attack to my Forex Loser reputation

Today i`m alive....

Ask yourself if the trades you are in, are trades you would enter right now confidently? if answer is no - cut the loss - go out and get real drunk and start fresh. Gotta take your lumps and move on if you dont like your positions. you will feel better once you do and will be able to be objective again."

Yesterday, Nov, 7 i did want to close both my positions at a some point but was unable to push the buttons. Finally both trades finished to stop loses (trash). Good for my reputation, bad for my account ballance.
Why not to close a trade if you don`t feel 100% confortable with it? Because Next time when i`ll try to close such a position i`ll be 100% wrong.

Enough about yesterday - let`s talk about today!!!
