In the best week of trading this year, I experienced major technology issues and had to use 3 different computers. I ended up buying a fourth computer and had some issues with it too. I have not been able to post until now and although I have trades from each day last week, Tuesday’s trade capture is on a third computer but it wasn’t too different from Monday’s trade. I’m posting 4 trades from 2 different computers and we will call it a week of trading.
The idea last week was to short the GBPUSD as the week started out with Brexit and political issues in the U.K. On Thursday, BOE Governor Carney was speaking, so I looked elsewhere for a trade to avoid giving back any profits to volatility. As oil had been declining all week, I found a trade setup long in the USDCAD. The other four days were all GBPUSD shorts.
I won’t go into my usual description of the reward to risk, profit stop movement, levels in which price will test and retest as the trade progressed etc. because the trades are a little stale now. It’s a beautiful sunny holiday here and it’s difficult to be inside on a computer.
So here goes the capture uploads for 4 of the 5 trades from last week.
The technology issues last week reminded me of how dependent we are on it and how complicated technology is these days. One of my external drives also died. Going forward I will keep things much simpler…which is how I like trading to be.
Good luck with your trading and with your technology!
