I don't tend to trade Bank Holidays as volumes are low and traders are generally off taking long weekends. These are times when the markets can do funny things. I didn't trade today but in hindsight, our system would have worked and bagged our 30 pips. For reference, here is the chart, the upper line is at 14493 and the lower at 14444. The market hits a high of 14550 which is almost 100 pips.
I went short on the GBPJPY at 14973 as it was bouncing off the resistance as you can see on the chart below. There seems to be resistance around the level where the price action was and as the price action looked to fall, I felt this was a good entry. The market has found some strength all of a sudden however so we will have to wait and see what happens. I have my stop at 15024 with a first target (if things go my way) at 14900 or so...
Well, I'm still running the demo account on the FXCM System Selector.. the date is 2nd March 19:30 GMT and the portfolio is now running at just under $97,000 which is a 3% loss so far. There are a couple of running trades still which are showing a cumulative profit of $1711.73. I'm short on both GBPUSD and GBPJPY on the Trend Escape trading system. It still early days so let's see how it goes..
