I went long GBPUSD at 1.9555 with my usual 50 pip trailing stop. Unfortunately for me, it spiked down, took out my stop and then continued on it's merry way topping 1.9670 at one stage which is over 100 pips away. These things are frustrating but they happen. Oh well, I took a 50 pip loss.
The weekend gone I attended Simon Grinter's Forex seminar. For those who check in on the website you'll find that I've been thinking about attending Simon's seminar for a while. I've been following Simon's work for a long time now when he started trading the Dax and now Forex. He had a blog where he would post his trades and he was always doing very well. His current Forex blog shows results of his trading sessions and there seems to be a lot of profit being made: http://www.s3scores.blogspot
Following on from the previous post, there was a breakdown of the downward pattern and I went long at 1357. The stochastics were looking good in both the 1 and 5 mins so I went for it. However, I took profit at 1359 as the stochastics were looking to cross as you can see in the chart.. the market may well go higher as the stochastics have more to go in the 5 mins but I don't want to risk it! I got +2 points which isn't a bad result!
