    Good Lesson!

    This afternoon I learned another valuable lesson which was never to go against your kind of trading. Normally, I really do 100 pip commerce profits, and place my stop losses in 100. Well I was more than confident and decided to perform some 150 pip trade profit. It ended up moving up to 110 pips in my favor, but never attained my take profit. I got home from work, the transaction went against me. Learned a whole lot from this commerce, basically that when I'd have kept to my style, this could have been a trade, and my overconfidence did me.

    I am going to stay following the bearish trend on the Euro. It would appear that the excitement of the Euro using the bailout has ended after a day. Would not be suprised to see that the Euro proceed as low as 1.20, maybe lower. Details of the transaction....

    Shorting the Euro=1.27100
    Take Profit=1.26100
    Cease loss 1.29000
    Leverage .20
    *****TRADE HAS BEEN A SUCCESS SO FAR*******

    Trade has lasted bearish. . .just moved my take profit up yet another 100 pips to 1.25100. Stop loss has now been moved to 1.27000. Worst I can do is create a profit of 10 pips. Currently am up 95 pips and will ride this bearish trend.

    Nevertheless feel that the recent retracement upward into the 1.25 degree, will just be minor. That it gone up, I believe its the ideal time to put in the trade. The Euro has been shorted in my commerce more since Europe is still in diseray. Details of Trade....

    Take Profit=1.23900

    Last night I shorted the Euro in 1.24900. It rejected from the fibbonaci level 61.8, also followed my trendline down, which I expected it to do, leading to a 100 pip trade to 1.23900. The commerce worked out and has been my 4th successive commerce in a row. Ever since began trading my record has been 5-2....Chart is below
