Crazy Daisy News Trading:
Couldn't resist.
I did sit through London session without taking a trade. Did not see an H1 momo setup that was a good entry for me.
London 0 trades.
Still 13 trades to go on my first 20 trade stretch following strict guidelines.
NY, Yikes.
Was short and down about 12 pips total when all of a sudden Poof. -104 instantly.
No biggie, news always retraces right.
Then went short and fxcm was showing -1.1ish when mt4 price was down 40 pips...Hmmmmm finally gave it up after a min or two....then went long for the 2nd run with double as we know it always goes long again right??
Well,
+51.5 for day.
Not bad being I spotted them about 140ish !!! LOL
Next time I'll wait for the 2nd push instead of trying to pick a direction and getting whipsawed around before hand.
Think I'll trade news with micro lots just for the fun of it even when I do get to banking big time.
(I know, I know, trading is suppose to be emotionless, ok)
