I got in a short at 1.5385 which was a nice entry with a stop at 1.5415. The market did worrying bounce up and got close but then fell. However, the path downwards was not straight and was showing some resistance… in comparison, the EURUSD had just fallen and this made me feel that the pound sterling had some strength today. The market was bouncing and I got tired of waiting for it to drop and I took my profit at 1.5335 for +50. However, a minute after I had done this, the market fell a further 40!! Arrrgh.. so close yet so far.
With trading there are so many human attributes which can lead to your downfall… the common ones are fear and greed. Impatience is another which I experienced today… there are so many more which form the core of our genetic make up (which allowed us to evolve into the human beings we are today)… however, a lot of these attributes though quite normal are detrimental to the success in trading which is why trading is such a difficult endeavour to pursue.
I got in the perfect entry today after seeing the market was trending down and I got in at 8382.. I got out far too early though at 8355 so grabbed only 27 points.. the market fell as far as 8285 which was a further 70 points.. I am finding it difficult to hold onto profits and 27 points is so measly compared with what it could have been!
The USDCAD currency pair moved significantly lower today but it bounced off 12245. I saw that the forex pair was oversold and went in on the swing high after the initial pullback after the bounce off 12245. I got in at 12335 with a 50 pip stop.. I had no target this time round as I expected this to be a bounce before a possible retest of the support line (12245). The market went as high at 12420 but I got out at 12405 as the market formed a spike down.. I got my 70 pips!!
