I wasn’t quite in the trading mood today, felt rather tired but I went long EURUSD anyway. I was lucky as it shot up 5 mins or so after my entry… I got in at 12532 and got out at 12619 for +87 pips. However, I got out a bit too early as the market continued to shoot up and I am currently seeing prices of 12711.. I have left profits on the table, in fact, 90 odd points I’ve missed out on… I only have got out half of what I could have taken! Nevermind, a profit is a profi.. especially considering I am not feeling too great!

I took a quick scalp trade on the DOW.. I don’t tend to like to trade the DOW due to it’s volatility but I saw a quick opportunity. The black lines represent resistance lines. The large black slanting line shows the price action breaking out of the downtrend pattern and the horizontal black line, the immediate resistance. As it broke I put on a quick long and rode it up 30 points to take a profit… phew!
