This was a really good day , decided that Greed Is Good on my Euro trade,
and ride both my contracts for a big run , almost got taken out at entry with no profits ..
That was a stressful trade to say the least...
First trade was Crude Long , almost hit my 15 tick stop with 2 contracts , but I survived :)
And one of my best trades in a long time -- Euro Short with minimum heat -- Just great !!!!!

Good day today , only two trades and both winners for $ 400.00 -- Just great :)
Could have made a lot more , the tricky part is to hold the second contract to let it
run a bit more .. .

What a great day today trading Crude Oil .... First trade was a loss though , ,
but followed by a two awesome trades to make the day pretty darn good indeed ... :) :)
On the winning trade here to the right I decided to let both contracts run to the next
support level , that did indeed paid out nicely this time :) ......
Final trade of the day was a long trade followed by the previous short ,
played it conservative with only one lot... Great day today , just shy of $ 700.00

What a great day today , but didn´t start too well for me, small loss to begin with...
Had plenty of time to do something about it, reduce risk further but didn´t move it tight enough..
My second trade here to the right was one of the best ones I have done in ages --
perfect entry , just a brilliant trade ... :)

Today was extremely difficult..... ------ Volatility was explosive , especially on Crude..
..... Very difficult day to trade... Here are my today´s trades. .. . .
This first one was a stop out - minus 15 ticks x 2 contracts, so down 300 dollars on my first trade.
-- On picture two here to the right.. .. I tightened up my stop to minimize risk ,
because now I am on recovery mode because of first trade was a loser....
Second trade was a loser aswell - minus 3 ticks x two contracts ... Not a good start this morning .. .
Next crude trade was a loser aswell . . Blew right through stop .So here again minus $ 300
Next one was a winner. . .. Here I moved my stop higher ( 2 ticks above swing high ) to give it more wiggle room .. But was a very stressful trade .. . haha. . yehh .. . .
........... Thats what can be expected trading crude oil... !!!!!
One trade on Gold today ... Was a good one for the recovery for the day here... .
............Not too bad for me today !! Small loss.. But not bad at all .. .
