Another great day today , only two trades --- One Euro trade that was a break even .

walked away and mowed my lawn  ,, haha .. .  Hindsight is always 20/20

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 ...  :)
















Final trade of the day  a small winner, .. . ..

Thursday June 23

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 .. .
