i'll be keeping my trade logs here for review.
week of 3/13, and 20 had a gain of 35%
last long position finally closed out last thursday: (720/4 = 180 pips)
resulting additional 18% gain.
reason to exit the trade: thursday candle = shooting star off resistance. although high of the shooting star didn't pierce through the previous high of 4280 (sl hunt), did not want to take the risk being in the market on nfp day.
nfp day: since took a business trip to atlantic city, felt like gambling. lol
nfp numbers looked good, but euro falling and dow rising looked little suspicious.
10:00 am or so, price struggled to down side a little. since everyone was making fun of me not gambling last night, thought i might take a shot.
entry took: 4088
sl: 4058
thought i might use 30 pips give away just to make the guys happy, ended up with a winning trade. took profits as price advanced. closed out all by the end of ny.
pips earned : 98 pips
1:3 rr (although didn't plan on this)
did better than those boys at casino. lol
6% gain
total gain: 59%
