Dear Pipsters;

I had a relatively quiet morning taking only two trades; dow short 8378 - 8331 (+47) would have had some more but missed the low taking my lads to school. My second trade was a negative and was Brent crude; I waited patiently for a break of 5200 and got in 5197 and knew we'd see a little retracement, had my s/l at last high around 5245 level. Guess what, my little ol' spread company did the nasty and spiked me out, on ODL same price action, but no spike; pah and fooey. Don't you hate it when that happens. Even more annoying it went down to around 5160 level 3 candles later!!

Better news though I traded Dow at the NY open; well you just had to. What a set up. I managed a very respectable 137 pips 8360 - 8497 (note the entry was the previous support and resistance level). A nice way to close the day. My s/l was at 8340 so only 20 pips risk.

I rearranged my trading station this evening and with two large monitors within 50cms I can feel the heat and my face is developing a nice rosey glow (some might say its the red wine - and they'd be right too).

Good night pipsters - in my hand this evening is a free wine courtesy of BMI frequent flyers points.......Cheers Its red, its wet and its got alcohol, and they are its good points!!
