A sound start to the year

Hi All

I thought I would share the trades I took this morning in my first session of the year (I was unable to join in last week due to my 'proper' job).

GBPUSD short 1 5030.5 to 1 4870.5 +60
GBPJPY short 1 3539.1 to 1 3498.2 +40 (50% off)
1 3508.4 +31 (50%) +35
EURUSD short 1 3361.6 to 1 3360.0 -
despite going well over 20 pips, I moved stop to break even, which was hit
total (am session only) +95

Unfortunately my 'proper' job prevented me joining the pm session until it was almost over, so I didn't take any further trades today.

I know this is an embarrassingly small haul, having seen the results of many of the fx500 club when they signed off after the US open, but as I have asked Rockie to keep posting his weekly (and accumulated for the year) totals here, I couldn't keep mine a secret.

By the way my target (in my plan, with objectives set out for the whole year) is 60 pips a day (I know Zak thinks that is so last year, and we should have progressed to a 250 pips a day now, not 250 a week, which was OK last year), so whilst comparatively modest, I am a very very contented fx500 club member

Well done to everyone, looking forward to the morning

ps Thanks Rockie & Strato, I stayed focussed on what I was doing this morning and didn't monitor any of the 'chat' - I read Dan & Zaks reports, marked up my charts accordingly, with one ear on what they were saying

pps Nicola you are absolutely amazing

Paul
