GBP/USD - Long 1.5036 TP 1.5047 = +11

Stop was just 8 pips but I've already moved it to break-even, target around 25 pips maybe a touch more.
Well it's all rather boring this morning, pulled this at +11 as I don't have time to baby sit it.

I'll take a moment to say that I very rarely have a bias, long or short, as by definition a bias is 'influence' and I don't want to influence anything; because I can't.

As we stand I have a number of alarms set, typically near round numbers, ready to alert me. I'm waiting for the market to show it's hand, I need not chase nor predict anything.

If I told you I'd have to kill you.

Generally speaking I do use a chart, a 5 minute chart and nothing else. It only requires a brief look. I've spent enough time analysing charts, analysing some more and then over-analysing to send me crazy, and hence, I've stopped doing it!

GBP/USD - Long 1.5078 / TP 1.5099 / ST 1.5066

Might pull out early, depends on momentum. I had a good day yesterday so no need to get greedy.

Stop moved to break-even; talk about slow, my longest trade in weeks!

+10 for now, I've adjusted my target to ~104 but I might just cut and run for the day.

TP 1.5100 = +22

So that's +31 for the day and concludes my trading.

I missed two short alarms, both would have easily doubled my daily total.

However I'm busy at work so it's 'tough titty', there's always tomorrow!

I took a trade last night waiting for my partner to get home, move to B/E, was +15 then I left it to fall back. I 'lose' many trades that way but it's better than an actual loss of course.

Typical, I come out of my meeting at my long alarm triggered - would have netted 60+ pips.

I won't be able to trade for the rest of the day as I'm too busy, probably the same tomorrow actually. I need to sort a few things out before I go on holiday Friday morning.

So, my first loosing day is potentially on the cards?

I'm focusing on Cable mainly at the moment because I just don't have the time to trade multiple pairs (although I do hold a long on gold).

To be honest if I can make 20-40 pips per day on just one pair, there really is little point trading anything more. No need to over-stretch oneself.
