04/08 — The day of Non-Farm Payrolls. Adrenaline playing boogie-woogie. I still had an open position, I couldn't close at a good price, so I decided to risk leaving it in for the NFP, as I believed it's gonna be weak. I played the classic game ...

03/08 — So here's what happened on Thursday. I had two open positions on EURUSD, I entered them believing we are going to take out the previous high of 1.2835. It was stupid of me, I could have expected the market staying on the safe side ...

01/08 — This day was about patience vs discipline. Whichever you choose you can argue you did the right thing. Both can result in a loss, but you kept a certain part of your system under control. Today I chose both. First patience and then ...

Euro to 1.2978 and maybe long term uptrend???

31/07 — No closed trade on Monday. The range was too small, and I expected the euro go further up. It didn't. In fact, at the time of writing this, it came back 50 pips from yesterday's high. I have to be careful today. Lots of news coming ...

28/07 — A good day for staying humble and keeping on learning. I went into some significant loss with the trades I opened on Thursday, even added to them. I was trying to force my will on the market, and that never works. Luckily again, I ...

26/07 — What a rollercoaster day! I was wrong about the dollar, and it cost me quite a lot of money. Started out as a boring day. Nothing happened until late afternoon (GMT+2), the dollar was drifting down, but it wasn't really convincing. And ...

24/07 — On Monday the market was in a kind of hibernation, at least by the time I woke up. Funny enough the action happened during the Asian hours. Then in the European and American session there wasn't much going on. I only made one trade, a ...
