Back in the Game

After having quite a bad trading month managing from beginning of the month to have a huge DD of 76% I've managed to bring back may account above BE. From here on I'll be focusing on only taking 1-2 trades/month but this should be swing trading opportunity that can bring me some 100 pips in profit, lets see if I can manage to get back in top 10.

First Week After NFP Report

Usually the first week after each NFP report is quite important for the overall direction in the FX market as the trends that start during this week will dictate the direction for the entire month unless there are other major forces at work that can disturb the trend.

Draw-down

The new month has barely started and I already hit a draw-down of more than 60%. Despite this I'll be looking to recover my account balance and do whatever it takes to be back in the green. I still have full points for quality trades and if I continue blogging which should give me extra points it will help me however I need to have some profitable trades as well .
Best Regards,

Scalping with GBP/JPY

Yesterday I was trying to pick up a top in GBP/JPY but in the end I ended up taking few scalp trade in both direction of the market. Overall my performance with this trades was negative as my losses where bigger than my winners. Unfortunately I already have a 32% DD so I need to make sure the next trade is a winner otherwise it will be quite hard to recoup my balance.
