Cold cold saturday (in Argentina)

Hi everybody, I'm from argentina and today it's really cold, a day to eat popcorn in the bed while watching netflix, so no forecast today.
anyway I will have to get out of bed because I have a barbacoe with my ex-partners of the MBA, it usually last from midday to 3am but it's great to stress out and get some motivation from other sources.

currently the EURUSD is trading at 1.168

After a break I'm back in june

last month I didn't participate in the contest, but in june I'm back, I will try to make a big profit in the first trades an then keep it slow. the us dollar has been going up in the last month and nobody knows where it will stop, that is bad for me because usually I'm a reversal trader.

Second day, in negative but close

yesterday my order closed with the high spread of midnight, unfortunatelly to finally go to my TP direction but too late.
at this moment I have a pending sell order waiting to go to the 261% of the expantion I have traced last night. anyway I'm in not my best shape emotionally and that hurts a lot my trading and the time I give to it.

A new opportunity in March

Last month I finished with a positive balance, but far away from the podium, so this month I will try again, this month also I have my vacations so I will only look at the market once a day, hopefully being more peaceful will help me, I will be spending my days in my weekend house in the mountains and probably go fishing there too.
