I finished the first week of July Trader Contest in the top 10 and I feel quite optimistic about making more profits in the days ahead.
But was it just the luck? I really didn't have any strong feelings about where the market was going to go; this was mostly because of the confusion in regards to the situation between Greek government and its European creditors. So, I basically went with my "gut feeling" which proved to be correct.
I was way ahead before NFP release but I didn't close these positions and all profits got slashed by more less a half after US dollar started falling. Each month I promise myself not to trade NFP but then the greed takes over...so I just hope one day I'll become a more disciplined trader.
The bottom line was:
All but 2 trades were closed in profit. The 2 losses I took were both in USD\PLN - so hard to trade that pair.
