This was a nice scalp after drawing and waiting. A few more pips would qualify this as a just about ideal bread and butter trade (For me). About +6 Pips – more were available but price moved down quickly so I don’t know how it would have gone.

 

 

Then there are 2 more which ended about break even. Not a great set up but managed fairly well. The arrow is around the level I really wanted to look for a Sell.

 

 

NZD/CAD Longer term helped, about +80 pips

 

There were some setups I was interested in. The first 2 would have worked nicely, one wouldn’t have been triggered. (These were Limit orders which I did not enter).

 

USD/JPY –  Sell Stop. The best. I was anticipating head & shoulders

GBP/USD – Buy Stop

EUR/USD – Sell Stop wouldn’t have triggered

 

 

Here are a few trades that netted positive pips but not profit. It can be considered more or less a break-even series of trades.

This was due to starting out with a AUD/USD trade that wasn’t a great idea, then having smaller size on the green trades. The trading itself was nothing special, however it was about + 30 pips (before commission) so better position size management could have helped.

The EUR/GBP was based on a weekly chart and provided most of the pips.
