EURUSD 01 Aug 2011

A good start to the week.

Placed a short after looking checking the ichimoku charting.

There was some consolidation after the trade executed, nevertheless, stop loss was in placed.

Finally, the price action revealed itself. It trended downwards.

Good profit for the day though that's the only trade for the day.

Position closed out gradually.

EURUSD 19 Aug 2011

It was a very slow day.

Entered an order to long. Price triggered stop in long position.

Price was consolidation for hour. Closed the position.

At this moment, the price had moved upwards in favour of the "closed" long position.

Nevertheless, its in the plan to close out the position. There is always another for you to trade.
