Squeaky Bum Time
- Thread starter Soctopus

Natural Gas stopped out. Four losses on the spin, never had that in paper trading. A statistical anomaly, surely 
.
In matters of an 'operational control' nature, I missed the attached trade in EUR/USD which will no doubt hit it's projected target just because I am not in it. The failure has to do with OANDA's Sunday bars, which I am still getting my head around.

Can you provide volume data on the fx chart. Would be curious to see it.
Unfortunately is doesn't look like this feature is present.
Haven’t yet decided if I will posting every trade event, or post a summary weekly or monthly. For now am going to post everything.
HONG KONG 33 long entered. Position size is 1.7% rather than 1% due to position sizing constraints. In all honesty I could have put a .85% position on, decided to go bigger but probably shouldn't as I do feel uncomfortable about it and am imagining the psychological impact of loss #5 with bigger size.
This really is squeaky bum time.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!! I am my own worst enemy, I am so urinated off. Had to sit myself down for a serious chat.
I was almost too embarrassed to post this. Entered that HK33 order in wrong hence the confusion around position sizing (which should have set alarms ringing). This morning when I checked in the price was up, without me.
At least now I can now put in an order for this GERMANY 30 setup.

And we are off! First win of the journal courtesy of the French elections. The less said about "the one that got away", the better.
