So I did not think to start tracking my trades in this blog when I started this endeavor. I have been trading for about 3 weeks so far and news trading has yielded me only three tradable events.
I am not going to list the events, but I gained 6% on the first trade. Yay. Then the time change happened in Britain, but I was unaware of it, so I completely missed the next tradable event. (I wake up at 3:30 AM to trad GBP trades and go back to bed).
The third trade, I actually set up the clicks wrong with SNW elite... I put the "buy" click on the sell and the "sell" click on the buy. So I ended up selling instead of buying. A huge mental mistake that cost me 6%. I guess that I was not awake enough...
So, here I am with 2/3 trades being mental mistakes. I am at break even. I think I have learned a lot from my mistakes and I will not make them again. I'm embarrassed to even admit that I made that mistake setting up the clicks for the account... It was so awful, but I want to share the bitterness of failure as well as the sweetness of success with you.
We'll see how this goes for the next 4 weeks. I believe I have a winning strategy.
