Newstrading EA: Making the Most Out of UK Rate Cut

The Bank of England has cut interest rates to 1.5%, the lowest level in its 315-year history.

I managed to established two long positions with the newstrader EA, and the newstrading program gave me the largest profit of this month so far (+89 pips).

The Start of 2009 & Daytrading Routine

Monday marked the start of the first full trading week for 2009. I officially kicked off my new year trading with two straight winners. Price volatility had come down quite a lot recently and I was able to make good use of my day trading program/plan. Owing to efforts made in 2008, now I keep a simple, automatic and discipline daytrading routine.

Below shows the two newly closed positions. The captured screenshots show my EA program's automatic entries and exits. Two exit targets were employed which produced a combined profit of +139 pips with the use of EA programs. A possible +85 pips with manual trade. All real-time trade entries and exits can be found on my daily spreadsheets - which is made available to my program subscribers.

End of Year & Daytrading Profits

Last full trading week of the year. We managed some strong gains today using the same daytrading method I introduced back in February. The system had proved useful and carried me far this year.

During these couple of months, I setup a lot of day trades which gave me a lot of small but consistent profits. Using the same approach, just recently, I also managed to establish some long-term positions which had become fruitful as the US dollar got seriously hammered in the last few days. I had been adding positions since November 24: Discretionary Forex Trades Paying Off For Now.

It has been an eventful year for me. I am grateful with the results. We'll be winding down our trading for the year and getting ready for 2009 as we draw closer to the holiday period.
