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.
