yee haa - actually made some money today. cable closed for +40 and euro -6 so 34 pips in the bank to pay the bills with. Nothing to write home about but 34 pips is 34 pips - if it was $1000 a pip you'd be happy wouldnt you?

swissy didnt trigger by the way.

Heres looking forward to a good tomorrow too although with the dutch referendum things might just be slack again waiting for the result.

If its an expected no then maybe we will watch the euro tank on Thursday cos that will really be a strong nail ion the coffin of the EU.

Mind you - the doommongers are signalling that this might be the end of the EU as we know it - and even the currency!! - that would be a christmas present to me - i hate the euro cos there are too many players in it to make it volatile enough.

come back franc and DM all is forgiven !!

catch ya tomorrow folks - hope you all had a good day too :)

HIya, sorry the post is late today sir :) - two trades have already triggered but ive been far too busy to post - had lots of work to get done

also done a nice flash intro for the simple forex systems site - lemme know in the comments what you think of it.

Right then - trades open at the mo are as follows

cable long @8182
euro short @2329

swissy hasnt triggered yet so we will see if it does

im never 100% happy when cable and eiro are at opposites but thats the system so ya gotta play it :)

Im hoping to take some hilda trades later in the week when i have more time - just that having a holiday from my netbusinesses always results in a backlog of orders.

later peeps

Day off - What day off!!

Well, so much for a day off!


Wife dragged me first to the wholesalers to buy a new vacum cleaner and other bits and bobs (total £230.00) and then off to the garden centre for plants (£45.00)

Of course now she's got plants then she needed a freshly dug piece of earth to put em into (3 hours hard graft)

Pleeze!! no more bank holidays for a while - im knackered!!

Anyway, got that sorted now and while she's planting ive done a bit of work.

The cable trade didnt kick in at all however swissy and eddy did today (swissy = USD/CHF, eddie = EUR/USD) - and took +21 on swissy and +14 on eddie so 35 for a day out - not bad :)

Also been working on the hilda system results and tidying them up for the Month of May - so far with one day left to play the results are astounding.

Total of 49 trades - 40 winners and 9 losers giving a pretty amazing 81% win / loss ratio for a total of +1075 pips

Of these pips just 37 pips were lost in the losing trades.

I think another month of actual results and some tidying up on making the method simpler to follow and it will be ready for launch.

PS, if you would like updates on when this blog is updated and when there is news of a change on http://www.simpleforexsystems.com just send an email to simpleforex@freeautobot.com

Catch you all tomorrow - i may only be trading the grail again tomorrow cos theres lotsof orders to process from my online businesses.

Take care y'all and Keep the faith.

Anyway - been out and come back to find that cable triggered and entry AND an exit on stop so minus 50 for the day - bummer :( none of the other trades triggered tho in the timeframe set for execution

still lots of fun out this afternoon so worth it - show me a system with no losses and ill show my backside in burtons window!!

Thats ya lot for me anyway -

Hope the French Vote 'Non'
Hope I win the lottery
and finally hope i get my end away this weekend :)

Ciao!!

murray notes

Just taking time out to make notes of graeme's suggestions on the use of murray math lines

Sell @7/8 close @4/8
buy@1/8 close @4/8
sell@8/8 close @6/8
buy @0/8 close @ 2/8

right - 12 noon here in the uk and no trades have triggered yet - going out soon but will report later on results of set and forget trades

there was a reasonable hilda trade today at around 8am for a long cable at 8227 - trade wouldve closed around 45 for +18 - remember to log this one soul.

im finding this new method of set and forget trading much better - im finding time to do things like this blog and also getting to grips with my other businesses.

Great thing is that capitalspreads.com is really doing well as i can set the trade in the morning and totally forget about it till later - mike is right when he says 'dont sweat the action' it so much less stressful than my usual trading style.

On saying that the system has had a stinking month up to press and this may well be the first ever losing month in 3 years of data trading it.

On saying that its actually -7 on the month as we speak but there are still 3 trading days left inc today so best not try to guess the final outcome for May :)

for those reading this blog youve not seen pervious resuls so dont take these small numbers as typical cos it isnt - normally its around the 1000 pips a month mark which when used with decent levels of trading is enough for anyone

later folks

Day off and out!!

Well, the sun is shining in happy Derbyshire UK today - to be honest its the first time weve seen some summer!

ive placed 3 set and forget trades as follows - got to be back late this afternoon to close any out so lets see how they do

these are all oco orders (one cancels other)

Cable
Long 8267, stop 8217, take profit 8487
OR short 8187, stop 8237, take profit 7967


euro
long 2568, stop 2518, tp 2758
OR short 2488, stop 2538, tp 2298


swissy
long 2387, stop 2337, tp 2587
OR short 2307, stop 2357, tp 2107

Development on The Hilda Baker System will be suspended until monday however as an update so far for May the system has produced 974 pips - ps, ignore the price on the website - it will be much less than that when ready. - see more details of the system here http://www.simpleforexsystems.com

Now lets see if i can avoid all the hype around the french eu consitution vote today. Who cares what the french think anyway??





Welcome!!

Welcome to my blog

I was inspired by Graemenash who started one of these so i thought i'd join in

expect insights into the world from a lunatic perspective (we traders are a lonely sad lot ya know) along wth thoughts as i take my trades for the day.

Just one day left before the bank holidays - tomorrow ive vowed to place a set and forget trade in the morning and then go somewhere nice like nearby chatsworth house for the day.

Be interesting to see if i can stick to it!!
