4.1.2013 – live trading

With Friday bringing the NFP day, I have decided to play the LONG side more conservatively (1/2 & 1/4 usual sizes). Well, on the day like this I should have stayed away and waited for the perfect opportunity. The day ended up +1.5R but by the end of the morning session it didn't look very good. After four losses finally came two profitable trades. The idea behind these two trades was to go long on the break of the swing high which was created by the NFP news release. I have also added to the position on retracement. See for yourself.

Overall a positive day but sometimes nervewrecking 🙂
