October 2009 Review
I had great intentions of doing a good bit of posting last month. There was even a decent amount of market action and trading news to comment on. Work and family commitments conspired against me. What little free time I had left was spent unwinding playing IL2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey.
My actual trading was not impeded and I had nine trades closed out during October. Five winners and four losses. Not a great ratio but the results make for much better viewing.
My (demo) account equity grew by 12.52%.
This is definitely a monthly return that I’m happy with. My goal is 10%, so having gotten past that mark was gratifying.
Since I was unable to review these trades on a day by day (or even week by week) basis, here’s the blotter on how they unfolded:
| Entry Date | Exit Date | Market | Direction | Entry | Exit | Pips |
| 30 Sept | 1 Oct | EUR/USD | Short | 1.4647 | 1.4547 | 100 |
| 2 Oct | 2 Oct | EUR/USD | Short | 1.4547 | 1.4647 | (100) |
| 2 Oct | 6 Oct | EUR/USD | Short | 1.4622 | 1.4722 | (100) |
| 2 Oct | 5 Oct | EUR/USD | Short | 1.4597 | 1.4697 | (100) |
| 6 Oct | 14 Oct | EUR/USD | Long | 1.4747 | 1.4897 | 150 |
| 6 Oct | 14 Oct | EUR/USD | Long | 1.4697 | 1.4897 | 200 |
| 19 Oct | 20 Oct | EUR/USD | Short | 1.4954 | 1.4904 | 50 |
| 26 Oct | 26 Oct | EUR/USD | Long | 1.4972 | 1.4872 | (100) |
| 27 Oct | 28 Oct | EUR/USD | Short | 1.4872 | 1.4722 | 150 |
So when all was said and done I had accumulated 250 pips for the month. Here’s what the trades looked like on my charts. Oanda only tracks historical trades for about the last two weeks, so I have to show two charts to make sure that all trades for the month are displayed.
