130 Pip Profit - GBP/USD (British Pound/US Dollar)

I have closed my trade on GBP/USD at 16130 (which I opened on Sunday night) for 90 Pip profit.
Although my target was 70 pip profit target, as the move was volatile I trailed the stop. Could have picked up another 15/16 pips but as it started to retrace thought it best to close the trade.

60 Pip Profit - NZD /USD (New Zealand Dollar/US Dollar)

I have closed my trade on NZD/USD at 7723 (which I opened on Sunday night) for 60 Pip profit.
I still have the GBP/USD (British Pound/US Dollar) trade open with a 70 pip profit target.

I have placed 2 orders in the market to buy the following currency pairs at the following prices -
GBP/USD - 16040 and NZD /USD - 7663
GBP/USD appears to have broken resistance at 16000 so could be a good move. I am looking at least for a 70 pip profit on this trade. If the move is volatile, I might trail the move with the stop loss.
I have selected these currency pairs based on the analysis using my trading strategy. Will see how the trades progress in the next few days.

Bonds rise and Dollar slips

Amid prospects of more Federal Reserve monetary easing next week, Bonds rose and the Dollar slipped. This possibility coupled with the outcome of the US elections is likely to have some bearing on the major currency pairs.
Will be monitoring soon after Wednesday to identify trading opportunities.

Royal Dutch Shell Plc looking good

A good earnings report from oil giant Royal Dutch Shell helped the UK FTSE 100 index rise this morning. Among regional indexes the U.K. FTSE 100 index was the best performer.
I will be monitoring Royal Dutch Shell stock in the next few days to place a buy order. The company has good fundamentals and technicals. There was a 88% rise in third-quarter profit for the stock as oil and gas production rose

Employment Report negative but US Stocks and Indices up

Despite the negative Employment Report on Friday, U.S. stocks and major U.S. stock indexes were up. The markets think further quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve is the prospect and that the Federal Reserve will be aggressive to prevent economic growth moving into the doldrums again.
The Dow ended 0.53% or 57.90 points up, the highest close above 11,000 since 3rd May. The last time it closed above that was 11 years ago on 3rd May, 1999.

US Stocks and Indices up

There were great gains on U.S. stocks and major U.S. stock indexes. A combination of the Bank of Japan saying that it will maintain its near zero interest rate policy and the Institute for Supply Management services index rising to 53.2 in September from 51.5 the previous month helped stock gains.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 193.45 points at the close

Small loss - Johnson Matthey and Admiral Group PLC

The other 2 trades on the UK stocks Johnson Matthey and Admiral Group PLC which I opened on Monday did not move as expected. I closed both trades on Friday with a small loss (Johnson Matthey closed at £17.61 (£17.74 - £17.61 = 0.13 x 100 shares = £13) and Admiral Group PLC closed at £16.28 (£16.69 - £16.28 = 0.41 x 100 shares = £41). Total loss £54.

Not too bad as losses in trading are a matter of course and as long they are kept to a minimum, they should not affect the profit on the overall trades.

RandGold Resources trade closed in Profit

I have closed one of the 3 trades on UK stocks - RandGold Resources I opened at the start of this week.

The trades on the other 2 stocks Johnson Matthey and Admiral Group PLC are still open as they are still slightly below the opening prices of Monday. I hope there will be a bit of movement tomorrow otherwise will have to close those trades.
