11/8/12 +$600 (Natural Gas) DemoI'm not sure if brokers are getting more strict about news trading or if its just the brokers im choosing. I attempted to trade with a new broker with $100 in live money. SNW Elite entered a buy order and it was clicked in on my demo account but for some reason on the live account it didnt enter the…
11/5/12 -$490 (aud int. rate.)Today I attempted to trade the Australian interest rate at 10:30. In my effort to show the good with the bad I can honestly say this was a disaster. Thank God I only traded 2 lots instead of 5 like i was considering. It should of been an easy win but for some reason I was filled 20 pips above the 10…
11/1/2012 +$1300 (Natural Gas) DemoAnother great trade. 2 of my brokerage accounts were moving extra slow for some reason, as in not entering trades for 10 seconds after I press the buy or sell button. Only 1 broker acted right and that one made over $700 while the other 2 each made $320. I've allready contacted the 2 brokers to see…
10/24/2012 +$1120 (Crude Oil) Demo TradeCrude oil has hit again. I received a Sell2 trigger on snw elite and made 56 pips in one broker and 56 pips in another. My live broker was supposed to have the cfd's up last week but their still not up as of yet. Very frustrating. Anyway enjoy the video and thanks for watching..... (Go full screen a…
10/11/2012 +$1600 (Natural Gas) Demo TradeWell natural gas finally hit. Its too bad my broker hasnt added crude oil or natural gas as of yet. Guess patience is a virtue as they say. Any how everything went as it should of. One of my demo brokers had terrible spreads and the market gapped up upon the release so I only made about $360 but my …
PHD Money Every Month Review (B+)Well i've finished my first 30 days. The course was very thorough, so much so that even as a newby when I had to make adjustments nothing seemed unfamiliar and there were no surprises. The system does give a brief overview of options in general which I greatly needed as i was completely new to tradi…
10/2/2012 +$271 (AUD Interest Rate) Well as I predicted my next winner paid for the 2 back to back losers I had last month. Also I showed the extra funds I added giving me the ability to trade 5 full lots which I did. Unfortunately even with secret news weapon elite I was filled at the bottom of the spike and only managed 7 pips. I sh…
Review of PhD trading's money every month system coming soonJust wanted to give a heads up that I've purchased a system called "money every month" that focuses on stock options trading. I've looked into it before but not seriously, until now, and it looks like a good way to make consistent returns. I've gone thru the course allready and i've started testing …
9/26/2012 +$400 (US Crude Oil Inventories) Demo tradeI've known about gas and oil releases for some time now and finally decided it was time to start trading them. Mainly because my current live account broker said they'll be adding oil in the next 2 weeks and gas following later. For now I used 2 test accounts to get used to trading the release. Ever…
9/6/2012 -$.70 (ADP non farm employment)Well this was my first trade using secret news weapon elite, im not impressed. got a terrible fill. only lost about .71 cents so no big deal, hopefully the next release will be better. (Go full screen and switch quality to 720p to see the video better) …
9/5/2012-Secret News Weapon Elite test (CAD interest rate)Well I took the plunge and started my snw elite 30 day trial. I've familiarized myself with the basics so I decided to test it on the CAD Interest rate. I figured it wouldnt trigger so I set the no trade to enter a short. Everything went smoothly. I also showed how I use multi trade manager. I need …
9/2/2012-Multi Trade Manager Test (AUD Retail Sales)This was a test of the multi trade manager software. It worked properly on my live account. I only traded .10 lots as its a sunday and its also a holiday weekend so low liquidity was expected. I was triggered and made a tiny bit of money. I was able to close 75% of the trade and also move my stop t…
8/10/2012 -$85.34 (CAD Employment Change)Well here we go again. There was an early spike for this release, very similar to what we've seen with New Zealand and Australian news. Its obvious now that economic news is being leaked and average news traders like myself arent in on it so we get screwed. If everyone played by the rules there woul…
8/3/2012 -$86.61 (U.S. Non Farm Payroll)This should of been a wonderful trade, the news came out and the market spiked as expected. If things had happened as they should of I would of been filled long 1.1 contracts. I decided to test the EA vs the Auto Click today so I used 1 full lot for ea and .10 lots for auto click, this would show wh…
8/1/2012 +1.80 (GBP Manufacturing pmi)I traded this with small lots as a test, previously we got triggered and this spiked in the wrong direction so I wanted to see how it would react and also how my broker would fill me. I got filled about 12 pips into the move which isnt that great but not terrible either. As you'll see the market stu…
7/11/2012 +6.80 (AUD Employment Change)Well I gave this trade one last try and it let me down, again. Last time this was released there was a large spike and I was filled at the end of it. Here the exact same thing happened. I only traded .4 lots and made a total of 2 pips in profit so atleast I didnt lose money. There are lots of releas…
6/20/2012 +28.50 (NZD gdp q/q)In my ever increasing quest to treat news trading as a business and not a hobby i'm not going to be trading large lot sizes on trades that are questionable in my eyes. This release was questionable for several reasons. First of all it was released at a time where there's very low liquidity in the ma…
6/20/ 2012 Federal Fund rate (Binary Option Trade)This is a great trading opportunity. Bernanke announced some time ago that this rate wouldnt be changed until 2014 and I noticed that each release the market began moving in an up trend so trading binary options fit perfectly for this release. I decided to record this one but if you check the last 2…
6/13/2012 example of broker manipulationHere we have a great example of broker manipulation. As you'll see once the news comes out my platform completely freezes and doesnt start moving again for several minutes. If there was a spike and I had been triggered into this trade I wouldnt of been filled until several minutes later, or worse I …
6/6/2012 +$73.90 (AUD Employment Change)First of all the last 5 minutes of the video is out of sync, my computer froze while I was recording. Now to business, I attempted 3 things with this release. -The first was testing a straddle ea on a demo account-I used 15 as my pips away number and the market spiked down 16 pips before shooting s…
6/1/2012 +$219.90 (USD Non farm payroll)Today was a terrible trade. I was in a rush this morning so I dont have a live video but I did do a review of what actually happened, Everything that needs to be said is in the video. I'm happy to put this in the past and move on. I cant really complain tho, any day above break even is a good day. N…
Quick update.... New accountWell first of all, above you'll see a picture of my home office. Its made up of items from other systems i've had that I just put together, including the furniture. I only have 3 monitors at the moment but as I open more brokerage accounts I'll be upgrading my system to something more reliable. I'l…
5/16/2012 -$13.20 (GBP Claimant Count Change)Well this is another trade I wasnt expecting much out of, as such I only traded it with .3 lots. The spike was all but over before I was even triggered into the trade which means I got filled at the very top of the spike and took a small 4 pip loss, I got out fast mainly because gbp/usd was in such …
5/13/2012 +$2.10 (NZD Retail Sales)Yes you read that right, I made $2.10 cents on this trade. The market was dead and I traded this against my better judgement with very low lots, 0.3, and it basically did what I expected it to do. I was able to take .7 pips out of the market on this trade before it retraced very hard. This is why I …
5/11/2012 +$341 (CAD Employment change)I was a bit nervous with this trade as sometimes the unemployment number will deviate in a different direction as the employment numbers but that wasnt the case here. Everything went as it should and I was able to pull 30 or so pips out of the market. (Go full screen and switch quality to 720p to se…
5/2/2012 +$211 (NZ employment change, small move)After some technical difficulty yesterday I finally have the new broker working with my software properly. The move wasn't too big but its a good start, hopefully a sign of things to come. Also I didnt notice any broker manipulation so lets hope it stays that way. Lastly ill be moving my lot size u…
Im Back...Well its been a while since I updated my blog and Ive decided to start back doing so. I've been trading forex live now since January 2012, i actually doubled my account the first week of trading live and I had gains of 250% before my broker started playing tricks on me. I'm now with a new broker whi…
