+12.2
(first trade 1.8, second trade 10.4)
I've gone a full week with all gains so this is a new milestone for me.
I kind of panicked and closed the first trade for fear ruining my win streak.
Lesson learned, learn to trust the Cyrinus Trend! I would've made that much more pips had I left the first trade open.

2-25-2009

+19.7
(First -3.2, Second +12.8, Third +10.1)
On the first trade I decided to short since it passed through the support line that I drew. I quickly got out when it went against me.
The other 2 I entered when the color shift occured in the Cyrinus Trend.

2-24-2009

+18.6

2-23-2009

+3.8
+10.7
Total Gain 14.5
On the first trade I should have closed the trade when it hit the target.
I'm now trading with the interval settings at cyrox 3, targeting 10 pips so I'm trading fewer lots.

2-22-2009

+14.3
Taking someone's advice and changed the interval to Cyrox 3 and zoom + 4 from all the way out.
Keep an eye out for the color shift in the Cyrinus Trend, any shift at all, there's about 6 pips movement.

2-19-2009

+10.4 today, the 2nd and 3rd pairs of arrows I didn't actually trade but I marked where I would've entered since I'm going to be trading London open almost exclusively. I might still monitor after Frankfurt opens 11PM PST.

2-18-2009

-5.6
-3.4
-8.4
total loss 17.4
Marked a spot where I missed an opportunity with a vertical blue line.

2-17-2009

+4.6, +5.5, -4.4
Total gain +5.7
A nice opportunity to make a lot of pips on that 2nd trade but I don't have enough experience to know if I should hold onto a trade after hitting the 6 pips.

2-16-2009

-4.7, -3.6, -7 total loss -15.3
Just one of those days. I'll have to accept that there will be days when I have losses. I'll have to do a better job of getting out earlier.

2-15-2009

+9.7
Learning to trust the indicators.

2-12-2009

+8.6
I waited for the flame (red line) to pass through the blue support line I drew.
Once it broke support I decided to short.

2-11-2009

+8.7
This might be considered too aggressive. I'm consulting with the more experienced traders and I will update this once I get an answer.

So I was told the market is very choppy here. Choppy flame (red lines) and a flat spine = stay out.
Lesson learned but fortunately I made a gain.

2-10-2009

-5.9
+1.3 (should've closed when i hit +6)
-6.5
Overall -11.1 I'm limiting the trades to 3 max if the first one is a loss.

2-9-2009

-26.7 Everything after this screenshot was bad trades. I got angry and tried to make back the money I lost and ended up losing even more. I need to set my limit to 3 trades if the 1st is a loss.

2-8-2009

+ 7.7 I usually do not trade at this hour (7:45 - 8:35pm PST) but an opportunity was there. I caught one on the down trend and another on the uptrend. Both of these trades were using the contrarian approach. I decided to try a 3rd trade which ended up at a loss. I made my 2% today so I'm happy with that.

2-5-2009

+8.3 I was tempted to short where I marked the chart with a circle. This wasn't the contrarian approach but I decided to short since the CyroxOsc, CyrinusTrend and CamillaTrend were all red. I accidentally clicked buy so I quickly closed that. The next trade I closed too early due to miscalculation on the math. The last was a 6.3 pip gain.

2-4-2009

+ 6.7 same contrarian approach as the previous day's. I'll be using this strategy from this point on.

2-3-2009

+13.8 pips
