Category: May 2019 Currency Paper Trades

These are my paper trades as I am going through the Apiary Fund training program.

EUR/USD trading 5/16/2019

Today was a live trading that I observed as part of the course perks from Apiary Fund this has been a great course and experience to acclimate me to currency trading.

In the trading session I only took one trade I’m working with indicators more and waiting for the right trade and position. In my first trade I watched for an ideal entry and found a nice short position that gave me a quick 3.6 PIP gain in about a minute. I exited this trade a bit quick as the move continued to a possible almost 8 PIPs before it reversed.

After the live trading webinar I took four more trades on the long side these took a bit longer to become profitable and didn’t give as much gain. One I basically broke even with the spread adjustment, the next I made 8 points, followed by two more that I was able to close for 1.9 and 1.5 PIPs before it reversed. All in all not a bad set leaving me up 8.3 PIPs for today. I’m working through some of the Apiary Challenges specifically the two days with no losing trades currently. Made it yesterday and so far on course to finish that goal today.

Until next time happy trading and be sure and control your losses as that is all we have control over.

Blessings and Harmony,

My apologies it has been a while since I’ve posted, life gets crazy not to make excuses these are the times I need to find more drive and dedication to keep up with what I love instead of letting life take all my energy.

That being said I’ve shifted my focus a bit for the time being to currency markets. I do still keep an eye on Penny Stocks and more than plan to be bringing them back up from time to time at least. As I am working to build my accounts and pay bills though I am looking at Apiary Fund to help as I become a full time professional trader. They will fund an account for you to trade with once you pass their courses and prove you can be consistently profitable. I am currently working my way through this program and getting very near the funded account.

The chart above is on the day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) met. I had been trading a bit that day and was up over 26 PIPs. I didn’t trade this, but looking back at the signals there was definitely a signaled short opportunity as both the long and short term HMAs turned red. I was watching this live as the meeting took place and the more they talked the further down it went. It was my first FOMC meeting trading day so I didn’t know what to expect and because of that I avoided taking a trade. The next couple days were shaky and stability took a bit to return and cost me more PIPs than I’d expected to lose. As I’m figuring more of the signals out and starting to get into the flow I’m planning to journal and post more.

If you are interested in learning I would encourage you to look at my Resources Page and give Apiary Fund a look to see if it is right for you.

Until next time may you manage your trades well and always control your losses.
