Trading Journal: Hard Trading Week Due to the GBP Unexpected News
Dear traders,
Amidst the US elections, Covid and Brexit, the best semi-automated intraday system finally faced a losing week.
But fortunately, the loss was not big due to the unique money management approach. Last week’s total ended with -203 net pips and a -5.99 % loss.
12-Week Trading Result: 104 Wins & 41 Losses
The reason for the hard trading week was mostly due to 2 factors. The first and foremost factor is that each time we make intraday trade we need to be ready for out of the blue news as there are 3 ongoing crises: the US elections, Brexit and COVID.
For instance, during our GBP trading day, there was unexpected news about the EU-UK missing the mid November deadline to finalize Brexit. Because of that, we were stopped out of our GBP positions.
The other thing which has a remedy is overnight trading. On our GBPNZD trades both times we had initially winners. However, during the night the price went after 40 pips in profit into a stop loss.
Solutions? I have decided each time I leave the trade overnight to move the TP to +20 pips. My statistics showed that usually overnight the price goes in profit on average 20 pips before it turns the direction.
Also, due to the specific money management approach which you can learn along with the Black Widow course, the loss was not big and I expect next week to go in profit again.
