I bought a new monitor from DELL
This is going to help me gather the information by having 2 monitors, one of them showing charts and the other one showing news, trading signals and fx rates. I am planning to replace my older monitor with the same type later this year if all goes well...

Terrible Day
I stepped outside of my trading scenarios yesterday and I lost all my profits in 10 minutes. I was tired and my judgment was terrible. I need to stick to the trading pattern and not deviate from it. I need to add a new rule to stop trading if I suffer a large loss. I will post the transactions summary tomorrow.

I forgot the market was closing at 4pm on Fridays, I was not able to close a Sell trade on the USD/YEN so I expect to get hit with a steep lost on Sunday when the market re-open...oh well...lesson learned.
