-$6.65 $331.29
So it was a weird morning, GDP numbers came out negative but didn’t seem to have much affect on EUR/USD but GBP/USD kept falling. Pound has been falling hard even yesterday, so I decided to stay away from it since it was acting irregular. And EUR/USD was a headache as it did not know it’s direction. Lost money on EUR as it was going up and down, but I recovered back a majority of it. It wasn’t till the end that I was going to call it quits around -$25 but decided to take another go at it and pulled through some lost pips. Next week will be the first trading day of February, hopefully it won’t be as bad as January. This month has actually been a nightmare but I also learned a lot from it.
Week 4: -$147.48 -30.8%
Start: $478.77
Finish: $331.29
This week has been tough, but more importantly could’ve been avoided with better trading psychology and focus. Made silly mistakes which were quite costly. Next week I will improve on controlling my emotions and trading with discipline rather than impulse.
