Trade Summary
Euro did not seem to want to move much initially and it kept hovering in between the main Pivot and S1. At this moment of time, the Bollinger Bands were kept tight for quite sometime so Boi was hoping for a Trend breakout to occur. But sadly, it happened during his bedtime so trades was made during the day.
Boi made his first trade only in the morning, when he saw a buy signal near into London’s opening. But he soon realised that it was a false signal and closed it as fast as he could. Boi decided not to make any more trades and wait for London to open its day.

Trade Summary
After frustrated of not finding any good entries into the EURO, Boi decided to check on GBP/USD chart for opportunities to trade. He soon found a buy signal just an hour after London opened its door and entered a trade near the main Pivot line. Sticking with his goal of only 20 PIPS, he achieved that soon after only 40 mins into the trade.
He soon saw another entry position an hour after, when both the Williams36 and Stochastic indicates a strong buying signal and placed a trade just under the main Pivot line. He was pleased that he got 35 PIPS for that trade and promptly rested for the rest of the trading day.
