ER2

+16.60

$1,660.00

EuroFX EC

+0.0162.00

$2,025.00


Trading Perspective: Excellent volatility today and the new Fed Chairman Benanke along with the pending 1030am est EIA Petroleum Status Report produce good follow-through to profit targets.

Further, although trading in ER2 was accordingly to the trading plan...the new "volatility strategy" for trading EuroFX EC finally produced a big winner. It's absolutely critical there's no chasing with this strategy and the trade management must be respected when WRB pt levels are reached.

In fact, most of my earlier losses in the month for trading EuroFX EC was the result of poor trade management after entry. Hopefully by end of year I can add this strategy to either the Swing Trading Report or the Trading Manual
