Friday, new charts, no sleep

I did some work on my charts and came up with this style. I really love the way it looks. It's clean and very easy on the eyes.

I've been trading for the past 8 or 9 hours. Focusing on trading for this long has given me a great feel for the market. After watching things for that long you see how things develop and anticipate moves better. There were trades I wanted to take but didn't because I don't want to stay awake any longer.

I'm trading a lot smaller than I used to. I really prefer it though. There isn't any emotion involved. Focusing on achieving a performance target changes my trading too. No more going through the cycles of greed and fear in hopes of hitting a homerun. I'm more focused. I wait for setups, calculate risk, take some profits. It's much more business like.

But at this point in the morning I'm tired and want to go to bed. I had shorts in eur/jpy and gbp/usd which I closed too early. I'm going to avoid trading this late since my need for sleep is influencing my decisions.

Anyway, I'm up 5.78% since Tuesday afternoon.
