Most FOREX traders focus on the most popular currency pair which is EUR/USD. Lately I don't trade FOREX that much but I always keep the Windows currency gadget on my computer's desktop. The last days I noticed EUR/USD to be eager to reach out the 1.50 mark so when the gadget read 1.498 I immediately fired up my FOREX broker, Oanda. I went long on the pair as soon as it broke the resistance level at 1.5000 and have been making some easy money, since I have not traded out yet. I'll be exiting the market when a major bullish reversal pattern appears on the daily or hourly EUR/USD chart.

I started my trading journal this month, and with only one working day left I thought I should post my stock trading results. I have made 15 trades of which 4 are completed with minor profits, although merely one was a losing trading. The remaining 11 include a big winner gaining more than 15% that helped me end the month in profit. Here are all the stock trading charts of my trades with entry and exit points indicated in them.

I use Alpha Bank's web trading services as my online trading software to carry out my trading orders. I'm not a fan of dealing with banks when trading but I have opened my trading account there long time ago and I expected to be the easiest way to trade the Greek Market. Big mistake. Compared to overseas' trading platforms and professional web trading services, the Alpha Bank's web trading platform is miles behind. However, I was determined to give it a shot at least in the beginning. Now, after 2 weeks of active trading I am encountering a huge problem when accessing the stock data feed, and that is an occasional web browser's crash. What is even more disturbing is that I cannot login again once the browser has crashed, until 30 or 60 minutes have lapsed! And we all know how important time is in trading!

It's already been 2 weeks since I started trading the Greek Stock Market. I have completed one losing and one winning trade, while I still hold shares of 10 more companies, 7 of which are profitable trades for the moment. If I sold today everything, my trading capital would increase by 1%. That is not the case though, as most of them have reached neither the take profit point nor the stop loss. However I'm pleased by the total performance and I'll be buying some new stocks today, maximizing my total exposure to the market.

It's been already a week since I last updated my trading journal and I must admit this week was a good one. Out of 10 stocks I'm losing money in 4 of them, while I have moved my stop loss at 3 stocks, making them risk-free trades. That fact allowed me to decrease my total exposure and buy more stocks if I found it suitable. Indeed, I bought one more stock this morning which moved 3% up until the market's close. Things are looking good for the time being.
