My month to date results for April 2007:

 # closed winning trades : 1

# closed losing trades : 2 

Net monthly profit (loss)% :  2.9%

A fairly uneventful week for the Cable Glider.  This morning I did not have my computer set up properly and I missed entering short at 9AM;  I did so at 9:10 AM, and luckily the price had only moved 5 pips lower.  The bad thing is that the trade was closed at a 4 pip loss, so the trading record for this month is 1 win and 2 losses, instead of 2 wins and 1 loss…mind you, that second win would only have been one pip! 

To recap the week then, my manual override followed by my Friday morning “slippage” had a net positive effect of approximately $3000 in my account, and I do believe that I will be slightly modifying the system later this month to remove unnecessary stop losses and unprofitable entry filters.  Anytime I can REMOVE things from the system and improve its results, that’s always a good thing. 

I’m glad to have escaped this holiday week with a small profit, and I’m eagerly awaiting Monday’s action, given the fact that the US stock market was closed today.
