Some spikes, but not massive on the news. Will need to stay focussed and see if there is anything around US open that works for me. But looking at things I dont think it will be anything today

No open trades on any accounts at the moment. UK CPI data out early, so will be sleeping and then US.

I could be missing out on huge moves, but risk management is key this month

15 January - So the day has started well, with a very lazy lay in. Dont normally do that, but not expecting to trade this morning so took advantage and just rested.

Will be waiting to see how things develop, but may just not trade today

GBPUSD 1H - Showing signs of recovery after the shocking fall of last week and better CPI data today.

Has started too hit a resistance level, so will wait and see if this breaks

GBPUSD 15m - The CPI data gave it an impulse to break out.

DID not trade this as just being safe, but would have been nice and a 2R

I have had a couple of good SHORTS on Gold today, after the pump up, so have done 1% today on my challenges, so going to stop for today and just relax and build some strategies

I need to up my game. In reality that is 1% in a month, but had a drawdown of 5% to get over first.

If I can keep this up, will look too pass phase 1 by end of the month

17 January - Last day of the week and last day of Biden as US president. Not sure if anything will happen, but I am being cautious and closing out my trades for today

UK FTSE100 is off the chart going up. Could this be the Trump effect already. I expect a hard crash at some point soon

20 January - limited trading today as US holiday and things may be wild.

Just hit to look at BTC to see how things are reacting today.

21 January - Back to normal today, so looking to find and share some good trades.

Still unsure on how the Trump impact will play out today when US comes back online. So will be cautious and see where things go

22 January - Looks like Gold is making a run for it and going for those All time highs. Will be a fun day

23 January - Not going to be trading today. There are storm warnings around me and will just rest and have a chilled day doing some research

30 January - Been taking a few days off to relax and close the month out. Nothing much happening for me, so will come back in February

3 February, already the year is flying by. really interesting day with some huge drops in Forex and indices. Will be just waiting to see what happens as US trade wars could really impact this weeek

4 February - Things look like they are settling down, but still some high prices on Gold. With 2820 being the new resistance levels can we see a break of this and 3000

No trades for me today. Just waiting and seeing how things react to some key levels. Not wanting to get wiped out by being greedy

5 February - Seems like GOLD is just going to the moon. Will see what news comes out to get investors going and back in to other assets

10 Feb - Start of the week and lots of action coming up

GBPUSD - 1H Price is coming back down to suppoort, but is also getting squeezed between longer term recovery up trend and short term selling.

Looking for a reaction to the level and take trade when it breaks out of the trend lines

GOLD is flying high again at 2900, when will this stop and a correction come in
