I’m finally getting on top of the selection criteria and can verify that it only takes about 15 minutes to check the cards for the day. Hopefully with practice, I’ll get this down to 10 minutes - which at the current strike rate would be well worth the effort.

Just a quick update on The Selector software. It came to my attention today that the current discounted price for this package will come to an end tonight. At the moment it is being sold with a $100 discount, which is about fifty quid, so for anyone that is interested in getting this, it might be worth considering getting it today to take advantage of the discounted price.
Now, I’ve only been testing this for six days so I’m not in a position to be able to recommend it or not, although this week has done very well. However, according to the developers the results for July have been 21.4 points at SP (£1070 at £50 level stakes) or 33.68 points at Betfair SP (£1684 at £50 level stakes).
Of course I can’t confirm this but the product is sold with a 30 day money back guarantee so I’m just letting you know.

A lot of sideways movement this morning resulting in a 9 pip loss on the GBP/USD as the market bounced back up hitting my trailing stop. There were lots of economic news releases schedualed for 1.30pm today and so I steered clear of any trades this afternoon until after this. At 1.30 the market dropped suddenly then jumped straight up like a bullet. I guess not good news for the strength of the dollar. No trades after that.
I had some good advice from Gaz today regarding news announcements:
“From what I gather you should never be in a trade or enter 15 minutes prior to an announcement. However, it does depend on the importance of the news. If its a high impact news item follow these rules, if it’s only a medium impact then its usually pretty safe to stay in the trade. Forex factory.com tell you before hand which of the news item are eith er high, medium or low impact.”
And Terry offered this:
“Just a thought about economic announcements: we discussed them a couple of
weeks ago and I thought it might be a good idea for you to stop trading at
lunchtime tomorrow as it is the day of the NFP announcement, which always
has a large effect on the dollar markets, particularly in the present
economic climate. The figures come out at US market opening time, 13.30 our
time and they can move the market as much as 100 pips in a few seconds on
occasion. The brokers defend themselves against this by increasing spreads
to as much as 20 pips and/or shutting down their desks for minutes at a
time. Not nice if you are speculating on the figures.”
So good to know for anyone trading tomorrow. Cheers guys.
