Live Trading Day 17 - 21/12/2009

Must be careful when placing my stops, I put in an incorrect stop on a forex trade and stopped myself out. I made a profit but could have made more if the stop was placed correctly.

I'm not very good with paperwork and there is a lot more paper work involved in live trading than there was in paper trading. Hence I am now doing catch up paper work for the last week. Jeanette, my wife loves paper work and if it was her trading she would be up to date everyday and give reams of detailed information.
