Strong BUY signal on this one, lets see where the market takes us

Thursday, January 11, 2007

Sell 13000 HVN-ASX @ 4.06

There up 2.79% today alone so this has been a good trade, closed the position at 4.06 for a tidy profit of $2470.

Currently have no open positions

See what happens when you break the rules.

Got stopped out of TLS @ 4.15 on very thin volume over the holiday period, it then proceeded to drop to 4.03 still not hitting the target and is now back up around 4.11. Anyway we live with it and go grab a coldey to drown the sorrows.

SELL 25000 TLS-ASX @ 410

IF DONE
BUY 25000 TLS-ASX @ 415 ON STOP
OCO
BUY 25000 TLS-ASX @ 401

Ok so this one is a bit of a gamble, going against the strong uptrend. Will be proved wrong at 415, however if it falls will easily get 401. Grab a beer boys.

The Thirsty Trader

Welcome to the Thirsty Trader, here I will be posting my trades in real time for all to share. Firstly I'll give you a bit of background about myself. I live in Sydney and started share trading on the ASX, moving on to trade Futures on the Asian Financial markets namely the SPI, NIKKEI, HANG SENG and TAIWAN untill eventually trading Futures on the Global Financial markets namely the FTSE, DAX, S&P E-Mini's and Nasdaq E-Mini's.

Now I feel I have gone full circle, having searched the world for trading opportunities and having both made and lost a lot of money through both Discretionary and Mechanical models I felt it was time to sit down and do something different, I have thrown out a lot of so call "Rules" and have taken my own approach to Trading, my style may or may not be for you, mainly I will be trading Contracts for Difference (CFD) on Shares in the ASX, however will also be posting my trades for International Financial Index Future's contracts.

So sit back, grab a beer and come along for the journey with the Thirsty Trader and see how I go.
