2013 so far...


Well,  we are 2 months into 2013 and I have been very pleased with my results so far this year.  But I’m not going to get carried away.  During January and February we were presented with a lot of trading opportunities mainly down to the fact that we had a lot of clean trends across currencies and stocks,  and as a short term trend follower, these have been ideal conditions to trade in.  However, as March approaches I have noted an increase in whipsaws and volatility.  The below USD/JPY chart shows exactly what I’m talking about.  

I expect March to be a difficult month and I shall approach the markets with caution.   Part of being a successful trader is knowing when to stand aside!
