Up £400 today – Friday’s live trading…
Just the one trade taken in today’s video. It was fairly straight forward but would have been nice if I could have had more entries…

Hello Charlie
No comments at time of writing? So you dont think nobody is watching, perhaps I could say I appreciate the trade, and also the comment on Monday when you suggested the “sister” trade of USD/JPY, I was a bit late on this but after the pull back on Thurs, bought on Friday and made some pips, this looks like a runner?
Any thoughts about how to play the volatility which will be likely around the referendum?
Regards Brian
Hi Brian. Thanks for your message. Remind me closer to the time and I’ll cover my tactics going into the referendum.

Hi Charlie – I am just getting into swing trading and was wondering, do you often hld trades like this over the weekend? And if so are you not concerned about the market gapping against you and suffering significant slippage?
Thanks! J
Hi john
The only way to make significant gains on swing trades is to hold on for more than just a few days. Slippage is part of trading so no it doesn’t concern me but if I was in a trade on a Friday that get close to my stop then maybe I would close it but outside of that no I love holding onto swing trades. I wouldn’t have made 1100 points earlier this year if I had closed out because of a weekend. But don’t get me wrong, I won’t trade markets that are susceptible to large gaps anyway.

You always talk about adapting how do you do it and in the webinar videos you also said the account was going flat around 27k if I’m not wrong so how do you need to know when to change the strategy or stop trading define adapting?
Hi Rahul.
Yes during the challenge there were several stages where the account would go flat as the market conditions changed. How do I know when to adapt? I will discuss this in this week’s final 10k challenge webinar.
