Thanks! I try to use this journal to give the full 360 feel of how real trading feels day to day, including those good bad and ugly moments of day-to-day. I am glad if you (and hope another few too, maybe?) appreciate this!

My way to highway

the final update: well, it cost me, dearly. pretty much wiped the past 2 weeks, some "salary" i was counting on...cos the month was up, nicely...was. part of why i am uhappy that "friends" were nagging me one to close the drawdown, one to hold on to ...

the proverb goes something like this: "the night is always darkest before down" sometimes when it is feeling the most painful it might as well the final push to shake out the weak hands. it is a very difficult decision to make for sure, i am facing ...

update: back to squire#1...got a power outage when i just had the chance to lighten position at approx BE, and by the time got tablet on, was enough to have a huge jump of extra 60 pips drawdown...tough life. drowdown back to about -3%, give or take ...

My way to highway

always the big question. your own drawdown tolerance tells when to stop. sometimes it saves you from big loss, sometimes it robs you from rebound. tough choice to make!!

update: the GBP news i was little too early...like 100 pips or so. pretty upsetting, then to compound the "mistake" after GU, opened some GJ positions too. drawdown ran out of hand rather quickly, to as high as approx -6-6.5%! cant tell for sure, ...

thanks, i see. if ever passing at my journal, feel free to ask about a trade, any trade.

Trading Journal (only my take)

basically 7 charts. 5 stays usually, 2 change as per currency strength hints where i might find my sort of preferred setups.

My way to highway

hi good luck with your journal! a small request: attaching a TE would greatly enhance the transparency, for you, and few of those other non FTs you refer too. would also be a nice help tool to check the afterlife of the posted trades; easy, neat, ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

thanks, maybe i will take you up on it to settle the GuyBaker vs RedOctober issues, but not in the moment. i dont have problem to believe in long term profitability being possible. but doesnt mean some others might.

Parabolic SAR Is Simple to Use & Quite Reliable

here is another scalp, not my typical pair or timeframe, but worked out fine enough. EurChf, M1 TF. 8 pips net. if there is a chance, and by the PC, why not? (this isnt the news, but the aftermath 90 min later...)

My way to highway

to make things then more into showing your current effort, a hint: TE lets you to set a custom start date, where not whole account history included. set January 2017, if that you feel is your current approach's best reflection.

Parabolic SAR Is Simple to Use & Quite Reliable

RedOk, maybe the pdf isnt real, but that isnt the major point here... macrandie's TE is real ( as in visible demo!). and that demo is showing everything but real great trading. can like or dislike the fact, can argue about what investment or trading ...

Parabolic SAR Is Simple to Use & Quite Reliable

quick look at your trial... 16 trades, 10 win, 6 loss...62% win rate... all is good. NOT! the good news, only down -4.5% in 4 days. the bad news, even with the good win% rate, your losses way larger than your winners, and you bleeding cash. ...

Going live again after failure(s)

some morning fun scalping EurAud after the news. not my usual trading time though, but if up and there is some opportunity why not. clearly little early on the first entry, and a nasty slippage ( negative) on last single etnry's exit...not to ...

So I tested too... Here an example. My w% average approx 82% all trades all days. My Tuesdays were standing out, at 97% win averages. This Tuesday I thought either you guys are right, and it is no reversal in my stat toward mean, and I trade heavy ...
