Hi Yoda, yes I did a long post and didnt want to crowd you so deleted it. I appreciate your candour with your posts. I will also share a bathroom story. Superman was released circa 1979. I was 6 years old. I remember the Niagara Falls scene as ...

My lifestyle away from the chart

"I do not yet know how to "anticipate" a "realistic" profit target in order to set a take profit order to the exact pip value needed for a "specific" reward to risk ratio, " 1-anticipate the unexpected 2- I'm not sure theres such a thing as ...

Reward to risk ratio

After the false break up I wouldve sold mid channel with SL above the high above channel. Well done scalping a long in that scenario. Interesting. Alternatively I would've longed when it first went above 12350 (mid channel) and been stopped out or ...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - A Real Trading Record

Hey JuniorA , good luck. I'm keeping a journal too, "keeptrying". One thing I'm enjoying (well not really enjoying , but finding beneficial) is posting charts of my trade to visually see what happens as the trade evolves, and then reviewing. It ...

Hi Oldtraderman, I have enjoyed perusing the last few pages of your thread, thanks so much. I appreciate your stance with "scratch" trades. Simple, unambiguous. I like to enter multiple trades when trigger is met, which leads to multiple TP options ...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - A Real Trading Record

Yes at the very least I'm providing a community service for trading errors and experiences lol. I think it's good for me, public is very different. Here I am beating myself up for a 5% loss in a week and thinking I need to decrease lot size to .05. ...

Off to real work today for the next 6 days.. Some thoughts for next week. Dont commit more than 2 trades until confirmation, then another 2 can pyramid in. Dont hunt reversals, hunt PA. Be open to both bull and bear Don't feel bad about TP nor ...

Had a woeful AUDUSD revenge trade I don't even want to discuss. Finished for the week.

Went for run and came back just in time to watch SL hit. Nice. Should've TP at least 1/3 when at resistance. Of my 3 trading days, i've managed to TP too early when trades could've run, and not partial TP when trades have turned. That's forex for ...

Mistakes made so far publicly.. -Entering a trade 80min before red news event thinking i'd be able to lock in a profit before the news, and that the trade would be kind enough to counter trend in the process for me. -Closing fantastic winning trades ...

update. Nice bear 5min candle but it needs to break through support and we have news in 40min. SL at total risk $18 NB SL hit on 1, manually closed to for loss. I was hoping it would break through support prior to news which was hopeful in ...

I'm not a fan of AUDUSD normally, I hate it's PA, but im nibbling with this. Obviously I want it to proceed below the 50/100 SMAs. At the very least I think a touch is likely and I will pursue or abort my trades pending that PA. My decision was also ...

what caused the spike on open? Not on other yen pairs nor AudUSD

Ok so this journal should be a fair account of my trades and my thoughts, so here's an explanation for my afternoon trades. I hunt reversals during the Asian session, I thought AJ might be about to turn , indicated by 5min reversal with lower high, ...
