Definitely did not end the week the way I wanted to. My system responded poorly to the actions by the FED and other currencies as a result of the reported corona virus cases. I usually trade with tight stops but that's when I'm on a lower time ...

Ending the week hitting my goal and then some. Started off based on the current plan behind by $13 and needing to finish with $38 to be on track. I was able to do that with and added an additional $78. So being ahead is always a good thing. Focused ...

I'm done for the week. Decent return percentage, 15.6% and profit considering I'm sticking to the plan and lot size. Getting a lot better at cutting my losers quickly and or scratching as I try to manage my draw downs. Anyway, ahead of schedule so ...

Not a bad week overall. Markets went kinda funny style during the middle of the week. Gave back some but it's all good. I'm most likely done for the week unless I get a trade signal that won't result into a carry trade over the weekend. Good luck to ...

Unless I get a trade signal I'll be sitting out the rest of the day. I've reached my profit target for the week based on the plan and I'm already at the profit target for the month. Keeping in mind it's a marathon

Done for the day. Not bad. Actually hit the profit goal for the week already so I'm going to be extra selective picking my trades. Also, getting better psychology wise taking scratch trades. Honestly, wish I would have started doing that sooner.

So far I have completed two weeks of this challenge. This has definitely been a bit of an eye opener. You really don't know what you know or what you will do until you're trying to pull off specific goals. That said, I am behind based on the chart. ...

Bit of an interesting trading week but I'm still green and on target. Gonna carefully pick my spots tomorrow if I trade at all. As I definitely want to go into the 3rd week ahead for sure.

Gave back more pips back than I wanted to at the end of the day yesterday. Should of walked away while I was ahead. But anyway, had a decent day today. Still coming out ahead. Let's see what the rest of the week brings.

Spent the entire weekend going over my trades from the first week, reviewing and updating my trading plan. Looking forward to the week ahead. And although my trade explorer says 82 pips for the day it's actually 46. I carried over a trade from ...

Definitely did not end the 1st week of the challenge the way I envisioned. I'm in the hole. I also know why. I'm going to spend some time reviewing my trades this weekend, taking a few notes, and re calibrating for next week. It's gonna take some ...

I did everything you're not supposed to do trading wise this morning Decided I was gonna wake up early and trade the London Session (4am EST). Figured I'd snag a few pips and be done for the day before it was time to start work (7am). ...

The day started out kinda rough. Trying to trade and multitask (working from home), etc, etc. I managed to salvage the day and actually recover with 10 pips. Definitely gonna have to shoot just a tad higher for my minimum due to the commission ...

What a difference a few days make Long story short. Nothing never works out how "you" plan. I am starting to become a firm believer in that fact. Let's just say the amount of drama I went through attempting to setup my offline environment ...
