If you look at my profile, you will see that I have been in FF for 3 years. I wasted so much time and did not try to learn and apply knowledge. Not that I am a dumb person. I had an engineering degree and moved from one country to another country, acquired a MBA degree and worked in the software field with a decent job. Because of my full time demanding job, family commitment and living in the west coast, I hardly have any time to look at the chart when the market is active. I only have some time during Asian session. So, I have been taking short cuts. I used some of the break out systems here in FF and from Baby Pips. I used some MA cross over system and tried demo and then live for a short period of time and lost some money (not much). Even though I have my live accounts with Oanda, I am back to demo again. I want to watch the charts couple of hours in the evening (PST) and put limit order and then close them in the morning or may be next day. I got interested in some threads like Jacko, J16, Strat, Intraday trend trading (Sho) and want to use some kind of combination of all above and some other good threads. The only reason, I am opening this thread so that I can be disciplined and do not want to bore others with my silly trades in their threads. But I invite any one in a similar shoe to add their views, trades so that we all can learn together. Another problem with most thread that we see the picture after the fact with good explanation. But I don’t see the picture while it’s forming. So, may be my journal will help me to understand why I lost the trade and my lack of knowledge. If I just can reverse my thinking, I could be profitable as most of the time I loose. Enough for now..I will try to post some trades when I get time next time…
