I thought I'd use this journal to put up pic's and explinations of trades and why I took them. It may help others and will give me something to look back on to see what went right and what didn't. Any questions or comments are welcome, however I'd like to keep this thread as friendly as possible!
I tend to keep away from forum websites as I find them distracting, I'm sure most of us do. You find a trading system then 3 days later you see another promosing you untold riches from a so called full-time trader. I'm not a full-time trader, I do this part-time and I make mistakes like anyone else.
I tend to use higher time frames. Analyses tends to be daily or weekly, entry tends to be daily or 4hr. however if i'm free for time and chart watching i'll enter as low as 5min. My trading style revolves around

- Big RN bounces
- trend line breakout/returns
- 'fakey's' or zone pullbacks
- HH, LH or LL, HL breakouts
- 200 ma trades
I use 2 different brokers, only one of these uses MT4 (my prefered charting). So some of my pic's will show entries while others will not.
I will try (time permitting) to show trades i'm looking at and why.
