Hi,
I am starting this trading journal to collect my thoughts, analysis, charts, records, etc. all in one place. I have been studying and trading the FX markets for a little over 2 years. I long ago left the retail FF community in favor of the academic research/textbooks. I have a strong understanding of order flow, market microstructure, price and liquidity's interaction, momentum, crowd behavior, dealer risk management tactics, etc.
I primarily trade the 3 kingdoms (borrowed from FTI). This includes EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY. I also usually track one asset that is being talked about in the news because they usually have strong trends, high volatility, and offer great trading opportunities. Ideally this would currently be Light Crude Oil or Dow Jones Index, however, since my broker needs a higher margin requirement for those assets I am currently tracking emerging market currencies such as USD/RUB. Anyone is welcome to chime in with their views.
I may or may not share my trading method. Maybe I will post bits here and there. For now just know I manage my account like it's a trading book, I day trade with 1M but use all time frames to predict potential order flow, and my motto is buy low, sell high. The main focus of this thread is to track the progress of my book and a place to keep all of my analysis. These posts are mainly for me, but if you find any value or have any insights, you're more than welcome to reply. I will update this introductory post with more in depth information about my trading style later when I have time, but for now I want to go ahead and start posting analysis for the upcoming week.
