i closed out the balance of my swing trades (G/U; U/CHF; U/J; E/J; G/J). most were very very close to TP targets and up no less than 150 a piece (except for the U/J) and some as much as 250. didn't think it was worth it to stick it out for 20 pips & ...

wow. the E/U moved 150 in the last few hours. my swing trade from last week hit my target. 2.9% net profit. the rest of my swing trades are looking decent too (except for the U/J).

swing trades doing their thing and i haven't touched them. check. post-mortem for the week completed. check. the way i've designed my trading method, there really is very little discretion involved, but the TL breaks have been a real pain in the ...

well, ending the week on a negative note. my own fault. will work over the weekend on strategy for more discipline to pull the trigger & follow the signals (other than TL breaks as those seem to be a real bug-a-boo ... need to either ditch them & ...

still playing the second-guessing game, instead of just trading the signals. another missed opp which would be presently in the positive for 20+ pips. i got the no distraction thing right, but now battling my old demon friend, pull the trigger. next ...

over-analysis & second-guessing led me to pass on the last pullback. not sure when im going to get over this flaw in my trading discipline (never have any trouble pulling trigger on the losers now do i?) ... missed opp for 20 more pips which would ...

TL breaks have become a real nemesis for me ... CT obviously are the worst. it's funny how "the trend is your friend" becomes more and more applicable w/ more experience. going to add a filter to TL breaks (check MTF for relevancy). failing that, i ...

didn't stop there either. ended 1.7% to the bad.

my carelessness resulted in 0.7% net loss tonite instead of a potential 1.4% net gain. not a total blow out, but still not good.

i was off to a great start today. pulled trigger at the pullback -- was short-lived when i got duped by a reversal that didn't meet all my rules for reversing a trade i was in. so that's 2 losses and counting b/c i am now back in the pullback that ...

go live or bust ... diary of an fx live-trader-wannabe

in my attempt to make up for missing the last trade, i jumped into the market on an incomplete set-up and took a loss. saw a reversal entry (short ... duh) ... and jumped in. set my TP to the lower of the recent 4 hour swings & my alarms; crossed my ...

i am really disappointed over this one. same mistake i make over and over & it is totally fear based & trying not to be wrong & making predictions (and thinking that thinking about "order flow" & s/r is going to help me make a better decision than ...

poop. missed an entry at 3477 (in part due to second-guessing & in part due to me watching for a b/o long) ... will be good to 3450 it appears.

market is very slow. saw a pullback in the asian and jumped in for a quick 15 pips to the 3500 level (actually bailed at 3505 due to low volume). net 0.6%. followed & stuck to the plan/rules.

nevermind about trading tonite. only market that's open is asia & it's sideways. europe will be closed. that combined w/ NFP, makes for no trading.

weird feeling today. i, for the first time since i started this thread, actually think i will be going live very soon. not next week, but i think i might make first week in May my goal. this will all depend on how disciplined i can stay for the next ...

did a little math & learned that despite last nite's poor result, im up for the week on my hourly trades (E/U only).

surprise, surprise. the pin bar failed. despite being in a supremo location ... alright, well, it is NFP week & the market is hit and miss. did enter a pullback, then short again. ended up with a losing session, but did pull the trigger & the ...
