OK, last post for a bit. I've just seen an exchange between 2 traders. Both doing exactly as I have previously said, ie trying to impose their own view on what the market will do in a stubbornish way. What they fail to understand is that they both ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

....As a result, in theory, only genuine traders fulfilling these initial main rules will post trades and I don't expect many (if any) will. Evidently, no one fulfils the main thread rules, which was intended for quality postings not quantity, well ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

TP1 hit and 25% taken from both TP2 & TP3. Stops adjusted. Now zero pressure, and yet I still have 2 open live positions in play, pretty good, and pretty simple. All logical, so, to anyone viewing and interested enough, what would you be looking to ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

OK..a quick update. Slow progress, recent resistance levels are the obstacles to overcome, and that is where my 1st tp level is actually sitting. If/when tp1 is hit, then I'll be in a good place to further manage other positions and add-ons etc as ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A poster recently said that he wants to better himself, presumably via trading. It's a pretty typical aspiration, and which is fair enough. This person clearly thinks that posting charts on FF, which is a very simple action, is part of the solution ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

NU long set now in play live. The conditions that I need are in place, and I'll add on, adjust, exit, take pp and generally manage the set as it plays out through the week etc etc as and when required along the same lines as I've illustrated in all ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Everyone note. Post 1 outlines the rules for posting charts and trades here. Anything less will be deemed by me as nothing more than bs FT's and will be dealt with immediately. I may accept an occasional educational chart for clarification, but ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Hi, I'll assume you have read everything I've said in this thread, and I mean everything. That being the case, and it complies to the rules, then go ahead and post. On that basis, you will not be negatively criticised by me I assure you. but you may ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

There are thousands of ways to trade of course, and each individual will see things differently. With so many ways, it is actually not surprising that so many lose, because the majority rarely stay focussed on one method long enough to fully ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

OK...no change, time to close out now with the unpredictability of NFP fast approaching, and be more than satisfied with gains made, and start the process again next week.

Trading Journal (only my take)

The plans for this week played out well and without too much hassle..... GJ and EN now closed out for good profits, I'll leave AN for a bit longer, but looking to close out in the next hour or two and before NFP. image

Trading Journal (only my take)

Initial short in play at 151, which is a better price than I expected to enter, and also about a day earlier than I thought. This is part of the precision topic I talked about....sometimes better, sometimes worse, it's what it is and the nature of ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I have just taken a small market order entry on both AN and EN in accordance to my conditions via D1. I may need one or two bites at these to be fair, hence the smaller sizes, and as they are swing trades, then I don't expect immediate market ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A bit of a heads up from my perspective only, I'll be looking to short GJ in the next 2 or 3 days by the looks of things, tap is not bad right now, but the trigger not quite right just yet though for me.

Trading Journal (only my take)

Yeah I've seen that you're making efforts to improve those areas that need strengthening up. I'd expect you to achieve an acceptable level, and there are one or two of my posts that talk about the subjects you've mentioned which might help you. As ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I should say also, that I played around with various combinations of indicators and whatnot early on, changing this, adding that etc etc before I realised what aspect was missing.... and the one thing that is always constant..... time! So cut a long ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Hi Steve, Yeah I could, but tbh my story is probably similar to most others, but the main difference being that we both tell the truth, warts n all, 99.9% of the rest are full of bs. Anyhow, I have made many mistakes in my trading journey, but the ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

The majority of the trades that I enter are from pending orders, and as I've said before, roughly about 50% trigger, which is acceptable for me, and 50% don't trigger, which is also acceptable. I do use market orders at reduced size quite often for ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

I haven't posted live trades lately, there seemed little point with no direct gain to do so, and have limited myself to my ideas of what trading is all about instead along with any other views I may feel like expressing, and as result, I am very ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Certain people talk about the need for a precision entry. What these people do not understand is that precision is totally relative. A scalper will need a much more precise entry for example than a swing trader, and that is one of the reasons that I ...
