OK I have been posting in Forex Factory for a while now... I have been posting my results in different threads and now I think it is time to do it properly... Keep a proper Journal. In this thread I will be adding my daily debriefs i.e. What trades I took, why and what the emotions were that I felt during the trades. My aim is to show that with a strict set of rules which are followed to the letter you can be successful in this Arena. Despite the emotions you feel during a trade if you have planned properly and have enough confidence in the setup then you will eventually overcome all obstacles and make the transistion to professional trader.
Now to some rough guidelines as to what I will be doing:
Session
London 6am - 3pm
Pair
GBP/USD
System
Basic Breakouts
Lots
2 Lots
Timeframe
15 Minute Chart
Overall Summary
I started keeping a written journal back towards the middle of October and I have found that this has really helped my trading. So I thought that it was only right that I bring you guys up to date on where I am since I started to keep a journal.
In October I had 13 trades, 11 winners and 2 losses. In total I made 155 pips on my first lots and 321 pips on my second lots coming to a total of 476 pips for the month of October.
In November I have had 2 trades and 2 winners. My first lots total is 40 pips and my second lots total is 0.
Since starting a journal I have had 15 trades, 13 winners and 2 losers. I have accumalated a total pip count of 516 pips profit....
Guys please feel free to add your thoughts, ask questions or simply follow my progress....
