Wed. 20 May 2015 I am watching the NZD/USD to possibly enter a short position. I have added the stochastic indicator that has helped me in the past to not stay in too long. I have to remember that my goal is consistently gaining 20+ PIPs each day.

Wednesday, 20 May 2015 I have entered a short sell for the NZD/USD. I could have exited with a profit that would have helped me reach my 20+ PIP gain for the day, but I decided to stay in the trade. I am working to limit my trades and I knew the ...

Tuesday, 19 May 2015 I wanted to reduce the number of trades I have each day in order to gain my 20 to 30 PIPs. I realize using stochastic on 5 minute chars would cause me to close a trade to soon so I decided to find a better way. I decided that ...

Friday 1 May 2015 Today was a bad day for me and it ruined my week. I knew there were bank holidays and it was Friday which was enough to stay away but I didn't. I had a gain, but continued to trade and all of those trades were losers. I have to let ...

Thursday 30 April 2015 I closed my first trade for a gain of 6.2 PIPs because the price was stalling. I believed the price would continue up, but needed a period of time to start back up. I also thought it would pull back some before it went back up ...

Wednesday 29 April 2015 I had a nice run up to 17 PIPs, but although I knew the London session was opening in less than minutes I stayed. I violated my trading method to take my profit and then wait for the price to move back down to re-enter. I ...

Tuesday 28 April 2015 I had a gain of 5.1 PIPs today. I always fear that I may not follow my rules, and that happened yesterday and today. Because of not following my rules I did not achieve my daily goal of having a gain of 20 to 30 PIPs. I did ...
