what I learned this week was that on my trend catching method, I need to just take profit at trouble areas, and not leave that gigantic stop in hopes of closing the trade before the weekend with even more profit. My AUDUSD trade was up over 250 pips ...

I should note that the reason I'm posting this is because I did close ALL POSITIONS before the weekend, so I have a fresh slate on sunday night.

corn, -0.3% soybean, +0.7% gold, -0.5% nat gas, +1.5% crude: no trade silver: no trade I didn't position size these demo trades, but I did the math on the trades as far as S/L, and my initial risk. You will notice I killed my corn trade manually ...

hey mike,

feels nice to add 0.8% to your account during a week when the average Joe-investor is getting steamrolled it's only crazier to think that my trades that got taken out at B/E were all well into profit at one point in their lifetime

james16 Chart Thread

these market conditions can be very agravating... one minute you are cruising on 200+pips, the next second you are stopped out at B/E.... *sigh*

252 pip trailing stop hit. I was planning on just leaving the big trailing stop, and closing my positions right before the weekend, instead my s/l got smacked Just barely in profit. these whipsaw markets have been real frustrating.

keep practicing. Honestly that's all you can do. you can sit here and read this stuff all day, but until you put a real effort into your very own methods, you won't accomplish much. Make your own mistakes, write it down somewhere, fix it, move on.

Make a journal where you post EVERY TRADE that you take, it will transform you as a trader.

At least you post your trades here.... most don't, for obvious reasons

this one is using the exact same logic as the AUDUSD trade. 1% risk

trend catcher, 1% risk. Live account.

I would never take it short. and I think there's better opportunity in the current market condition than that I4B for a long position. If it breaks south first, then starts to head back up, I think I would CONSIDER buying it as it breaks the old ...

I feel like this week I have taken a TON of trades, but for the most part, they have been doing very well

Dan's Self-Honesty Journal

ok, the gold pinbar, price never broke it, and my buy stop never got hit, the trade never happened. sad day..... also, I took the BEOB on EURJPY and it closed up at B/E. my nat gas trade, I'm taking full profit @ 4.000, S/L is currently at B/E.
