Not sure how to start this thread as it's supposed to be a place for me to put my trades up for me to examine and not just an "Oh, I've learned from this trade" mental comment that soon is forgotten and repeated again for the same result, a loss.
But I guess that a Hi, at least, is in order so welcome to my trading journal
Hi
I've been trying my best the past couple of years to trade Forex successfully but to no avail. I've been reading posts, threads, PDF files. books, attended courses and still, I come out empty handed when it comes to be a successful trader.
I haven't given up hope. though. so here's where I'm going to post my trades and my thoughts and hopefully, I'll be able to learn and better myself, maybe even see a little profit
I love watching my charts. I love it. If I could, I would have set in front of my screen reading and watching charts all day, alas, my boss has a different perspective of what I should do with my time and that leaves me little time to trade during the day.
I've been trying every time frame from M5 and up to D1, still haven't figured out which I like better but with my time schedule, H4 and up are most likely suitable for me than the other TFs.
But Renko, Renko is my favourite of them all and lately I've been toying around with Basket trades and I love it.
So, enough with the introduction and on to the pictures
[EDIT]
Thought I'd describe how I'm trading, in general, too.
I usually open two trades, the first with TP of 1xATR(14), the second one with TP of 1.5xATR(14), SL is the same for both at 2xATR(14).
If TP1 is hit, I usually move the SL of the second trade to BE plus a few pups, remove the TP and let it run using a TS, unless I'm not at home, which is usually the case, and then I just get the two TPs, if I'm lucky or two SLs.
I'm using HAS with 2,9,2,12, the teeth of the Alligator, ZZ semafore and the Sonic trade levels, oh, and support and resistance, too.
All from this forum or native to MT4.
[EDIT 2]
I'm also using the NonLagDot indicator just for the visualization of it.
The Basket EA is Abokwaik's EA, which I hope he will continue to develop as I haven't seen a Basket EA that allows for more then one Basket to be opened. You can get it here.
The trend and breakout, which forms a kind of a fork I got from Wab's thread here, he hasn't written anything new in quite a while and I sure hope he is well and happy and hope he continues sharing his knowledge, I'm still struggling with it but sometimes I can almost "see" what he had refereed to in his thread.
