In GBP/USD and holding. Other trade canceled. My excel sheet somehow blew up to 4 MBs, even though it's simple. I'm going to have to recreate it at some point and then I'll start posting it again.

Test doc.

Both orders are extended until Friday 3:55 pm

Another try on the attachment. (I guess it's not working. I'll try another time)

I have unbelievably little time in school. My excel sheet was also not attached last time, so it is now. Let's get some momentum back. OCO Orders: Short GBP/USD Trigger: 1.5897 Stop: 1.6018 Cancellation: @1.6050 or Thursday 5:30 pm Risk: 121 pips = 0.76% of mark = 1.00 risk point...

Not quite what I was anticipating there. Short GBP/USD Result: +1 pip = +.01 risk points Short GBP/CHF Result: -214 pips = -1.00 risk points It seems I got caught in one of the traps I've been trying to play recently. Record: 5 wins, 13 losses Cumulative risk points: -2.09 Avg...

I'm just realizing how terrible both previous trigger levels were on the GBP/USD short were, compared with what I think was appropriate. I'll move my stop though to 1.6380, and happily extend my GBP/CHF short OCO to Friday at 3:55 pm. No other actions

In GBP/USD New Order. If this triggers, then my short on GBP/USD will be immediately exited upon entry into the new position Short GBP/CHF Trigger: 1.2888 Stop: 1.3102 Cancellation: @stop or Thursday 5:30 pm Risk: 214 pips = 1.66% of mark = 1.00 risk point Record: 4 wins, 12 losses...

I understand your position. Unfortunately, I'm ok where I am. I have no more than ten minutes per day to trade, and any more than that would be too much. My money is fake, and I'm smart enough to know when to open an account (historically I'm negative, but the 25 or so trades I made on a...

I'm going to allow both old orders to cancel. New Orders Short GBP/USD Trigger: 1.6381 Stop: 1.6530 Cancellation: 1.6563 or Thursday 5:30 pm Risk: 149 pips = 0.91% of mark = 1.00 risk point Record: 4 wins, 12 losses Cumulative risk points: -1.10 Avg: -0.07

southbeach4me, you are clearly an intelligent, successful trader. Why do you spend your time on journals of amateurs when you could be making money? Better yet, why do you delegate yourself to role of "noob policeman/woman" when you could be adding real value to the community through your...

I don't intend to post things like this in the future, but perhaps this idea could be of mental benefit to some in the community. These stages are very similar to a trader's stages of development: http://www.hunter-ed.com/md/course/ch7_stages_of_hunter_development.htm Shooting stage =...

Out. Long USD/CHF Result: +272 pips = +1.86 risk points Record: 4 wins, 12 losses Cumulative risk points: -1.10 Avg: -0.07

Stop moved to 0.7598 At 0.7598, the stop is tight (30 pips as of now). While I really do think this could be part of a much larger play, I guess when it comes down to it I have neither the confidence nor the patience to sit through the corrections. If this is meant to come, it will come...

Stop moved to 0.7468 I need to be cautious not to continue my cycle. Occasionally, I have some free time and an intraday opportunity falls into my hands like a golden egg. Increases in aggressive trades and a constant need to check the market ensue. I'll make a promise that I won't check...

The last order should have read "long", not short. New Order Long USD/CHF Trigger: 0.7326 Stop: 0.7180 Cancellation: 0.7180 or Thursday 5:30 pm Risk: 146 pips = 1.99% of mark = 1.00 risk point Record: 3 wins, 12 losses Cumulative risk points: -2.96 Normally I would think this...
