My Forex Journal

Here is an example of a trade I took last week, like I said I swing trade so my trades can last form intraday to 3-4 days. I target moves from 120pips to 350pips + . I use a 1:1 R:R. So if my target/profit is 350 pips (on some pairs that have a high daily range) than my risk is also 350 pips, but like I mentioned I use the indicator above to size it so it will have the same risk like the trade below on NAZCAD that I took last week, witch its stop was 120 pips.

Did you initiate your long trade when prices were going down after touching the resistance? you seem to be a bit aggressive trader...

No,no....please look at the chart again closer... this is a trade from last week. Look at the blue arrows on the chart.... I trade with the trend and sometimes I am even a little late cause I have some filtering systems before I get in witch helps me avoid bad trades. My platform has the option if I go back I can slide the closed trade onto the chart and it will indicate where I entered and where I exit the trade.

Hi @wizard4444,

I am not sure if you are an institutional trader or not. But I am convinced that you are a genuine profitable trader after I found that your method is similar to mine.

How many percentage on average you make a month with 3% risk?

Why not you trade for yourself. I believe you have enough capital to make a living and compound it. Any reason why you want to manage other people's money?

Thank you MarketDiver for your support and confidence in my trading. When I use to trade for the firm my risk was below 0.5% did not need to risk more, the amount managed was very high,I do not even want to mention it cause of the obvious reasons. I will be honest with you... I have never traded my money I always since the beginning trade for Props or banks.
I started with equities in Swift Trade and went on to other banks.
Now that I am thinking back I did trade equities with my money before going to Swift.... so long ago.

One hour prior to London session opening,
Looking at the daily chart, there is a sign of strong bullish sentiment although prices are currently making upmove.
Both in 30 minute & 1 H chart, prices are touching the resistance but both charts show that prices have gone into bullish segment.
Not to mention 5 minute charts, prices have already gone into bullish segment and prices are approaching another resistance...

Anyway, it will become more clearer in London opening...but if the uptrend continues, it appears the next resistance is 1.10200 area.
