My FX Journal

Quote from sakhter:

Mostly all trades are standard lots. But at times I will vary it a bit.. if I place a pending with a few pips take profit, then yeah, I may over-leverage $100-$250/pip.. depends..
awesome...go for it!
 
Quote from increasenow:

hey, check out the EUR/AUD, GBP/NZD, EUR/NZD...in all seriousness..bigger spreads but have great daily trading range...

That's cool. but with my analysis there are too many fake-outs on those currencies.
 
Quote from sakhter:

Took the rest of the night off & had nice 15 hours of sleep. Not going to meet my goal of 1,000 pips a week considering I started the journal mid-week. Oh well.

Missed some opportunities due to my slumber last night.. but no sweat.

GBPJPY buy-stop 158.30 take profit 158.96
projected profit = 66 points

GBPYJPY buy-stop 159.19 take profit 159.30
projected profit = 11 points


total projected: 77 points
total accumulated: 83

gbpjpy buy-stop at 158.30 is now at a -162 point loss. Have not closed the position. Waiting for rebound back

Down -79 points for the week about -$790

the other gbpjpy buy-stop was never executed. I have placed another buy-stop at 157.36 with t/p 157.63 for 27 point profit.

total projected for next 3 positions: 104
total floating-loss: -162
total accumulated: 83, net: -79
 
Currently, I have 1 pending and 1 executed long GBPJPY trade in the negative.

However, a high probability short-scalp && long-scalp forming for the GBPJPY..

I am preparing to place pending short-stop order, at higher volume, of 25 standard lots @ 156.43 with take profit $156.38. For $1,250 gain.

If price continues to move south down, Exit the GBPJPY buy-stop 158.30 take profit 158.96 order at 156.28 for a -200 point, or -$2,000 loss. Sell-stop 10 standard lots @156.28 with take-profit 156.16 for 12 points, or $1,200.

Net if trend is down = $2,450 - 2000 = $450.

Otherwise, hold GBPJPY buy-stop 158.30 take profit 158.96 Buy-stop again with 10 standards lots @156.98 with take-profit 157.07.

If price continues towards the upside buy-stop 1 standard lot @157.43 take profit 158.38

Net if trend is up(closed all positions) = $1,200 + $900 + $950 + $80(158.30 buy-stop closed at 158.38) = $3,130

However, I may hold the original buy-stop.
