Stop moved to 1.1002.

When I was on top of my game I would have liked to roll this to the weekly. Unfortunately I'm in profit-defending mode as I'm not in tune with the market as much anymore and can't get a good read. It will take time.
 
And there we have it.

Long AUD/USD Result: 1.1002-1.0908= +94 pips = +0.72 risk points

3 Wins, 11 Losses.

Win Percentage: 3/(3+11) = 21.4%

Cumulative Risk Premia: -2.54

Average Risk Premia: about -0.18 risk points

I made a mistake. That first order was on the GBP/USD

The GBP/USD would have triggered at 8:15 am, the EUR/USD at about 3:15 am. So in EUR/USD.

I'm not persuaded that this is just a holding period within an uptrend, so I'm tightening my stop down to 1.4260. I may revisit it later tonight and close it after thinking it over.
 
Quote from TraderGreg:

After about 14 months since I quit trading, .......
I believe the main causes to be:

1. No life balance - no women, too much time at my computer, not healthy enough social life, too consumed by my own thoughts.


Reading your log and I can tell you one thing based from my own experience. Get away from the noise of day trading. And stick with long term trading.

Long EUR since Jan of this year and holding. Target 175

Thank you for sharing your experience. I don't intend to go back to intraday.

The last order should have read "long", not short.

Normally I would think this trade is foolish if not an outright waste, but the intraday signals look amazing. This leads me to believe that the trade has the potential to be a major intraday, daily, weekly, and even monthly reversal. If any percentage of that is true, I intend to take a chunk from it.

This will be fun. : )
