Women's trade journal

[Nady]

Sorry if this has already been covered, but considering that you're using the hourly chart, what's your holding period? Is it open-ended until one or the other is hit?

I use the hourly chart for analysis. I consider it the most informative. The waiting period may be different. I keep the deal as long as I am sure that it will give a positive result. If there are signs of a large movement against my position, I decide either to increase the risk or to close the position with a small profit or loss.

Pay him no mind Nady, do your thing.
If I'm not mistaken it was you, maxinger, who said the same thing "You need to look at the bigger picture first" about this call linked below when it was posted on ET. I responded at that time with a longer post that said "not neccessarily" and gave the support for my position on that. Lo and behold, winner winner chicken dinner.
Maxinger, did you get a chance to see those results? Never did see you say good show, lol.
Maxinger, can you direct us to some of your successful trades with background?
You been at this a while and it would be worth a look.

good advice mister.
If you see my past postings, I have said things like
- don't listen to others
- or listen to others with ears close


anyway, it doesn't bother me what people do to their trades.

So instead of
' Look at the bigger picture first',

they can / should / must do the opposite / contrary wise things like


' Never look at the bigger picture first' or
' Look at the smaller picture first'.

Revision (1) of the forecast № 2 GBPUSD.
The forecast for a price decline is still relevant, but an impulse price movement up is possible, so I move the SL higher, increasing the risk.

' Never look at the bigger picture first' or
' Look at the smaller picture first'.

How about look at what works,? lol.
how about some examples of your artistic method?
Why suppress other's charted ideas without collateral specific actionable ideas that may be better?
Never say never, lol.

so I move the SL higher, increasing the risk.

That's a no/no.
If something changed, then close your position and wait to see what happens. Don't double your risk!

Hi,
Basic risk management rules say do not risk more then 2% on each trade.
You can decrease deposit risk by decreasing position size (lots).
I wish you strong dollar.

I think we uptick on Monday a bit then go down for 2-3 days.

We did, and went down from Monday 1 pm to 1.5 days. Good enough...

This is the old thread exposing Xela aka Alexa smith.

https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/malicious-trolling-and-stalking.323122/page-53#post-4697136

Thats the last im going to post about Xela, dont want to side track the OPs journal.

Wow!! That thread had 61 pages!! Barron must have huge servers.

Don't let these idiots derail the purpose of your journal here by distracting you and sending you down the infamous ET rabbit-hole. Have @Magna moderate anything you don't want here. It's already 3 pages with only one trade idea.

It never fails, someone starts an interesting journal, and eventually they quit due to all the bs.
I for one want to see how you do. g/l

It's a little ominous that someone would label their trading journal as a "Women's" trading journal. I mean what's the difference between a man and a woman when it comes to trading? Trading is trading is trading. The market doesn't give a s*** whether the trader is a woman or a man so why would a "woman's" trading journal be different from any other trading journal? To me it's just another trading journal with its own chart-based system. Even though the OP promised she will do some analysis on her trades, so far, I haven't seen any.
