My Open Forex Trade Journal by sammybrainy(m): 7:58pm On Jun 28, 2013
Hello
I have been trading Forex for a while now, and finally have a trading system I am most comfortable with.

I have been trying it out and would be posting the results and screenshots for personal reasons,
which is to Train myself to trade more responsibly, knowing someone might be watching/following.

My trading system is purely technical on the 4hr timeframe, with focus on the majors (EUR/USD,USD/CAD,AUD/USD + USD/JPY)

Will start posting on Monday 1st of June.

Feel free to subscribe/follow, it would help.
Thanks.

TIMEFRAME: H4
R TO R RATIO: 1:1 or 1:2
SYSTEM: SUPPLY&DEMAND PRICE ACTION

Re: My Open Forex Trade Journal by sammybrainy(m): 3:28pm On Jul 02, 2013
Ok! finally my first trade

I bought EURJPY 130.576
Target 132.381
Stop loss 128.364
200pip target
R to R Ratio 1:1

This pair is not amongst the ones listed.
Its presently at a strong resistance level.
But it looks to break it.

sir, if you will be taking your trades and entry off the Daily time frame, i think it is advisable you allow the day's candlestick (end of day close) to close before you place a trade in order to avoid some day trading noise except you will be considering 4hr tf as well.
Just my own thinking, not really mean to interfere pls.

Cheers.

@naira4ever
Yes I agree, I didn't open the pair until this afternoon. I should have entered at yesterdays close,that was the breakout candle,which was about 40pips away from where entered.

And presently the JPY is very weak to the USD.

Thanks for the input.
Re: My Open Forex Trade Journal by Nobody: 8:56pm On Jul 02, 2013
currently am on short EUR/JPY.. are you a swing trader?
OP... the take profit u set i believe is to high... the laast time that pair read that high was in may.. and since you are more of a technical trader, i advice you play safe....i think you need to recalculated that entry if you are on a long, cause the upward momentum on a stochastic ossilator is in the overbought zone(meaning exuasted). let me get you feedbacks.

Well, yes I like swings, but I do more of breakouts, and It broke out two days ago,gues i entered late. But the projected tp has not been hit,thats why i entered anyway.

But I would close it if the current daily candle ends as a bearish candle.
This is based on the daily timeframe.

i like your mentality... many newbies will be trading with very high demo account size, and forgeting to learn the basics of money management, nice lot size also... i dont know how long you"ve been trading but i believe to should stop aiming that too high considering the fact that most of the pairs are consolidating...and your take profits should be within the range of at most 2weeks price highs.. so i was told...

Yea, I'v been on it for a year now, made some money, cashed out, got shaky and blew up my account due to me switching strategies, stoped for a while. And now I'm back and better, but still learning though.

I guese my take profit is that high because of the timeframe and strategy i'm using, H4 and Daily. Money management is a must,theres an online calculator which i use for that.

Sorry for that and hope you learned something from that.

Did you take the eur/usd sell last night on the daily tf? The pair closed bearish and totally engulfed previous day bar. It is in sell mode currently but the upcoming news from US data @ 1:15 & 1:30 today could be a catalyst to send the pair down to 1.2800 and below or higher on the other scenario.
Re: My Open Forex Trade Journal by Nobody: 11:12am On Jul 03, 2013
i made 227 pips on the eur/jpy pair on a short... now am going on a long this time my target is 50pips... lets go there..

TP 1.44049

Closed at break-even point + 3pips.
I'll still keep the profit status as -100pips.

Dont expect much action from this thread, due to my strategy on high timeframe(4H&Daily)
My breakout and swing strategies gives less signals.
Re: My Open Forex Trade Journal by sammybrainy(m): 12:20am On Jul 04, 2013
Current Swing Entries:
AUDUSD 0.90812 SHORT
USDCAD 0.05066 LONG
EURAUD 1.43287 LONG
USDJPY 100.087 LONG
EURJPY 130.105 LONG

No predefined takeprofit, would rely on my exit signal. Stoploss ranges between 80-100pips.

Its going to be long ride.
