Ok, the last trade opened using this system has just got closed. USDMXN closed for a relatively large profit vs. initial risk. In fact, this was probably the best trade of this system. And the final view at the equity curve. I am very happy to ...

USDNOK closed, USDJPY closed, USDMXN is the last remaining open trade. I will post the final note on this thread once this one gets closed. The last three trades are the best ones... well, there is nothing like letting the winners run ;-) I am happy ...

and a new high on my equity curve... and a balance of negative -0.7%, but now, given stop losses are trailed to the profitable area, it looks like I may even be able to end this exercise back in black, would be nice :-)

in case anyone is interested... and for my own records when I come back to this in the future... here is how I am managing the remaining open trades now as I stopped trading this system. GBPUSD closed at profit, as a trailed stop got hit. USDJPY ...

Final conclusions This is my journal review conclusions. The performance itself is above, 1% loss on balance, 2% gain on equity, final result will depend on how the open trades will end up. ADX filter does not appear to provide an edge. Eliminated ...

I'd like to ask for one piece of advice, please. I followed a trading system for the past 3 months. With discipline. Everyday. Every trade is in my journal, with a daily update, a screenshot at the moment of order entry and a trade exit. Trend ...

Today's trades review All are in the money at this time. GBPUSD. USDJPY. AUDNZD. USDNOK, a very nice turn around after it almost touched my stop. This time I was lucky. Usually I get stopped out by 1 pip. This time the position was "saved" by 1 pip. ...

obviously now, seeing a large drop, I wish I did re-enter my OIL short after it was closed by my broker as the CFD expired. my decision not to re-enter was a trading mistake. it would be a large winner by now, which would possibly make a difference ...

Not much change to existing trades, but there is a new (new) USDMXN entry, CB setup. (new) AUDUSD entry, RRR setup, entered at market. The same setup is available at AUDCHF, but I am taking it against USD. DXY kind of stalled. There is a long AUDJPY ...

AUDUSD broke down the 55 days low, and closed below, but the ADX55 is still declining, so I have to wait. (new) AUDNZD order got filled. Missed a nearly perfect breakout on AUDCAD, again not my mistake but a result of the fact that ADX55 was ...

My USOIL trade was again closed by the broker, because of contract expiration. I really do not like it. To avoid impact I should re-enter at market at the moment they close it, but I happen to have a job. Anyway, at least is was profitable. I do not ...
