Have only been using EUR/USD up until now will expand to USD/JPY and GBP/USD as well.

Testing how far my EA will let a losing trade go... a bit too far for my taste. So the overall return is now down to 2.036% overall for 21 days. In the future I will close EA trades if I feel that they are not on the right track. This is what demo ...

Not much activity since last post - have been waiting on some trades that I entered too early. My EA entered a long position EUR/USD and I entered two more. I closed mine already at small profits (typical for my method) but the EA position was ...

Indeed. It was pretty discouraging after how well I was able to do on demo to be re-quoted on nearly every trade. I haven't messed with it for over a year and a half until recently. Testing some new methods out and a new broker whenever I decide to ...

Basically... once I starting making winning trades for a few days in a row my trades were no longer instant. It is referred to as "manual execution" since the dealing desk would then have to approve my orders before they would go through. None of my ...

Most of the smaller trades you see are my manual trades - most of the larger trades are from my EA. I keep an eye on the EA as well and often will close trades for it if I think it's on the wrong track. My old method was much more profitable but did ...

I wasn't using any EA before for my old strategy (I had some logs posted here), just watching the charts all day and doing it by hand. Involved larger lots and less pip movement primarily at certain times of the day. I've got an EA in combination ...

I will be back pretty soon. I just got through with opening my account with FXDD. It took a good bit of time for the wire transfer to clear back from MIG Investments. Hopefully I will have better luck with FXDD I'll update when I get going!

A few updates — I am over being mad at myself for my mistakes. My mind is back in tune after taking just one day off. In the future, as I have mentioned, I will make a policy to take a day off if I do make a loss like I did here again in the ...

I am very interested in FXDD. I am currently filling out the paper work to open an account with them. How is the order execution speed? The re-quoting from MIG Investments is *killing* my trading method. I am looking to come back from my recent loss ...

fxvision, I have learned alot from this incident. I think it still needs time to soak in, though, hence my mistake two days in a row! In the future I should take a day off after making such a loss to clear my head. Thanks for your words, I will be ...

Game Over — Game Over for a while for me. I did it again... I am all messed up mentally on trading and let my losses slide AGAIN today. I was in "need to catch" up mode and wouldn't take the small loss at first. I guess I need to take a break ...

Alan, You are right. I was just very mad at myself and very tired last night. Thank you for the level headed words. All in all my results are good but I let myself break my maximum loss rule yesterday. On demo trading it was easier to cut my loss ...

Day 10 (Thursday, July 20th): Decreased acccount to $2333 Decreased account by -$275 today. Made 14 pips on USD/JPY. Made 2 pips on EUR/USD. Lost -43 pips on EUR/USD. I might close my log... I am very discouraged. At the end of my work day I was up ...

Yes, so far all trading has been with one lot.

Day 9 (Wednesday, July 19th): Increased to $2608 Increased account by $128 today. This makes a 30.4% return so far which is acceptable. My demo account was at 37.26% by this point so I am slightly behind schedule -- see Day 3 for the main cause of ...

My strategy is pretty basic when it comes right down to it. So much so that it isn't much to explain at all I watch price action VERY closely and get a feel for the chart and it's behavior for the day and then wait until it develops itself into a ...

Day 8 (Tuesday, July 18th): Increased to $2480 Increased account by $157 today. Made 11 pips on EUR/USD. Made $15.00 in swap on EUR/USD. Made 4 pips on EUR/CHF. No loss trades today. Calling it a day already at 6:45 PM EST. Made enough pips today ...

Thanks very much for the words of encouragement - Jake
