Do I Really Want to Start This Journal II

Again.... Probably not..... keeping redundant notes bores the hell out of me. But I will try to keep this updated.

I am going to post the trades from the beginning of the year to show the YTD trade history. Then I will attempt to keep this updated.

I am not interested in discussion here, so please don't bother posting here.

I am also not really interested in teaching anyone my method..... Been there done that and nobody seems to be able to stick to the rules so I am done wasting my time and yours.
However by watching and looking at past trades you just might figure something out and become a better trader.

I will post my entries as well as the SL of my upcoming trades as my signals are generated.

Remember..........
THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING COMMODITIES AND FOREX CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHETHER SUCH TRADING IS SUITABLE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.
So if you think you want to follow along with my trades the risk is yours and I will not be held responsible for your screw ups.

So on with the new year, same method ... same rules. LINK TO LAST YEAR

Here is January 2012.....................

We are starting the new year with a continuing short position.........
EUR/USD shorted at 1.29217
SL @ 1.30217

This position was initiated 1-2-2012 @ 15:33 GMT which is a bit early regarding the time regular trades are made.

Again we are using a fixed position size of 100,000 units, aka 1 lot.

Short EUR/USD stopped out at 1.3054

Will now wait till tonight to reenter the market.

Entered long @ 1.30396
101 pip hard sl 250 pip tsl

SL was hit......
We are now short the EUR/USD @ 1.2929
SL= 114

I will post the trades and results tables at the end of each month in the first post of this thread. in the meantime the trades are listed as entry and exit .....
Last years is done..... I had a data loss issue with the tracking software so what is there is it...... but as you noticed the years ended nicely in profit.

We are still holding our short EUR/USD position from 1.2929

Closed short position and opened long @ 1.28265

Will wait for Monday to re-enter.

cant see your results table anywhere....

are you long now ?

Yes
From1.2783........
Also please quit posting on this thread..... this is not a conversation area.
Also the reason for no entry on monday the 16th is I decided to take a long weekend,,,,, I needed a break so when that happens I take one.

Watching...

I'm still long..... not much to do but watch and wait for the next signal.....

Long closed ..... now short from 1.3079.

Well my short was stopped out so now I am just going to wait till next week before getting back in..... besides I am taking a few days off and spending them at the beach.............

OK.. I'm back and long the EUR/USD @ 1.3256

OK... that last long was stopped out as well so I am getting pretty board with posting here so here's what I'm gonna do.... In a couple days I am going to post the rule set so you guys can trade this method for your selves, the rules are very simple and once I post them I don't really want to be bothered with questions ..... BECAUSE THE RULES ARE SIMPLE, if you can't follow them it's not my problem because quite frankly a blind duck with a glass eye in it's ass can follow these rules.
So see ya in a couple days.............. Hasta la vista baby....... By the way .... I'm short the EUR/USD

well, i for one would definately like to see your trading journal continue. so please keep on posting your trades.

btw how many pips are you up so far this year ?
