Good Morning FF,

I've been lurking these forums for years, I guess it's time to contribute back.

Posting this trade explore so I can hold myself accountable for these trades.

I am mainly just scalping the hour chart and shooting for 10% monthly, understand that this can't always happen. Just a personal goal.

Happy Trading!

EDIT: I am currently only using one instrument, the EURUSD.

EDIT: STARTED LIVE ACCOUNT WITH THIS STRATEGY

Missed out on some great action, could've locked in $40, however I got greedy and ended up only closing out around $11.80.

This is just a reminder for me to close out when I hit my target.

Still ending the day with green pips makes it a great day!

Incorrectly analyzed the EURUSD this morning and took a wrong direction. Still came up 1 pip green.

Traded from the backyard today.

yes he did definitely inspire me to make a "trader life" journal. but his videos are superb. but mine is more of "average profitable joe trader" videos. his are more high life..and better edited too. i think that's why he decided to live outside of US. can't do half the stuff he's doing here..it's too damn expensive. but that's ok..we texan boys gotta show how it's done

That's the right approach!

Not taking anymore trades today after I close out my long in the green. I keep trying to pretend last week's uptrend is still in play.

Nothing big today, locked in .5% so far. On track for the month.

Time to go lock in some coffee now.

Lol I wouldn't say all that. Your trades have been an inspiration for sure. I owe you a cold one next time I'm in town.

Shutting down MT4. Locked in 1.4% for the day. I have a bad habit of over trading, let's see if I can stay clean from MT4 for the rest of today!

Had a really sloppy entry again, still on track though.

Livin the dream with a slightly LARGE drawdown today

And this is is the day where I add "ALWAYS USE A STOPLOSS" to my trading plan.

I won't stress to hard because Monday is right around the corner and will put me in to green pips!

deviating from the past such as add "always use a stoploss" will also kind a invalidate past results, and just as well cause losses in the future based in this case hitting too many SLs in a row, for example, where in past results maybe it wasnt an option, or history would maybe look different ( maybe a lot) new rule implemented from inception.

that said, if demo dollar = demo pain, you should still have a happy weekend!
there is always, always another trade!!

Been testing a small live account with Trader's Way and haven't had time to work on this demo project. Scalped a few bucks today after a massive draw down. Still in the green :-)
