As the week winds down and I look back, boy was it a roller coaster week lol. There were a few cautious days where I was holding a little more DD than I would have liked, but in the end it went well. 
Today I took a small loss of -1.3%, the first time this week due to GU's ranging. I was hoping for more of a bullish move today, but there was not enough volume to move it, and the bulls couldn't maintain their momentum.
Overall I close the week with +28% which I'm really happy with, and will rest easy looking ahead to next week.
Happy weekend everyone!

I have learned a lot from you following the other thread SDTR. Created my own manual strategy based on your concept of 15MA and included currency strength and volume. Made some profit over last month and raised my account by 100%. However, I am still doing something wrong and today I installed CMSM to get some more guidance. Can you suggest any other important indicator which I might include to get more accuracy.
Also, I noticed that even though you are taking trades manually it looks like you are utilizing a tool to place trades and manage them. I have been looking for something similar do you have any suggestions for that too.
Again thanks a lot for all the help. Hope to learn more from you.

Hey guys, hope you weekend was good and safe. :-)
Well today was a wish washy kinda day, typical of Monday's with the market not really sure which way to go yet.
I had some good trades today from my CS basket trading, and some losers (can't win them all lol..)
GU was the bugger that didn't cooperate with me and I took a small loss on that, but I still managed to close the day with +4.3% profit.
Let hope the market starts moving nicely tomorrow and bag some pips!

Like I said in #18, I trade different strategies, manual trading, and some EA's. I use my SDTR strategy trading manually not the EA, CMSM basket trading, and I have some custom personal EA's which I will not disclose or give away.
The CMSM is a good tool utilized properly, and can help identifying strong, and weak pairs for the day or week.
Keep doing what you doing, and good luck!

Hey guys, just popping in. I had a busy day so not much manual trading, mostly my EA's were doing their thing today.
Besides some stubborn trades misbehaving themselves, and not doing what I want, overall it was another pretty good day with close to +4% profit.
I've got some sells on CADCHF, and CADJPY, these buggers just won't drop. My analysis says they should drop, but they are taking their bloody time lol.. Technically and contrarily they should sell, so patience is the key here.
I've added positions as they went up, and I'll keep holding on them until I can close them in some decent profit.

Alright so today was a much better day! Closing with +6.2% for the day.
You will notice a negative pip value but still having a profitable day? Hmmmm... Well that's due to some of the UZ trades I was holding since yesterday. Today as UZ corrected I did some cost averaging to close in profit, but due to how pips are calculated a bit differently with UZ it still closed with a negative pip value.
These UZ trades also caused me quite a big draw during the night so I was happy to close them out for a small profit today!
Also took a loss on GU today, it really didn't know which way to move during LO, and the ranging closed me out for a loss. No worries as I'll capitalize on it tomorrow.
Going into Friday I'm not sure what/if manual trades I will take, maybe I'll just let the EA's do their thing and collect a few pips before the weekend.
Alright that's it, stay safe guys!

TGIF Mofo's!
Happy Friday to all of you, I hope you had a good week and achieved your targets.
Overall it was another good week, yes there were a few losses here and there, but I managed to close off the account with +23.5% for the week. That's great in my book!
I will be going over some things this weekend to put into action next week which should hopefully improve my trading to help me continue achieving these good results.
Have a good weekend guys, and stay safe!

I just seen this today lol.. It's been a very good month indeed!
Well to be honest I did get a bit lucky a few times during the month, and had a few hairy moments carrying a little extra draw than I would have liked, but at the end of it, here we are with the account holding no open orders, and no losses or DD, with over +400% profit for the month.
I pray that next month I will have the same success!

Did you mostly make the profits with your SDTR or did you test another system? By the way, thanks a lot for the SDTR. I've just found the system and I am going to try it on my demo.
I'm subscribing this thread and will follow your journal. I wish you good luck in the following months and years!

{quote} It is an amazing result for June. Congrats mrdfx!
Yes as I mentioned in #27 I still use the SDTR strategy, but I trade it manually.
Good luck with your testing of the strategy.

Hey guys just checking in.
I've been pretty busy so I couldn't post here yesterday. It's been a good start to the week so far with a little over +8% achieved yesterday, and +9% today, which brings us up to almost +19% for the week.
Yesterdays weekly basket closed for +5.5%, and along with my other EA's, and a few manual entries we hit +8%.
Today was much of the same with my breakout system hitting it's daily target, and my EA's bringing in some good profits.
It's NFP week so looking ahead I'll be cautious with USD pairs, and see how things go.
Happy trading!

Well its been flaaaat day uugghhhhh.. 
Took a loss on GU today due its ranging, my guess due to the US holiday, as such today closes with -0.3%.
Not the result I was hoping for today, but I'm still in a positive % for the week.
I'm holding on some GY sells, and I've added some positions on the way up. I'm expecting a pullback during Asian session, and then close out GY in some profit.

Hello guys happy Friday! 
So just a quick check in. It's been a kinda flat last few days, also with today being NFP, I will grab my coffee and watch lol..
Today is also no trade day for me, Brazil is playing in the WC QF so its BBQ and beers time!
Overall though I'm pretty happy with how the week has been, +21% profit for this week is good enough for me!
Have a great weekend guys, and stay safe!
