My Simple Trading Journal

This thread is being used to protocol my future trading progress.

Buy EurCad at 1.5012 with a stop at 1.4997. Trade is based on bad CAD data, and a seemingly stronger EUR at the moment.
Looking for a trend continuation toward 1.5090. Will post a chart tommorrow for better visualization.
I am taking this position half the normal lotsize i take.

Closing this position with a 3 pip loss. Not liking the price action.

Buy Brent 64.75 Stop 64.60 Limit 65.40

Position Closed now at 65.30 with a profit of 55 pips.

Brent chart:


I like to build my entry decision based on fundamentals and chart technicals.

Buy EurJpy 125.05
Stop 124.90
Limit 125.30

Chart with more input.

Its a quick trade for a calm trading day.

Closing this position +17pips enough for today.

Interesting setup on GbpJpy and also GbpUsd but i am not taking it because of the lack of liquidity right now, still want to post it.



Entry would be at 142.93
Stop at 142.78
Limit 143.30

edit// Stop hit on this idea, but as mentioned above i did not take it because of the low liquidity with the US holiday.

Buying crude oil, splitting my position on brent and wti.

Buy WTI 56.18 Stop 55.90 limit 57.50

Buy Brent 66.35 Stop 66.07 limit 68.00

Decent R:R chart and comment will follow up tomorrow.

Moving stop on WTI to BE.
Closing brent with +10 do not like the PA.

Closing also WTI with a nice profit at 56.55 / +37. Would have probably closed it overnight with 30 pips more profit, but i have to sleep sometimes lol.



The reason i closed were some conflicting price action signals between WTI and BRENT.
Will wait for a better setup now.

I learned one thing, if in doubt take profit and get out, another opportunity will present it self sooner or later.

Dull markets today, no real trends to jump on to. Looks like participants are waiting for the FED minutes later on.
Generally speaking cable looks interesting for a dip long position around 1.30 with 200 DMA being there and good support.

Buying a 1/2 position of Nasdaq at 7080 stop at 7060, limit 7135.

I am not taking a full position because the fundamentals are a little bit blurry for me right now, but i like the technical side of it.

If we break 7100 to the upside i will move my stop to BE.

ok now , moving stop to BE at 7080.

taking profits at 7103 +23 pips. will wait now for fed minutes.
