Great progress in just several months since you started trading!
Thank you for your kind words.

I'm proud of myself that I'm making all of my own decisions and keeping my risk managed.

My first goal is to do this for 6 months straight.

Still a lot to learn.

Cheers
Anthony

Dear Anthony

I am new to the game and created my FF account after stumbling onto George's thread (alas after it was already closed)

Thank you for starting this trade journal as I was looking around for more content which revolve around George's method.

(Also have to thank Andy, Zoltan and Daniel for their added insights and time which really helped to clarify some concepts.)

Hope to learn more from you and also bring some new insights to the table

Cheers,
Wong

Hi Wong,

Thank you for stopping by.

There is an overload of information on George's thread and I humbly urge you to focus on the posts that get mentioned time and time again.

I haven't been posting charts recently as I didn't really see the value in it for myself. I still trade the exactly the same way but I have since added one pair, EUR AUD to increase the amount of opportunities I may have during a trading week on the advice of PF.

I wish you all the best on your learning journey.

Cheers
Anthony

Hi Anthony
Also look at EURCAD if you aren’t already, a great pair to trade M1 on.
I rate my fav pairs in this order.

GU
GN
GJ
EC
GA
EA
USDMXN

Awesome Rick!

Thanks for your list.

I will add 1 more pair. It is hard for me to track too many pairs due to my business commitments but 3 should be doable.

I like to see if I can keep them all separate so perhaps USDMXN might be the one. I honestly don't even know what that is.....

Hi Rick and Anthony, both GCAD and ECAD are excellent reversal pairs to trade, my fav besides yen pairs.

In place of GN which can be quite volatile and expose to earthquakes, GA and EA are good replacement.

GU
EJ
GJ
EA
GA
ECAD
GCAD are my main pairs,

GCHF
CADJ
CHFJ are my minor pairs that give good moves in the right condition.

I monitor price with alerts. August is excellent month and September looks to continue the same.

Thanks Jason for these. EURCAD seems like it needs to be added to the list for sure.

The alerts are a great idea as well.

How do we all go about calculating position size for USDMXN?? There are some big numbers on that pair??

I was lucky I could close these trades mostly for profit on NFP Friday but I had to hold them overnight which doesn't make me too comfortable.

Kind of thinking I could have deployed a hedge strategy here or do a simple wait for an M15 candle to print red before taking on such a strong move.

Anyway, still learning.

Great journal Anthony.

The Problem is, how long are you going to be counting on luck to bail you out? Any trading strategy / methodology that will make you burn 1,2 or 3 months profit in 1 day is just not worth it in long run. It's stressful and drains you.

It doesn't matter if you have 90 winning days and burn everything in just 1 day. Think about it.

Cheers.

Hi SS.

Thank you for stopping by my little part of the FF world. I actually do appreciate all the comments.

I humbly agree with you that the longer I count on luck the less I have a chance of being consistently profitable. I'm still trying to grow my skill level each day by reviewing my trades, journalling etc.

Comments like yours inspire me to become better, to think deeper and study the markets harder. I know very well what type of trader I am and how I like to trade. I just need to become much much sharper at my entries and protect myself quickly when I'm wrong.

Cheers
Anthony

Here you go, hope everything is good with you!

check this out, it blew my mind and it works:

https://ovo.cz/products/free-mt4-utilities/sync-scroll/

Apply it to X charts and it will scroll automatically all the charts in sync. I think it is great to study price action across multiple TF!

Thank you Diego.

I had no idea that this even existed. It is also very timely as I'm developing something quite interesting on the M30 and M1 charts. It is something I've been seeing for the past few months and this chart scrolling software should help me practice with seeing it even better on a live market.

Cheers

Hi Anthony!
Look at this long daily candle and the pin bar below it. Here it is simply visible that a trend reversal or a powerful correction ... and you entered by TMA? There is a clear breakdown.Double bottom pattern...

What a strange old week this has been for me.

I haven't found one trade for the entire week even though I'm watching 3 pairs now. 3 seems to be my current limit as I gradually expand from one.

This could be the first week that I haven't taken a trade since I started back in February.

it is hard to find suitable trades this week as per the principles you/we use.
it happens.
dont feel bad about it, be happy that you have the discipline not to force entries where there isnt one, just for the sake of trading.
i have a similar week, with very few entries, and nothing at all for the past 2 days.
there is always, always another trade!!

Hi Antony!
I found gringing filters at George thread at the opening of Frankfurt and London, and a couple of examples on GJ
I lost money a couple of times like you, the same mistakes ...

That was a nice one wasn't it!

I missed a few set ups last week which is no problem, but it was nice to be around for that one.
