Real time trades by realjumper!!

Decided against looking for the BRN target and closed at PP/daily open.

Closed +60.

I took some out earlier just in case I get stopped out on gold. it's not needed now and so I will leave this trade alone with stop at b/e

You are trading exceptionally good today after you lost your nuts, eh?

I kept moving the stop lower but eventually got stopped out...anyway, I came out +ve

with this trade coming to an abrupt end I am completely flat now..will be going out for dinner on Rishi's behalf later on

GJ +46.2 pips
I'd set my TP at 138.95 when I went out. PA got to 2.2pips shy of the target and fell away. I got spooked by that because I was monitoring on my phone and exited 17 pips short of my target, which was hit less than 15 minutes later. God, I hate using my phone when trading!
Still, money in the bank.

you should ask Lisat how she does it, she never gets spooked..like you said earlier , we are eunuch traders

Do you have a rationale for these situations Lisa?

OK I am going to join in here, thanks to RJ for this thread. I was thinking about opening my own journal but I would rather do this as part of a group. I really need to do something to hold myself accountable publicly, and this seems to be the best way to do that.

Lately I have been very frustrated with myself, my method is generally working well, but I keep missing good opportunities, not because things move too fast, but just for whatever reason I am not getting done what needs to be done.

I had a loss yesterday, that's OK because the trade was correct according to my plan. But today I overslept and missed a really good day. That seems to be the story of my life these days.

I have a plan for self discipline in my life, trading is part of that but it's just one aspect of the big picture. Hopefully by sharing what's going on, in this case my trades, I can develop more consistency.

I trade majors and some crosses from M5, M15, and M30 charts, just depending on what shows up. I do not do high frequency trading so I should be able to post screenshots with no problem, if things move quickly on an M5 trade I may not be able to get it posted within 1 candle per the rules, but I will do my best.

My plan here is to post the trades, and be honest about if the trade was correct according to my method. I day trade so I do not hold trades past rollover. So at the end of the day I will sum things up and see where things stand.

Must be due reduced testosterone levels.

Hope I'm not going to the well once too often here.

Long G/A.

Welcome aboard JW.

Your story sounds similar to what many here have probably gone through at some point in their journey. Since joining this thread I've learned a lot about my own self indiscipline and how to put more faith and trust in my plan.
Putting yourself out for the world to see is strangely a kind of release as far as I'm concerned. It makes you more aware that if you want to be successful in this turbulent world, you have to be 100% honest with yourself. Documenting what you do on here will give you the medium to accomplish that.
I wish you well and look forward to your posts.

Trade well.

I'm off to dinner now. Bbl

Not going anywhere and not prepared to let it go into drawdown so pulled the plug. +5.

Long EY, just a quick scalp before going to bed

at b/e now

can't keep my eyes open..

Shush everyone....

My man Pips is collecting greens in his sleep!!!

Gday guys i was a bit busy this week to post but i will put up a few today. Just took a long on GU

Well I did get spooked last night I had been out all day, then as soon as I came in I saw the GA buy signal and thought go in...only to talk myself out of it and took 6 pips thinking I hadn't given it enough thought...now its on its way to the original TP. Probably greed is my motivator and thats not always a good thing.

Seriously though, taking half at 20 pips has been the best thing because I just relax once its reached that, and then let the rest do its own thing afterwards, my usual rule is unless I see a signal the other way I don't take it back out manually.
