{quote} Hello Royal146 If i may, some further thoughts on the zones on the GBPNZD i think are worth keeping in mind. Further reason why the lower level was a further challenge to really focus on. best wishes{image}
Hello AKT very welcome and thank you for your reply.
So you confirm that these two levels (yellow) zones are both supply. But the lower one has lower odds, because it does not meet our set of rules.

Hi! It’s a pleasure to meet you all.

The past 2 years or so, I have been trying to trade forex spot without much luck. I stumbled upon this thread a few months ago, and the trading style seems to fit my personality better than others I have tried.

I would love to hear your thoughts on a few trades I’m looking at. Note that I almost exclusively use limit orders because I work close to 60 hours a week, and I’m in the process of applying to grad school.

Any feedback is appreciated! I’m looking at 6 pairs at the moment, but two are below. I tend to swing with a W/D/4H split.

Hey everyone, I've been following the thread for about a month an a half now reading from beginning to about page 380. After seeing many other threads on FF I must say this has GOT to be the most healthy environment for a trader to learn on this entire forum. Big ups to AKT and the rest of you guys for keeping the toxicity out of here.

I've been trading SnD for about 2 years now with the typical results of ups and downs and after reading through the thread its become pretty obvious to me that if I want to improve my trading I should probably have a trading journal (I know, i know I don't know what I was thinking either, but i'm going to fix it!). I started backtesting the methodology thats been taught in this thread and the Storehouse Analytics YT channel and I realized that, besides the numbers (Entry, Exit, R:R, etc.) I have no idea what I should be actually tracking in a trade journal so I can go back, review my trades, and glean something of use moving forward.

I'm sure I can't be the only one with this dilemma! So to any one willing to share. What are some things you track in your trading journal that have helped you progress in your trading? Things that are apart from just the normal "numbers" are most welcome as well!

Thanks for your help, and hopefully this will help other traders, like me, stop banging our head against a wall and make some more headway to profitability!

Much Love - Quis

Hi Masterquis,

I hope you good and welcome. My trading journal is in Excel format and it consists of 4 tabs. First one gives me an overall look at everything I did, amount of money, profit and loss, total number of trades, winning percentage etc. On the 2nd tab, it's the actual journal, pairs, entries, stops, r:r, profit and loss in GBP, percentages (account growth etc) and the most important is the screenshot of the trade before and after. On the next few tabs I got all the information collided together so it shows me which pairs are doing well, graphs showing the equity curve etc. To me the most important is the trades screenshots, it allows me to go back by date and see what I did right and wrong.

Thanks

David

This is the trading journal I am talking about, I made some modifications to it after I downloaded it (changed the currency and I added some more fields).

I am not taking credit for this spreadsheet as it was created by a user of another forum (Stray from Babypips forum and it was free to download) hope it will help some people from here too.

Thanks DavidKi for the input and resources DavidKl!

That was really cool of you to share your spreadsheet so we can all have a starting point to build our own trading journals from.

I've been listening to a lot of podcasts trying to get ideas on this topic. These are podcasts from traders that have gone from blowing up accounts, to breakeven, and eventually consistently profitable. The common thread through all of these podcasts are that each trader saw a significant improvement in their trading process, and thus equity curve after they started tracking how specific parts of their methodology and process affects trade outcome.

That got me thinking about our methodology practice here. What if we could track how trades are affected by waiting ONLY Momentum shifting vs waiting for BOTH Momentum shifting AND Sellers stepping into the market to take out Opposing zones? What if we could track how trades are affected if we take trades with the HTF trend vs against the HTF trend?

I want to make a spreadsheet of some sort, if i can, that would allow us gain a deeper insight on our process. However, i'm having trouble identifying those little (and consequently BIG) things that go into our process. What else should we track besides whether a trade is with trend or counter trend, or if we wait for opposing zones to be taken out vs just a momentum line?

small bounce before we head into fresh demand. closed some, and some.

David, taking into account the higher time frame trend (which is up), priced went into a demand, bounced a little, then went lower (into another demand) before heading up again. I took the supply that was unconsumed (counter trend short). to be frank, it doesn't matter which side of the trend you pick as price will move both ways. you just need to be able to see where the demand and supply is on a chart.

I took this long on eurusd and posted on the other thread

Nice scalp trade opportunity for EUR/USD. 15min chart is a buy at 1.1737 which correlates well for dollar supply at 93.70. Sl, 1.1720 which is the low. Simple setup. Chart will be updated Sunday
this was my long set up that i took (+65pips) with the trend but got closed out as it went into the lower demand before heading higher.

it really doesn't matter which way you trade. focus on being able to find the ''fresh'' supply and demand. thats key to trading supply and demand.
