Real time trades by realjumper!!

Yip, it is hanging in there alright.

PA has gone all choppy now and after my earlier crappy entry, I will wait for a nice and clear trigger.

would be nice to have this amount of pips

It would!

GN short ??

Short no. I have nothing at the moment on M15.
Ah, now I see your screenshot as well.

we had bearish close for NU,AU and GU yesterday.. so anything goes

I have entry long on M15

Yip, look at GA and GN fly up! Out of bounds for any of my triggers there.

Both GN and GA looking good for longs, Aegis?

Aye, they are, I just don't/didn't have a trigger. GN is moving well already.

GA has changed for me:

Short triggered M15

GN is also giving me a short trigger, but it is outside of my risk zone. So it will be used as training on a demo account!

yes, the trend is down now,,gbp weakening

Gone to BE.

OK I am back, nice to see this thread is still alive even if there have not been as many people posting as before.

Mom is doing well, I still need to help her so there may be times I won't be able to post or update immediately. But I am still trading and have been trading during my absence here, I should be able to post regularly now.

There is something about posting honestly live that is liberating yet challenging and that demands total focus. It's like if this is out there for the whole world to see, then I simply must get it right. I have found myself falling back into some of the old bad habits that I was frustrated with in the weeks before I began posting here. I really need to get back on track and hopefully this is the best way to do that. Even with some of the losses I had and some errors that were made, my trading improved substantially while I was posting here and is among the best stretches of positive results I have had since I began trading.

I have confidence in my methods, I know that while there will be periods of (hopefully limited) drawdown, that if I stick with it things will come out positive in the end. But if I am to be totally honest, which is what this thread is all about, then I have to admit that I have been struggling recently with self-confidence, partly due to less than desirable results from not executing my system correctly. This past couple weeks or so have been particularly frustrating, the good opportunities were there but it just didn't happen for me. Posting here again should force me to get my head on straight and report the trade entries per my setups as they occur, as it did before.

From Aug 20 2020:

I am going to do a series of 40 trades rather than 20 because with what I am doing now there should be more frequent trades. The 40 trades should represent about a month of trading most of the time, give or take a few days here and there. We will see how that goes but 40 trades in a series it will be for now.

From first post by realjumper Jun 16 2020:

Since things at times will move very quickly, I am attaching a trade explorer to document the trades for the purpose of this journal. I will still post charts but to be honest it may be very difficult to get the charts posted fast enough, as sometimes I will close a trade then immediately open another one, then not long after that do the same again (all done manually including stops and targets). So this way there can be no doubt about entries and exits for my trades. I do have other responsibilities and cannot sit at my computer non-stop, so hopefully this will be acceptable and stays within the original intentions of the thread. Sometimes stops will move quickly and only by a pip or two at a time, so I may not post every update. But the trade explorer will show current stops and adjustments in real time. The first trade on the explorer is not a trade being posted here, it is just a quick sample trade to make sure I have the explorer set up properly.

This trade explorer is a very small live account (about a burger and fries depending on where you get it) and is exclusively for the purpose of documenting trade entries and exits on this public journal. The trades taken will be extremely low lot size and the percentage gain or loss on the account is irrelevant for this discussion. It is going to look like I am risking an insane percentage, but with this small of an account balance any trade will appear to be very high risk. If I lose the whole thing it means nothing, I need to lose weight anyway so I am probably better off without the burger and fries. This isn't about the growth or decline of this account, it's about documenting the pips gained or lost compared to the initial stop loss (R:R). To my knowledge there is no broker offering a live cent/micro account on MT4 available in my location, there were a couple but as of now there are none. I wanted to do this live instead of demo for the sake of transparency. As far as I can tell there is no way to hide the return (overall percentage lost or gained on the account) with a trade explorer or myfxbook so it will be what it is. My real account balances and the lot size and percentage I risk on trades is 100% my business only, so that information will remain private.

Glad to be back, hopefully we can attract a few more sincere traders and maybe some of the original posters will return. My results may be good or they may go into the toilet, here goes nothing, onward to hopefully many green pips to come!

Closed the trade in profit, late last night. The RBA news was a potential risk event.

Welcome back JW!

I know exactly what you are talking about, I am in the same boat. Yes, this thread will keep you honest!

The TE is fine, as per RJ's first post. So post screenshots when you can.

Thanks!

going for a small sell here, might add later

EDit: closed the trade at b/e
