LiveEvil's Trading Diary

Hi, I decided to start this journal for my own accountability. I will be posting trades I took. This is not for any sort of advertising.

My main focus is on Forex and the m1 charts. My style would be using a few indicators and reading the correlation between them, as well as price action. I focus on only a few pairs; EURUSD, EURJPY, GBPUSD and lastly, mainly, GBPJPY. My aim is to earn $1k-$3k (for 10 lots) per trading day. That said, I will have to try and keep this at the back of my mind, as I will need to focus on the process and not the results.

There are 3 sessions per day; Japan, London and US session. I prefer the Japan session as I feel like I can read it better, it being less turbulent than the other two sessions. Also because of my timezone, GMT +8, it makes things easier. But I shall try to trade the other two sessions as well, as there is definitely untapped potential there and if not, I would just be rolling around at home anyway.

For the time being, I will only post naked charts with trade history; with all my trades, big or small, wins or losses.

Also, I hope to make some trader friends out here. To make the journey a little less lonely

GBPJPY

Realized it's too troublesome to upload every chart. So I'll just upload my trade results.

I was impatient today. Profit could have been 8+. I didn't check the H4 and daily levels. And I wasn't active around 1pm. And after which I dwelled on it and didn't check the higher levels, so I exited early. If I had checked, I would have held on longer, resulting in a profit of 8+ (at the time of typing) or maybe more.

I guess lesson learnt was that I would have to have constant screen time and to check the higher levels.

Problem with this method is that the screen time is excessive. If I don't see it in time, I don't get into the trade at a good time. I tried only using prime times, but then you do miss out when things do happen when it's not prime time. So it feels as if you really have to be "on" all the time. And I don't feel like I have the luxury to say that I only limit my profit to this level or so since I just started, but yet on the other hand, I feel like I might burn out if I don't. How. Hmm.

missed the earlier move up, as i was doing other things. so i wanted some action and impulsively entered the trade afterwards. ended up with 2 losses.

i guess this means i cannot stop my session for the day, just because i have hit my target amount. because things like this could happen and wipe out my previous wins.

what's wrong with me? i feel like the HTF charts confused me a little and gave me a trending bias. also i was distracted doing other things AGAIN. and my family member came into my room and started chatting with me. -.- but i feel bad for saying no.

edit: i waited for further opportunities and made today positive again.

(lazy? -.-)

resumed. but seemed more out of it. and more impatient. had a huge win in the morning with the first trade. wanted to stop. but since i didn't trade for the last 2 days, i "reluctantly" continued. ended up with many bad decisions, eventually managed to go back up to a small loss and overall had a very stressful day.

so i guess lesson learnt is take your big win and relax. don't feel like you need to "work" more just because you got lucky right off the bat. Just Take It. and also maybe if it happens to hit your target for the day and you're feeling relaxed and lazy, don't push it and force yourself to continue trading. that will most definitely lead to bad decisions.

day after, still felt the stress from the previous day. was a little apprehensive about my decision-making skills. i slept late last night, so i woke up late today, subconsciously dreading the day as the previous session ended up lousy. and as usual i missed the big morning move. thereafter had a few conservative trades. which ended up being the right decisions because the market was moving weirdly and indecisively. feel like ending the day now, even though i have not hit my daily target and the day is young. i feel tired.

edit: i did a few more trades after.

i exited early again today. feeling anxious because of past few days' turbulence. also caused me a little lack of confidence. could have been a 2+ trade if i had stayed in longer. i entered slightly early so i had to experience a lot more waiting.

15 to 30 June 2021, since i started.
