MY Journal-phil13

as i suggested in the H1 chart above something was afoot in the market and bulls building positions, i did not trade it as i try not to trade my personal thoughts unless it is backed up by actual market proof in the P/A and structure, now the market has shown its hand it will be tradable, but i have a general rule that i follow that i do not start any new trades after 4pm which is only about 15mins away, so going to call it a day now. hope the rest of you had better luck than me and made some money today.

here is the chart update...

H1 ...

today's charts....

first trade.....

last one yesterday that i held overnight as very little london/NY action...

next trade ....

someone turned up, had to leave the trade run and was stopped out, joys of working from home.....

out at B/E on this one...

last trade of the day.....

today's charts....

first trade out at B/E......

this trade was runaway, very hard to jump on these.....

another B/E trade due to news......

news hit and run trade...

another news trade, calling it a day/week now, good luck to anyone who is still trading.....

For the next couple of weeks I may not be posting any of my trades, I may post some charts with what I see marked on them now and again, I will still be trading just not showing all my trades like I have done over the last few weeks, I will answer anything that is posted here if anyone wants to ask anything, I think there is probably enough examples of my trading and its journey here to maybe hopefully help some of you out to find your own way to trade the different market types, events and times. The market moves are not entirely random, it is knowing how and why the market goes from one place to another that will make you profitable as a few people on here have shown, the market structure and how its participants use that structure for their own gain is a key thing to learn all about, only then can you see what may happen by looking behind the charts and into their ways.

Good luck and happy trading to everyone especially to alexandria, dbrown101 and fex who have been very supportive of my attempt at creating a thread here on FF and of course a huge thank you to FTI for his thread and the help he gave me that has got me to this point in my trading.

how it finished the week and what i see marked on the charts....

today's action, i do not usually mark the lower chart up as it it better to keep it as clean as possible.

basic working of the market price structure, you will see this play out time and time again....

how the MM's and big traders use the news....
