Hi all.
I been here a long time, and thought its time to do a journal.
I had many accounts over the years, most have done ok, the reality is I only played at it over the years.
Success id say 70%, I'm no big player and my returns have been modest in the low 100s each time I set myself up again.
I know my weakness, and its been/still is the hardest point i have to overcome. (Work in progress) I seem to enter trades well, but I set my SL to short or my trailing SL which when it takes a pull back it wipes it out, then heads for the hills which by that point I lost the edge.
As you see from my last trade, it should still be running and plus £40 but got hit by that pullback that hit my trailling TP.
Due to life pressure's work etc this was always a on the side job.
But due to health issues I can no longer work full time, which has freed up more time to get back into trading.
Due to not having a regular income, my capital is low for the moment, in fact the lowest I have ever put in an account, is is also till I get myself back into this I don't want to risk too much too soon that will come in time.
Also I would I like to apologise for my spelling and grammar, while it was never the best its a lot worse since my Diagnosis, which effects the brain, thats one more reason I stayed away from tradeing.
numbers. I was a numbers man, English out the window but numbers was my thing, that has taken a real dive for sure. (He says getting back into the markets) but its a lot better than it was.
So on that note, if you don't have anything nice to say then why say it at all, and over the years I never seen anyone really do that on these forums, but it does happen so JUST DONT. I don't care and you will just make a fool of yourself.
I'm not sure why I'm doing this journal, norm I'm a private person, I don't brag, I don't look down at others, we all people with our own little ways, and thats fine by me.
I might fall flat on my face, and you know what, that's OK. Its not the fall, its how you pick yourself up that counts.
Any questions fire away
