Journal for my Self-improvement

Closed all position. Could have been a very good day today but lost overall

Today's plan is this buy after price closes above 2323 otherwise sell. Currently I am selling again. I have doubts about this zone tho. Idk if it will work out

Lost 8.5 pips.
Also price did not come for retest to my zone so I have no trade on.

I was embarrassed to show this coz I got trapped trying to take long. I will try to average this out buy more at falling prices and try to profit from this trade

will buy more at the orange zone below and blue zone

Closed all for breakeven.

Took sell

Closed it breakeven due to new information

Bought but idk it could go further down to the next zone also

Will try to buy more and average out in this area

Closed all for breakeven. I thimk i am negative for the day and for the week. will post weekly and monthly results later.

Weekly
-8 pips *2 = -16$ this week
Monthly: I started 03/06

The results show that:
-Not the best risk reward/ average gains- loss ratio
-The win rate is also low
-Apart from one instance where I collapsed in the first week, I think the losses have been controlled properly. No other losses greater than 30 pip
-Overall profit isn't shiny and it is not gonna buy me a Lambo yet. However, I am glad that I am at least slightly profitable over a big sample size.
- Second half of the month when I started 0.2 lots was much better and I kept max loss to 20 pips which is so good. Also my average profits went up
- Win rate is where I have to really improve because first half and second half I had similar win rate despite increasing my average profit. That means being very selective, patient and take A setups only. Also sometimes maybe stay out of the market if there is nothing
First half results 03/06-03/20

vs Second half results 03/20-03/31

Plan for this week:
-The goal this week is to take better trades at same lot size because I didn't follow the NN properly last week. Also, my win rate is low and I would like to bump my win rate.
-I have observed that most of my losses have come in the late Asian market where market is still deciding for the bias. Since I cant take entries and manage position in London session, I give up trading in these times. I will only trade the morning NY session.
-Most of my losses happened when I was impatient with entries. Therefore, pending order is a must. I did not follow this rule to the fullest last week. Until all of my entries are pending orders I will not bump lot size.
-I gave back too many profit this week. After going up like 20 pips I cannot be losing from this position. Again, I gotta reinforce this taking PP at the right area which I didn't do effectively last week.
-I cannot deny that smaller timeframes are so good to add positions. I have made a lot of winning trades by adding position early in 5 min. However, smaller timeframes has also caused me stress and more losses. I also observed that in all my winning trades 30 min itself would have been quite good enough to add positions. I did not have to add position early in 5 minute timeframe. Therefore, I ban myself completely from peeking and making any trading decision on timeframe lower than 30 minute. Also after adding all the positions, there is no need too look at the market except at the end of every 30 minute candle.

Same goals this week. If I keep doing the same thing, I will not progress. I will have to exercise my willpower and discipline to progress this week and this month. I wanna make big money in the future and big money requires utmost discipline and willpower. I have to do this. I have no choice but to do this. This isn't easy. Making big money isn't easy. I will have to sacrifice my instincts to take shortcuts and do the easy thing. I have to challenge myself to rise to the highest. I don't wanna come back to the same mistakes and have same goals every week. Let's be serious man. I have what it takes to do it.
What is it that is hindering me from doing the right thing? Perhaps I wanna progress quicker, but you know that I have to obey time. I cannot beat time. I can only follow the process to the highest of my ability. I will feel satisfied if I gave it my all. If I do that, the results will also come eventually. It will come. The results aren't in my hand. I can only control what I can control. Then let's control this process to the highest of ability. Let's follow what I have set out for this week. Let's do this man. LETS GOOO. I want it and I will do it. I will not make excuses.

Technical plan this week:
I am expecting the monthly red zone 2000-2200 to be touched this week.
Currently price is below daily green zone & hovering around weekly orange zone. So if price closes below orange zone it would look very good bearish until it meets monthly red zone.

I might be bearish for the start of the week and then bullish from the monthly zone. All depends on what price does.

Took short

Stopped out. Lost 11 pips

If price close above green zone then i might take a retest buy

Buy limit at 2378.

Cancelled it for now
