Yesterday was a difficult day for many people. Perhaps such days full of news releases are best avoided. After my trade ( above) I have decided to quit for the day since there is a lot of red news on way.

I had good signal on EU yesterday from London open, but I didn't take it, because I was thinking it will go other way. I'm still learning to take every signal and not thinking.

You are the only one who are still here from beginning btw. Doing well?

Have a good day.

I am fine. Many don't post anymore because once you have got the idea it becomes repetitive and there is no more to learn but you continue to trade it with a few twists of your own. Make it your own in other words. I come back when I get bored and post a few charts that I print off. I have learnt to be a bit more techie and have started my own journal, so I don't expect to be posting here for long. But as Laura told me, it is nice to pop in now and again and add a few comments. But I will leave the thread soon I think since I am aware of repetition and how boring it is

Busy day today doing proper work but got a few trades in. EN countertrend trade on the H1. Spotted this bullish channel break on the M5 chart so jumped in for +18pips. Obviously my entry could have been better timed but hey, we all learning here.

GU long trade up to the ADR High. Got in well late due to other commitments but good for +20 on the first swing and took another punt on the next swing for +9 pips watching it like a hawk in case it changed direction. Doing the trend lines helps me a lot

Example of bad trading on USD/CHF in the midst of news events. M5 showing bullish momentum under the SMA and H1 in uptrend so looking for a buy trade.
Should have waited for a channel break and retest and not entered at the top of the swing. Also moved my SL a bit lower (must stop doing that).
Anyway price hit ADR low and bounced back up. Got out soon as for +15

Just realised something. This week was a good trending one. I was second guessing when to exit trades. If I would implement a simple method what Laura mentioned about exit when candle or two candles to be sure, close on the opposite site of EMA 8, I would be much more profitable.
These are just little things, but very important ones.

Manual trading the roadmap method this week produced 7.4% on the demo account. Testing a couple robots alongside as well. This is probably the best manual trading week in all my years of trying to trade forex and I hope my luck continues next week. Many thanks Laura.
Just reviewing the weeks trades to see where I can improve things.
Trading plan is to aim for 2% a day. 1% risk and reward is 2% , just a couple decent trades per day is all I need, should be do-able right?
