My New YouTube Trading Journal

UPDATE: You can now join me on my public and FREE Telegram,
where I will be sending out the trades I will be taking for the day so you
can get real-time notifications every time I open a trade. - https://t.me/ProfitWithVince

Hello friends and fellow traders,

I am creating this thread in FF as my trading journal where I can post my trades from starting a 100k Challenge Account BUT this time, I am including my everyday trading sessions and not just Before and After screenshots.

My new channel will be my online trading journal but this time, I Will be fully transparent with everything I do, no holding back or hiding anything. People who watch how I trade will surely get a lot of good practices and approaches on how to be a consistently profitable trader. No sugar coating and cherry-picking because I will post all my losses and profits.

So without further ado, my YouTube channel is https://youtube.com/@ProfitWithVince

Feel free to watch my previous live streams and upcoming live stream if you want to see all my trading journeys from trading and passing a prop firm challenge account to finally getting a Funded Account all the way up to getting a PAYOUT, and will just repeat the process while I buy more challenges from different prop firms to insanely grow my overall capital from 6 figures to 7 figures then lastly 8 figures capital would be my ultimate goal.


Just to give a few more details:
1. I am trading ONE pair already to focus on one chart only so I can have more relaxing time from the market because I learned over the years, we can become very exhausted if we are watching and managing a lot of pairs. If there's no setup, then I'll be glad to close my laptop and just do other productive things outside the market.
2. I only if not mostly trade during the NY session. But 10% of the time, I may trade the London session if I see a Very good setup.
3. I trade US30 only now since that's the most profitable pair for me after a comparison of my past results.



You can view my Trading Journal Here as well
If you are on Twitch too, here's my channel for you to watch during the NY session



You'll RARELY find a trader who will trade live, and show everything on the screen.
ALL losing & winning positions.
With a trading journal for you to track and understand why a trade has been executed.
Visit my YouTube and FREE Telegram if you want only FULL TRANSPARENCY AND HONESTY.

Took a -$1,197 loss from yesterday's US30 and today's GBPUSD trade.


Have one buy trade of US30 running trade from yesterday as well because the market did not open today.


Will STOP trading the 2 Free Trials so I can FOCUS on the E8 Challenge Account only starting on Monday and hopefully to pass the Phase 1 and proceed with Phase 2.

I'm doing a review of my overall performance and realized huge mistakes that I've been doing.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...R5U/edit#gid=0

Currently, as of Mar 31, I am up 9R with
6 Wins with 15R
6 Losses with 6R

And then I found out that 5 of my Losses were not valid trades to begin with. So I only have 1 losing trade where I followed all my rules and this is a valid loss because all my requirements were met but still lost. So, for the 5 losing trades that cost me 5R.

I should have been up 9R + 5R = 14R instead of just 9R.

Here are the lessons I've learned so far.
Posting it here not just for my own record but for other traders who are already following me:

1. If there's no sell/buy zone on the left for a valid OB, there's a big chance that the price will continue up or down instead of reversing since there's really no zone for the price to change direction. Look for a trend continuation and not a reversal.

2. Not because the daily lows/highs were broken, it means the price will reverse. Price can just retrace and continue. The break of the daily highs/lows can mean that it's a push for lower/higher prices and will just retrace to continue way further.

3. Not all sweep of daily lows/highs is a reversal, sometimes if there's no OB, the price will just retrace a bit and continue the initial push.

4. Base the previous OB zones that were printed during NY session only from 8 AM to 11 AM NY Time or sometime even from London session but never past 11 AM NY time.

Was able to close last week's buy trade and turned it into a $1k+ profit.



Back to the $103,847 balance territory.



Will start focusing on the challenge account for now so I can proceed to Phase 2.

Malapit na pala makuha ang target sir.

Tried shorting US30 early this Asian session because this has been going down straight for 2 days straight now without any pull backs.

But took a -$285 loss for today since price can't go down further anymore.

Will wait for another opportunity on NY session instead.

Kaya nga sir. Konting tiis nlng.

Good luck sir.
Sakin naman hopefully makabalik sa base. Last week -7% port. Buti this past two days nakabawi nasa -2% nalang. Hirap talaga bumitaw sa lossing position kaya lalong naging madugo.

Konting nalang sayo sir makukuha mo na yan today. CONGRATULATIONS

**Missed Trade**
Even 1 trade a week like this is good enough for me!
