Yes, a retracement was going to happen after dropping 400 pips. I'm just watching from the sidelines very relaxed tonight.

UJ: Lucky to get out in time, this BOJ keeps bringing up news out of nowhere.
GOLD: Hit my SL.

No more trading in this session. Hopefully, the US session will smile at me.

Trading can feel overwhelming at first, but no one starts as an expert. I’m looking for a trading buddy so we can support each other, share ideas, and grow together. Whether it’s discussing trade ideas, learning from mistakes, or building discipline, having someone to collaborate with makes the journey easier and more fun. Let’s build confidence, develop skills, and work toward success, one trade at a time. If you’re up for it, let’s connect and grow together!

monday - tuesday was red about -7.4%
wed and Thursday was cover back loss.
And so far gained 7.4%.

the capital is small so the return seem nice but it is small money for big traders.
the all time, mth and year not accurate.

@ITB,

Not sure, why LONG @ 15m eg sell zone? Shouldn't we wait for the EG to fail?

this is to track my weekly performance. 6 Jan 2025 Deposit sgd5000 11 jan 2025 Week 1 = 15.6% return {image}

The trading career is a Marathon not a sprint.
The goal is to maintain consistency of 5-10% weekly return.

trading is a lonely business for retail traders, it's hard to find someone same as you in everything, you might be aggressive and he might be conservative, you might like scalping trading style and he might like daytrading, you might use large size and he might use small size, you might not use SL and he might use it ..... the list can go on and on. at the end you both WILL force ideas on each other and complicate your trading mindset.

you don't need a trading buddy, you don't need ideas, you don't need to develop skills. all you need is to read the market correctly so you can plan your trading style, entries/exits, MM .... etc.

the only fact in trading is TIME, it can show you direction and trend stages(up/down or sideway)

the next 2 charts are identical but not the same TF, both are showing DAY direction/range using BB, and trend stage reading for 6 hours using ZZ.

TIME= number of TF bars in a period

traders can see the same reading when using the same time settings, guessing is removed.
