This is a personal Journal to track my trading inorder to improve consistency and profitability.

The goal is to become a consistently profitable trader and be making at least a million dollars a week.

I will follow 2 strategies which I trust: MAS and Inside candles.
I will only take a maximum of 2 trades a day.
Stops and targets will be predetermined before initiating a trade.
Risk will be 10% per trade therefore maximum potential loss per day should be 19%.

Took two trades today and done for the day. Trades did not follow the plan in terms of entry or risk. Work to be done on waiting patiently for trades to present according to the plan before executing. The plan is great and it works; just follow it..
Got lucky and did not lose money which is dangerous.
Next trades should strictly follow the plan without fail...

I will only take a maximum of 2 trades a day.

I never quite understand this approach, though I see that it can prevent "overtrading," which seems to be a problem for some(?).

Aren't you concerned, though, that on some (perhaps many, perhaps most) days, the best trade available might be the third one, or a later one, and you'll be missing its opportunity if you stop after two?

Risk will be 10% per trade

Wishing you the very best of luck with it. I've never seen any trading method or system that can survive such a large position-size as that, so fingers crossed for you that this will be the first; will certainly be watching with interest!

Thank you for your best wishes..

Yes, the main idea here is to prevent overtrading which I have been prone to in the past.
My plan, if I follow it, takes advantage of the best trades available to me so I am not concerned at all about the third or a later one..

and yes 10% is quite aggressive, but I am also only taking the best opportunities according to my plan hence the risk..

Not a great day of trading for me, missed the entry provided by the plan and started chasing; ended up taking way too many trades, lost over half my equity.
Was able to recover and make a small profit but through doing dangerous trading again.
If I stuck to the plan I would have made way more.

Stay composed even when I miss an opportunity, do not chase. There will always be another opportunity to make money. If you miss one, take a breath and
look forward to the next one.. There will always be another great opportunity to make money.

Took my two trades and done for the day. Still working on following the plan diligently and correctly. A slight adjustment is necessary for aditional optimum entry.
Will work on viewing retracements as the natural consequence of trading that they are. Where there is fear there is potential for courage...

Missed two massive opportunities due to not following the plan especially when in a trade. Remember, the plan works, trust the plan and trade the plan.

Consider setting tp at 1000 points from target on Gold..
