scalping and growth challenge

.

i rush too fast into a trade. and i did not stick to my plan. i did not set a stop loss....
any advice on me setting a stop loss, and sticking to my plan


this must not happen again. even though i recover most of the trade.

frankly speaking, scalping must be short, lesser than 30 min. better to be lesser than 20 mins.

and sometimes i find it hard to set a stop loss, maybe its due to my ego....

i got lucky because i did not cut my losses. when in the first place. i already set my stop loss to 35 pips...


again i need to say this must not happen again....

scalp latest trade , stop loss 35 pips tp 85pips..
stick to the plan. but went breakeven at 40 pips.
but the price really went my tp at 85 pips.
and it really reversed just at my tp at 85 pips.

so sometimes. i wonder where i went wrong, could it be i worry it might reversed?

i am attempting to see if price touches 4681, i will try to scalp a buy with stop loss of 35pips again.

i will try to set a tp of 60-85 pips this time..
but if only price touches 4681 then i will enter a buy, no buy limits for me.

the purpose is to scalp....

let the waiting game begin again while i wait 4681.
already set my price alert
if it doest touch in 30 min.

i will end the day.

...... cut???

please do not follow my entries
im only doing it for record purpose.

my trades are considered a bad habit.

I DID NOT SET A STOP LOSS JUST NOW BECAUSE I JUST CLICK THE TRADE
AND I WAS ABOUT TO SET IT TO 35 PIPS AND PRICE WENT DOWN.

but i close it now. because it was totally a bad trade.....

end of the day for me.


conclusion. bad trades, bad decisions.

Unintentionally traded an entry because my price alert in ctrader pop the price.
Was about to set stop loss 35 pips and set tp 150 pips. But price eventually went up when i click an entry.
Immediately price set breakeven at 50 pips.


Serious end the day. Its night time in asia now

Good night to myself. Self reminder to make better decisions tomorrow

starting the day by looking at the charts.
ended the day yesterday with many bad decisions,
the last trade was unintentionally entered because it activated my price alert in ctrader

my advise is to use ctrader for price alerts as it has unlimited alerts unlike trading view.

thankfully after my last entry, i did not enter
it went deep till 4639 and then it reverse back to 4715, such a big move

that was one big liquidity sweep. so todays focus is to stick the plan be it sell or buy

to all who enter my page, please do the poll
because im doing a survey which last 3 days, so i like to see the majority

as im typing im looking at the chart, i am trying to understand the daily.
why the OH stop at 4726. looking at m30, it touches a doji and not breaking it.

im trying to see and wait, if price reacts and touches 4721-4723. if it touches 4723,
i will try and attempt a sell with stop loss of 4727 or 4728

for now looking at ltf m30 and h1 4738.55 stays a strong resistance for now.
just for now....

the first trade was entered due to fomo
I literally mark to buy at 4688.19
And it went down almost 45 pips only to reverse back

I close it immediately due to fomo assuming it might go down.
This is the first trade of the day and i have made such bad moves.

Has anyone been in the same situation as this?

There is a long time position BUY target 6500 or open and SL 4480. If the war between America and Iran will stop, so gold will soon exceed 5000. And I think this war will reach a permanent solution in a few days.

bro , i dont need see entries or signal bro. This thread is only about growth, ideas and solution. I dont need see entries.

2nd trade was better. Executed against plan. Stop loss was set. Tp was set. Price eventually hit tp. But as a scalper, i breakeven and let it hit tp or breakeven.


I think the next trade can be better.

Ok, next time share idea only bro.

I don't use a fixed stop loss. It's dependent upon entry signal and structure.
Also, this really is a journal and not for trading discussion forum.
All the best with your trading.

thank you bro for understanding. yes its merely a journal.
i hope people can share with ideas on their strategies of trading.
