I edited some lines because honestly I’m still a little shocked from yesterday, and I felt a few things came out the wrong way. Sorry about that.
One thing I can say about myself is that I know how to accept my mistakes. The important thing now is making sure I don’t repeat them again. From now on I’ll pay more attention to discipline instead of emotions, headlines, or ego.
I’ve also decided to simplify my portfolio completely. Only GBP/USD (Cable) and EUR/USD (Fiber). Just two pairs. That’s enough for me. No more chasing every market and every move like a madman looking for dopamine in candlesticks.
The strange thing is... despite the setbacks, I can actually notice changes in myself compared to before. I’m calmer than I used to be, more aware of my weaknesses, and slowly becoming more responsible with risk.
Maybe progress in trading is not becoming a genius overnight. Maybe it’s simply becoming less stupid day by day.
Sorry to myself too.

D1, shooting star closed right at resistance.
I’ll be looking for short opportunities on Cable next week if price confirms the rejection.
Peace folks, happy weekend.

Yesterday’s EURUSD short.
Couldn’t update it earlier.

The chart already looked weak with lower highs forming consistently, so I stayed bearish on the setup.
Then on the macro side, when Iran called the deal “fabricated,” it gave me even more confidence in the short bias as market sentiment started shifting again.

Held the idea, trusted the structure, and price eventually rolled into the TP area

Happy Thursday, traders

Eur/Usd rejected D1 resistance once again and closed with a shooting star candle.
For now, my bias remains bearish. I’ll be looking to reload shorts only if the market gives a clean bearish structure and proper confirmation.
The overall price action still looks heavy to me, especially with lower highs continuing to hold under the descending trendline. Bulls are trying, but so far rallies are getting sold into rather than accepted above resistance.

Yesterday I avoided the EURUSD short.
The bearish case was there, but I didn’t like the structure, so I stayed out. No trade is also a position.
For now, we’re sitting inside a 22-pip range. The next decision comes after a breakout, not before.
Happy Friday to me... managed to avoid donating money to the market for another day

In the current market conditions, I'd rather stay on the sidelines than take unnecessary risk.

Managed to capture 31 pips shorting EUR/USD and GBP/USD into the weekend. I exited a bit early, but that's part of the game. There will always be another opportunity. This was actually my first trade of the week.

On a personal note, this week was special for another reason. I bought my car.

The feeling was hard to put into words. It made me reflect on where I started and where I am today. The journey has been painful at times, with plenty of setbacks and lessons along the way, but looking back, it was absolutely worth it.

I'll be back on Monday with full energy and focus.

Thank you to everyone here. I've learned so much from the Forex Factory community over the years. Every discussion, chart, idea, and even disagreement has taught me something valuable.

Wishing everyone a great weekend.

Much love and respect to you all.

Hard to believe, but later on down the road, you will miss this period of the journey. However, going back is not nearly as rewarding in many ways that can easily be taken for granted. When you can afford 20 cars all of them combined will not hold as much joy as just this one car even if it has a loan payment. Money does NOT BUY HAPPINESS. The most miserable time of my life was when I could not tell you how many envelopes I had stuffed with $100.00 bills in my top dresser drawer beneath my Fruit of the Looms and that was the tip of the iceberg.
