Since turbo started a journal, I figured I'd start one too. I'm going to try to actually keep this going this time...

I also want to beat the snot out of turbo...

Current open trades:

B USDCHF 1.2186
B USDCAD 1.1653
B USDJPY 119.31

Live account... risk is variable from 2-4% depending on strength of my signal.

I will be posting opened and closed trades either real-time or for the day.

Note that I do scale out of my trades, so pips reported will be averaged pips...

I have two high probability signals today -- one was for GBPJPY and the other was for USDJPY. USDCAD was a less probable, but signal nevertheless. We'll see what happens. I don't really like any more than four trades open, but I will probably look for one more if it presents itself...

Pairs I Swing Trade:
AUDCAD (synthetic)
GBPUSD
GBPJPY
NZDUSD
USDCAD
USDCHF
USDJPY

I tend to like to look for more that aren't very correlated. GBPJPY and USDJPY are correlated, but I still trade GBPJPY because I believe that carry's have more influence on its movement than anything else. And... it moves very well.

At this point, when I get this many positions open, I generally am done even if I get more signals. I just don't care to open any more, and I like to save some margin back anyway for other strategies that I might like to use... such as a shorter timeframe strat or news or whatever.

I love swing trading. It really fits my personality. And with a pregnant wife, God knows I need to be away from the PC as much as possible...

So far, my week is turning out to be a great one. But like my good buddy, Turbo says, ya gotta take it one day at a time...

Guess I'll be the first to ask specifics on your trading strategy. I understand you trade trends. What else do you look for? Other confirmations? Etc. Thanks.

I do. The letter before the pair indicates whether it's a buy (B) or a sell (S)...

Today's a very light day. I sent one of my IM friends a message reading, "slow day..." His response was, "i needed it.. it let me get some good sleep."

I couldn't agree more. Of course, I'm at the office, so no sleeping here... (at least not while the boss is here... heh)

Last night, I had to close a few trades because I got my exit signals. It wasn't too bad of losses, so no biggie. So far, my open trades will more than plenty make up for any losses this week.

I also opened USDCAD long again, and I just opened GBPUSD short...

Also, I just removed AUDCAD from the lineup and added GBPCHF...
