--------
I've started this Journal as an easy way to keep note of my trades. Using Fibs and PA on lower timeframes (mainly 5-min just now). Currently using MMAs on 5-sec chart for timing entries. Using a combination of a couple methods I have read about/tried over the last few months. Selected to trade EUR/JPY exclusively (initially).
