Liz Does Forex

So I thought I'd decide to journal my activity for the learning experience. Took a break from trading for a while and returned this week with a tiny $1000 account. This week was pretty straightforward and I managed to pull off 100% with pretty minimal risk. Attached are the week's trades. The real home-run was last night's EUR long, but there were a few decent trades with cable and jpy. Attached is a chart of the week's equity, as well as a spreadsheet with detailed trade records by pair. Here's to a lengthy journal.

Off to a great start, good luck Liz.

Just thought I'd try and help myself with a few charts. First is my current open position in the loonie.

Next, a few EUR/USD highlights this week.

COuple of quickies today. Still holding USD/CAD long and USD/JPY long. Took a few pips on long guppie, short EUR and long CHF this morn.

EUR long +33
GBP/JPY long +27
USD/CHF long +9

I'd call them very short term swing trades.

Pretty choppy week until breakouts last night. Got dicey early in the week but now account back over $2,600. Gotta watch the risk/reward a bit more carefully and not trade pre-news. Still, happy with my ability to read the markets and change positions immediately instead of hanging on and hoping like so many on the forums. Also, no predicting....just riding the momentum. I'll never understand why people will sell into a 50 pip bull candle that is absolutely peaking. Unbelievable.
