I will post my trades on this journal.
It would be a pleasure if I can contribute to this Forum as I have learned a lot from it.

I trade mostly 3 pairs, eur/uds, usd/chf, gbp/usd.
I look for price action set-up around trendlines, fibs, round number and level of sup/res, no indicators and sometime naked chart.
I mostly use technique and knowledge posted in other threads, to name and thank a few: Jacko's Forex House of Pleasure and Pain, James16 Chart Thread, The DIBS Method . . . No Free Lunch continues, 4 Hour Strategy (Phillip Nel).
I will try to keep it simple and well disciplined, trade the trend, use stops, wait patiently for a trade.

This is a chart of a trade I'm in at the moment, I usually don't like to trade over the week end but this is an exception and a medium term trade.

I'll try again, the excuse this time is a 4hr pinbar on e/u, long @ 1.5593 sl@ 1.5530



EDIT (Wednesday 9.34 gmt)
PA is slow and we have a couple of news that might shake the market today.

I have closed 50% for +15pips and moved the stop for the remain at BE +1

short e/u @ 1.5577 sl 1.5620 reason is a DBHLC on the 1hr

long usd/chf @ 1.0480 sl 1.0437 DBLHC

Risky trade against the weekly trends, but that is what PA is showing me, I will trail the stops.

Looks good to me! Price action is short, inside bar broken on the downside on the 1hr and th 4hr.
I try to take it easy with the Yen because of their volatility and correlation with the market index.
Happy pipping on that, I will check your entry in your thread!

I was sure the news was at 1.30 gmt, but it was at 1.15....

Thanks a lot for the support sonicdj!
I like to scalp, but I'm not that good at closing trade at -10, -15.... so I shouldn't even try!
This time I was stopped by my trailing stop and it was frustrating as the direction was right so I re-entered trailing my stop closely.
Made a few pips, better then sorry
Happy pipping tomorrow!
