I have decided to maintain a trading journal for all my trades. These are not in any way Trade recommendations. I have had my ups and downs in Forex since i have been trading may be around a year ago. There have been some wild rides and moments where i have choked as well I have also had all the new traders mindset of GET RICH QUICK when I began trading. But have realized that there is no such thing. Its all consistency, perseverance, patience and commitment. One more thing I thought would make me more responsible is by writing a trade journal. I am trading all the majors and sometimes the crosses if I think that will be a good trade

So here I go! Trades since last week.

1. Buy EUR / USD 1.2978 S/L 1.2875 T/P Open
Close 1.3037
Pips + 59

2. Sell GBP/USD 1.9573 S/L 1.9625 T/P Open
Pips Till now + 66
