I am posting my trades from when I open my current live account. It is a mini account. I trade EUR/USD and use Bollinger Band, Simple Moving Average, & Fibbo as my indicators. I review all time frames before starting the trade and then during the trade the one, 5, 15, 30 minute & hour chart.
I trade the Euro and US sessions, mainly US. Any comments for improvement is appreciated.

I allowed myself to get too nervous to trade live when I read other's opinions and news reports about the market.
I did trade my system on my demo account (I always try to trade system either live or demo each day so I can improve and gain more confidence).


December 22 2008 results demo trade:

+65 pips

8 trades, 7 profitable, 1 losing.

EUR/USD Sell from 14:44 to 15:47 GMT


Won't trade live anymore until next week, because of Holidays.

Merry Christmas!!

The results are amazing but I'd like to see more in depth what you're doing here because simple results aren't much more than superficial. Plus I can't give comments without knowing what's going on. So far you're either really lucky or performing quite well.

Agreed, The purpose of opening a journal is to acheive something. Posting past results like this is rather pointless. Shair a method, show some analysis, document results for individual trades for your own benefit, or whatever floats your boat.

Aside from that, looks like your doing great, well done!

Looking at your past results you've been performing really well, so keep it up! When it comes to trading live its much more different than on demo. When i first started trading on live account i felt the same as you do when you read about other people's opinions. I have found the key is to listen to what your charts are telling you - you have a system which is looking good and the results show. In addition, you are observing multiple timeframes which is great .

Hope this helps you a little.

Oct Nov results were good due trending market, which was the system used previously.

Reviewed and Revised systems, and back to trading live. Using 2 to 3 various entry systems some from here and own exit system


1. e/j 0 pips

Got greedy market reversed to stopped at entry, if exit plan used correctly should have been 28 pips.


2. e/u 4 Pips

Got luckly was false entry.

3. e/u 20 Pips

Both entry and exit system used correctly.

4. g/b 25 pips

Both entry and exit system used correctly.


5. e/u -9 pips

Entry was correct, but 2nd guessed by myself and closed, trade when on to be positive between 28 pips if exit was used correct.



Todays total 40 pips

Could have been much better but ok got to work on following both entry and exit plans more.
