Hi Steviet! I'm just one of the many here who are hanging on your every word - your thread was the reason I started an account here, and I've been having a lot of fun! I'm sad to see that your journal will be coming to an end toward the end of this year, but I have a feeling a lot of people are going to go crazy for an encore, so we'll see how you end up reacting to that

What happens after that time? Will you be leaving the forum to become a big-time Forex broker?

Well anyway, I'm gonna go back to staring at these numbers!

Hey d

Hmm, I could do with one of whatever you're drinking

Thanks for your post and if somebody, somewhere has learnt just one thing from this thread then that's just great! I've tried to keep it fairly easy going so it's not too boring lol.

Let's see where we are in 7 months time. If I'm still here & making pips & people want me to continue posting I may just do that. First objective is to get through the year pips positive and the knowledge that I maybe can actually do this.

Anyhow, feel free to post anytime & welcome

Kind Regards
Steve

Well, the Aussie news did for my AU & NU trades within seconds of release for minus 68 and minus 36 pips.

Lucky I decided to start trading GBPJPY rofl.

April pips: -221
Cumulative: +975

Yikes, at least I have 200 pips in the bag on GJ - this is the first time closed trades dipped below 1000 since December.

Oh well, let's see if GU makes it through the night.

Catch you later

Kind Regards

Hey Steve,
Thanks for the comment on my journal.

Looks like your doing very well yourself, I'm going live as soon as my check is deposited into my account which should be either later this week or early next week. Hopefully i will be able to stay positive in the live account as you have done. Technically that puts u in the top 5-10%!

Keep on Trading!

Well, my GU bit the dust overnight for minus 58 pips. How the market can crucify you for a bad call lol. Should've gone long on all 3 pairs a day before I did & would have got out with a small profit instead of 150+ pip loss. Unfortunately, should'ves & could'ves don't count lol.

So, into Wednesday we have just 2 trades on - between them they are nearly 400 pips up so would hope to bag some pips here at last.

April pips: -279
Cumulative: +917

Kind Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,
Those trades are just the 'intermezzo' between the big profits, they're already waiting somewhere in the future lol. Keep it moving!

Yup lol,

Look at the 3 that were stopped out last night - all are now trading higher again - talk about frustrating but that's the way it works lol.

Looking forward to my next big payday

Well, UJ just touched above 119.07 so s/l has been brought to break even...

USDJPY long from 118.07 (s/l 118.07 guarantees b/e - currently +99)
GBPJPY long from 231.64 (s/l 233.64 guarantees +200 - currently +316)

GJ really needs to break 235 properly for further gains.

don't let the pips get you down stevie!

i hate to bring this up again, but be careful that you don't dwell on your equity for too long. we all have a tendency to mull over the loosing trades more than the winners - that's part and parcel of being human - but in trading it can seriously sap your confidence.

i'm far from perfect myself (now theres a surprise! lol) but over the years i just look at the charts unless i get a real stinker of a loss. try find your own way of dealing with this pyschological trap, i'm sure you can pull something out of the bag!

Yeah I know, its easy to dwell on should haves but I'm getting better - just need to keep the readers gripped

Anyhow, I may have stumbled on a new career path today to replace forex....my youngest persuaded us to go ice skating & I didn't fall down once - maybe I can become a pro lol.

England look like they're about to lose their World Cup cricket match & Manchester United are 2-1 down to Roma in the Champions League so boys & dad not happy hehe.

On a positive note, it looks like I'll be able to guarantee 262 pips (pip counting again on the yen pairs in an hour or so. The new dollar pairs are a more difficult call after they hit my stop losses & bounced. BOE rate announcement due tomorrow & NFP Friday so it should be exciting if nothing else lol.

I may have to see what's in my bag of tricks but at least I go into April 5th at break even or thereabouts for the month.

Cheers bro

Right, my two yen trades both carry forward into a new day with some more pips bagged. Tomorrow is a big news day for the pound so lets see what happens....

GBPJPY long from 231.64 (s/l 233.88 guarantees plus 224 pips)
USDJPY long from 118.07 (s/l 118.45 guarantees plus 38 pips)

New trades....

GBPUSD long from 1.9764 (s/l 1.9706 guarantees minus 58 pips)
AUDUSD long from 0.8189 (s/l 0.8054 guarantees minus 135 pips)
NZDUSD long from 0.7215 (s/l 0.7157 guarantees minus 58 pips)

Difficult call on the dollar trades - all were long yesterday & got stopped out before reversing strongly. All looking a little toppy but I go long until I get confirmation otherwise from the daily bars.

It's funny but since I changed to NZDUSD & AUDUSD I haven't won a trade but the addition of GBPJPY has resulted in plus 324 pips on one closed trade & one open one.

Wow steve, i see your going back long again on the 3 usd pairs. With such big news ahead it could make or break those trades.

I wish u all the best

We would have to see a mega reversal to lose completely... it can happen just not likely. With the stop losses being so far away there is a good chance that even if the news is bad we will survive to see better days!

I love this system I love always being in the market. I get to catch all of the big moves and if they go against me...no big deal... they get stopped out.

Even if we get stopped out completely, it's just one trade. We will just move on to the next ones!

Keep it up Steve,

Whoa, the USD/JPY and EUR/GBP trades were doing so well, what happened? I went away and came back 3 hours later and the number of pips had been cut in half! Did I miss a newsbreak?

Oh well, could be worse, right?

Well, Leeds just have to stay up otherwise they're gonna be replaced by my other pet team, Scunthorpe - how embarrasing is that

Well, 2 days interest rate decisions & 2 days stopped out by the spike

GBPUSD stopped out for minus 58 pips
GBPJPY stopped out for plus 224 pips

April total pips: -113
Cumulative since Nov 06: +1083

Lets see how the market now reacts as a May hike is now almost a certainty.

I love being in the market all the time too, frustrating as it can be sometimes.

You're right, each individual trade doesn't matter, its the big picture and the consistency over a long period of time that does.

The system itself is still very basic but I want to try and improve it without taking away it's simplicity.

Thanks for the comments Jackie

Hello Steviet,

I have been following your journal lately. Very neat stuff.
Sorry to bring in some ref. from another thread.
Sure you would have read about Tkimble's daily scalp.

Could you share some insight as to how your approach differs from this, if it is different, given both of you are talking about daily entry.

Thanks in advance.
