Just a note for those reading my journal.I'm simply using this journal to progress as a trader.

Any trades mentioned in this journal are for my purposes only. If one
decides to follow, do so at your own risk.

What I'm aiming towards is having a collection of thought processes,
ideas and most importantly how am I treating trading like a business.

The trade that I'll made will be on a demo account.

Pair:GBP/jpy

Pending order at 155.20 above the PPZ(155.00) and above of those highs to the left(4H chart).

Resons:
1.With the trend.I'm determining the overall trend over the wekley chart.
As you can see it's making new LH that bonunce over the 150.00 (strong PPZ)
why I am enterying letly and no from the begining on the bounce over the 150.00 because I dind't see it.

2.look at the daily bar how is rejectet over the gray box that where those precedent highs

3.I'm expecting that 155.00 is a round number to see a large move up after it breaks

SL 50 pips below the 155.00

First area of taking profits will be around the secound gray box

We have here a strong TL that have been testet several time now is the 4th touch of the TL.

I'm concerning about the 1.7700 PPZ but if we would have a strong bounce over the TL I think we will have a break of it.

I will have a buy order above the 1.770, but this depends on how harder will be the bounce over the TL.

I didn't take any trade before yesterday because I was focusing in reading more stuff for better understanding of the market and to find my way in this business

I'm currently reading Larry Lewin - The Secret of Emotion Free trading and from the first few pages it is interesting

I was palying a break of the low of the preceding bar,I'm curently at BE with my other half of position so this is a free run for me.

initial entry 1.6880
initial SL 1.7020
over the weekly chart is curently developing an bearish PB that I'll use to add to my current position after it will break next week.

I was taking out my SL was hit and I have take a loss for about -232 pips

my sl was at 61.8 retracement off the PB and the price was up by +24 pips by that poynt

here is another lesson that I made take

after the break of the PB I was up by +93 pips and I didn't protect myself I was greed hoping(another mistake) that the price will go higher
