EURUSD Semi-Automated Journal by a_trader

iv decided to open a journal to help with discipline

my entries are automated, my exits are manual
i decide the trend, if long trend, i buy when a bar closes below 10ema-open

i try to let my first trade run, i scalp the other trades

i usually trade ny session, i woke up 4 hours early today

today i decided to go long
heres my results so far

il keep posting as i close trades
the gray box is the session i mostly trade, though i can trade anytime

i let my ea open 2 trades, il try to let 1 trade stay open, incase theres a big move

i opened the 2nd trade, then price went against me, i closed 1 trade

il patiently watch before i decide my next move
i put my ea named "none" on the chart
it doesnt trade

about 10% of the time, eu will reverse after the first hour, this could be one of them times, maybe not?

i closed my last trade on the pull back
otherwise i was gonna exit below the fat red line

iml take a break, maybe even a nap

maybe later the trend will be clear again
im still up over 1% today

my biggest problem is patience, and thinking i know what the market will do
it proves me wrong all the time, i never learn

i put my long ea back on the chart, iml eat some breakfast to wake up

usually 4-6 hrs staring at a chart is all i can handle

i usually never buy high like this, but after seeing h4 & daily, i think we can go up a long ways, so i jumped in

usually i would wait for heiken ashi to turn red
since i entered high, and iv had a excellent day, i felt the need to exit

we are now in a resistance areah, il buy again if a bar closes below the 10 ema

as you can see, i have alot of discretion in my decisions

my mind changes fast, and often, like the market

a few minutes ago i thought it could go far, now im thinking it wont
i pretty much follow my gut, most of the time it works out

i created this journal to see if it would help me trade my plan better
so far it hasnt much effects

im probably done for today, i might still scalp some longs

most of the time after a move this big, its best to stop
itl likely range, it could even retrace, possibly the whole move

dont try to catch big moves after a big move

im in again

iv got some things i need to go do, so im done for today

today i made 1.48%

i decided to do some evening scalping in this low volatility

i decided to keep trading today
price is retracing the move from earlier today
i got burned on some longs, but flipped short soon enough

price sometimes bounces from the blue areah, it did but i got slipped
my sell slipped down 15 pips, so i closed it at breakeven
tried a long at the flag retracement, but price broke it

iml let this short stay for a while

i will sell if a bar closes above 10 ema areah

i sold again, i usually will only have 2 trades, sometimes 3

i sold a 3rd time

previous support is now resistance
im to sleepy to wait, gotta go to bed
il be back tomorrow

nice looking up trend today, im buying

ea opened another buy
