1 Trade/Pair/Day [My Trading Journal]

I have been trading since 2006 [live for 2 years 2007 and 2008 and lost good amount] then kept myself away from trading from 2009 till 2010 October. Trying to comeback with some strategy - with Weekly & Monthly pivots [demo trading till end of February 2011 with 10K account 1:50 leverage] ie., 1 trade per pair per day cos I do have a 9 to 5 job and can't sit in front of the PC for trading.This method needs only 15-30 minutes for me to enter my orders for the day with no monitoring after that. Changed the order size to 3 lots 20000+20000+10000 with 21/34/55 SL/and nearest pp TP (02.03.2011).

If I make positive in demo with this strategy then go-live again with a 10K account.

I trade AUDUSD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURJPY, EURUSD, GBPUSD, NZDUSD, USDCHF, and USDJPY.

This is strictly to log my trades only and I will be posting my pending orders/trades between 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST on weekdays and around 10:00 pm EST on sunday.

Split the order into 3 lots (20000 + 20000 + 10000) with 21 TP/SL, 34 TP/SL and 55 SL/nearest pp TP respectively.

Never should have taken the EURGBP shorts (even though I had a valid signal) as I know it's sitting on the monthly pivot and I did close my yesterday's short at the monthly pivot for +65. Hope to remember this lesson.

I think trading is not for a 9 to 5 worker.
I'm gonna quit for good....not the job
