I decided to start a journal to record my trades and for accountability. I still have a lot to learn and working on getting better. Feel free to comment or ask questions.

I trade mainly NY open for couple hours and sometimes Asian session. I live in US west coast so the London Session starts at 12am, NY at 5am and Tokyo at 5pm. As you can see the timezone is not the greatest for trading.

I mainly trade 5M and sometimes go down to 1m to scalp or for better entry. Some of the best threads in FF that helped me the most were
Niceguy Ridiculous 7 Pips Trading System
Psych Levels, Pivots and Trendlines - Resurrected
Jankone M5 thread


I started out with $500 live account, trading .10 per pip, will increase that as I get more confident.


I'll add more as time goes.


I'll post some of the set ups that I look for.

I took this trade today closed it for 3 pips. I thought price will go down more but it started to retrace so I closed it.

Got out with 2 pips as price had hard time breaking 4524 area.

Edit. price went up 35 from my entry, should of not closed the trade but its alright next time.

Took the tripple top on GU, my entry was a little bit late, TP was 10 to 15 pips. The fartest it went was 9pips and hit BE.

Took a quick scalp for 2 pips on 1m

...just dropping by to show some support for your journal.
You have always had good risk control (unlike me).

Good Luck, I will keep an eye on your charts and Trade Explorer.

Thanks for stopping by Intu. It looks like you got back to making some nice trades, great results on your Trade Explorer. Feel free to post some of your charts. It's always nice to see how you scalp.

Took short on GU and got out with 8pips my stop was about 10 pips, it came within couple pips of my stop. After I got in price was just going up and down couple pips.

After being in the GU trade for 25min and closing it for 8 pips, it got me thinking if I should only stick to EU. I mainly trade EU but I also watch EJ, AU and GU. My plan is to only take VERY high probability trades on EJ, AU and GU because their spread is pretty high and they require bigger stop loss. I will probably still watch the other 3 pairs and see how it goes and maybe just drop them.

8 pip trade

I dumped AU pair because I only watch it and I don't remember taking any trading on it. So still watching EU, GU and EJ. My main focus is EU but will monitor EJ and GU as secondary pairs.

Took another 8pip loser today.

Did not trade today, was busy with some other stuff, plus taking time to reevaluate my trading and trying to improve on discipline.

Yeah, definitely, looks like I'll be in town. I'll PM ya.

Price formed a pin bar at the NY open, so I put sell limit order couple pips under the low of pin bar. Limit order got hit and price shot down. I closed trade when price hit the 1.4500 because previously price bounced off that level. So I got out with 9 pips, it did go 5 pips down more before reversing.

Got stopped out.

Got stopped out at BE +1. Done for today, planning on trading NY open to London close tomorrow. Will see how that goes.
