In couple words: on of the best weeks in my traders history. The strange thing is that the pairs I've traded this period mostly were the ones I didn't like: EUR/USD or USD/CHF. First (USD/CHF) shot gained me 6.4% and I understood that it is my time. Having the confidence added "C" money management into action..boom! Everything else is in the charts.

Weekly profit: 21.5%.

Will be more! Have a nice weekend!

I've been mostly resting this week. A month start so there is nowhere to rush especialy after the previous home run week. Although a small profit has been made with the only EUR/JPY trade taken on Wednesday.

Weekly profit: ~1%.

The week that reminded me the basic concept of Forex business. Talking about my own situation it was not the techniques but the personal life issues. When it comes to balancing in between a traders life and a personal life - it is necessary to find the middle.
The week started with a loosing NZD/USD trade. Then a row of b/e trades and the left part of the week - tired mind and no concentration. Managed to see what was happening and stopped the situation of the week with a small loss. Not a big loss (1%), but the one that in some case woke me up after a row of profitable time periods. You can never forget where you are as it is FX - a jungle. And you can never think that the situation can never change. I'm always trying to find the mistakes when they are beginning to evolve. I'll honest - began to ease up. The result is clear.

Week result: -1%.

Very very True MR C,

Last year i was growing my account until i got to September...
Something happened at work, I lost a lot of money, the situation
became quite stressful......

It affected me deeper than I thought....

From September to end of year I gave back just over 8%, a DD for
me that just inflamed the work situation, a big lesson for me,
I should have dealt with the work issue and left the trading until
i was "sound in mind" .

A very humbling experiance.....

I think these experiance's mature our reason, we are continually
learning about ourselves, i think for the better..

Sorry to hear about your week.................Ja.

Memories caught in time but never forgotten

Love this picture. This is the first trade of the previous week. Entered too early, got a loss and didn't get back to kiwi. But will be back on it as it is one good looking possibility.

It is getting hard for me to post everyday markets movements seen on my charts because of the time lack. Wanted to say sorry for all who are following the thread. Will try to put these weekly analysis at least. A good week and the account is back on track. Made some mistakes while exiting the market though. Some nice PA could be seen the previuos trading week. Managed to grab some of it. Beginning of the week - kiwi and AUD/JPY didn't fill my expectations but still gave some pips. EUR/JPY was definetely the pick of the week. Banked it.

Weekly profit: 3.9%.

This week has been quite and relaxing in terms of my personal trading volume. There has been less orders but the size (LOT) of them has been a bit higher than usual ones (had some profit that could be put on the table). Result: 100% accuracy while opening the positions. Week started with EUR/USD (that didn't reach my planned TP but has been closed with profit) and NZD/USD that reached the TP when closing the gap. GBP/USD - a buy on Thursday but this one has been closed for couple pips as I wanted a better price. Didn't get it.

Weekly profit: 2.9%.
