I have been trading FX since 2003. I have never seen any benefit in posting trades individually. No one would follow an anonymous trade idea on a forum. And most "Journals" shows no results to date or any lessons from the past trades.
On the other hand, I thought if I publish my results, I would be more disciplined. That's why I started a blog and each week I update it with my live trades. I start updating my trades here as well and am open to all comments and questions.
I have started this account with $ 5000 in Jan 17, 08 (you may find my blog in my profile) and now I am up by roughly 8% in 9 weeks.
I am going to post each week's results with the lessons I learned and the ideas I planned for the next week.
you may see weeks 1-9 here.

P.S.
I am going to post the results on weekly basis starting Oct. 2012 again.

12 trades were triggered this week, 9 winners. In total I banked 216 pips, making the pipage to a total of 419. I earned $ 168.54 for the week (3.21%). For the whole period (10 weeks), I am up 8.37%.

BTD: $ 5418.49

What I did wrong: I was pretty obeying the rules. The only trade which was wrong according to the rules was the kiwi trade and the result was -74 pips (no wonder!).

What Should I do for next week:

1- Continue to concentrate on the selected pairs.

2- Risk no more than 1% per trade.

3- As always said: good results come from good trades. Stick to good trades and good results will follow…

Last night, I have a long position on AUD/USD with a 30 pip stop. When the trade went against me, I covered my loser fast and was happy to have 23 pips of loss rather than 30 pips. The price moved right after my manual stop and hit both targets.
Moral of the story: cut the losers short, but not too short!
Here is the chart:

5 trades, only 1 winner. In total I lost 89 pips, making the pipage to a total of 170 pips. My dollar value for the week was $ -92.45 (-2.88%). For the whole period, I am up 5.25%.
BTD: $ 5263.64
What I did wrong: I consider the loses normal losers. No rules were bent, not emotions were the cause of position taking.
What Should I do for next week:
1- Continue to concentrate on the chosen pairs.
2- Risk no more than 1% per trade.
3- As always said: good results come from good trades. Stick to good trades and good results will follow…
4- Try to finish April positive. My goal is not to have 2 back to back losing months.

Coming back after a long time. Here is an opportunity in E/G. A visible RD in daily time. I shorted and will add to the position once it closed below the small uptrend (shown in H4).

In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

Lower point of the channel, RD and an older trendline. Stop 200 pips for now. Will be moved accordingly.
