DislikedJuan,
Fxhard has said the best settings are 100 days back because beyond that the data from the broker may not be as reliable etc. He said backtest 100 days then with those setting forward test 100 days. Then you will have a concrete experience of the results.
Also the markets change all the time, there is never going to be some universal setting that can be used for all time into the future.

DislikedThis has great potential. Take note everyone.
How about starting with what your journal looks like now, SP. Describe it in what ever detail... maybe post a pic or two. We'll consider it as the starter template and see where this goes.Ignored
DislikedThis seems to have died before it got started - I am pressing on because I know it is the key to meeting my goals with my trading. Lets see if we can flush this out tonight.Ignored
DislikedI didn't really get what you posted sedona, it just looked like info from the indi.
Wouldn't a trade journal look more like this:
EURGBP
Long Entered @....
BE @ .....
SL @....
TP 1...
Result: out for break even.
with a chart attached.
That's what I was thinking at least?

DislikedI am totally open to being wrong on this thought but since our SSBO entries are what one really might call random, in the sense that we do not establish any fundamental or even technical reason for entries, what is the point of keeping a journal ? The only thing I want to track is the percent won per pair and account balance. Open to enlightenment - for this method.Ignored
DislikedGood point - I am sensing I am trapped in the thought process that I can fine tune things to get better results - The journal idea which is really talked about on page one seems to be an area that I am feeling something is out of alignment with my trading mind. What I have so far is collect as much data as possible, that seems way to random. So I too am looking for guidance in this area.Ignored

DislikedAll you old timers of the thread probably know this....so I offer this to the noobs....
This is what I have discovered in the last 4 weeks. .Ignored
DislikedDoji - I have pondered this also and so have two sets of each pair running for that very reason. The big unknown for me at this time is the DD. With a Martingale of 2.5 do you know what your biggest DD was/is ? On multiple pairs.
I can happily (mentally) cope with one pair going out to maybe trade 5 but if I had multiple pairs open at trade 5 I would definitely be nervous. This of course comes back to position sizing and so to R:R and I haven't happily reached a conclusion on that thought.
Jump in guys, opinions welcome. :-)Ignored
