I want to pay off my mortgage asap with Choros

and that was brobably the problem

hey bud , u already violated ur own defined rule.

I know. I am still tying to fight my demons

am doing similar thing but i wont post it till i reach my goals , which is a bit high. Good Luck to you for ride.

I am still learning, I still am not a good trader, and I post it rather for myself than anybody else. Good to have journal and analyse own mistakes. The target stays the same.
Somebody before mentioned that I won't do much with 100 Pounds and I do agree. If I become better trader I will start adding to the account.
Still happy I did something good today - I've spotted good opportunity for EJ to enter at 139.00 - as I already had loses (more than I should) I didn't enter. This trade would bring me 20 pips and I knew it but rules are rules (even if I break them sometimes)

I am off to paint few doors ;-)

if you can make 10 pips or even 5 with consistency then you can be very rich in a year or two.

You can definitely make more then 10k if you are consistent , amount don't matter. You have the sward of leverage use it wisely .

you know what is the most annoying thing today? my trades GU and GJ could be successful and all together get me 10-15% profit. After it hit my s/l it went North. GJ went approx 150 pips up from my entry point. Of cource I would not catch all the move, but could get quite a few %. Tomorrow's another day ;-)

Will you ever then?
I think posting things, and being critical with oneself can be a very useful tool toward the goals, and discipline in general.
Everyone has demons to fight, best to do it with all the available resources

OFC why not , i recently made 2000% gain on an account now targeting much higher discipline is must.

for me journal like this one is good - forces to think, stops from some revenge trades _ I think ;-)

Trade 6,7,8
revenge lost me. Entry at gren circle , exit by s/l on red.
Reason for failure - it was third bar touch to 10ema not second. besides I screwed again.
I am still in EJ, if that closes that's it for today. I see I am nowhere to succes yet ;-)

Did you consider to take a break for the rest of the week?
Perhaps just toy around with a demo account for that 1-2 days to get back your sync, and your confidence?
Just sayin'

Today is my last day till Tuesday.
Point is I force trades sometimes. Now choros has trade check sheet - I need to print it out and trade with it. Feel like an idiot today. Over weekend I will read manual again.
Now if somebody expects to see here some get rich results - wrong thread . You will find only struggle, dissapointment and tears

Is it scalping method? do you mind sharing the idea?

Trade 9
EJ - I can't be even bothered to enter chart - trade made due to my stupidity.
I am off for this week
This week's stats:
Trades made: 9
Trades won: 0
Trades lost: 9
Win rate: 0%
I feel bad. Really bad. Confused. Back to learning. Will come back to trading on Tuesday

You are doing fine.

the market has been confusing this week dw

not really. my s/l are strict. I just move them few pips if I see they are around some round numbers. What I noticed is for EJ areas of xxx.80 and xxx.30 are often points of reversal. Besides I need to trade with the check list I mentioned before. Plus I need to read manual every few days.
Mistakes of the week are coming back to same trade. It was shut and I wanted to open it again as I was convinced I am right. I think my entries are too early and this is my problem. Also I force trades sometimes by early entry before candle touches 10 ema, or by entry on flattening 10 ema.
I still think my target is archivable, point is I will have to look at big picture, imagine myself in 5 years with mortgage free house rather than imagine myself today with 10% profit. Of course to achieve it I will have to start adding money to account after I master the method. Dance Manual says you can get from 100USD to 1mln USD in about a year - maybe some can, maybe author could. I aim lower than that in longer time. To be honest I'll be happy if I achieve my target within 5 years.

Except that I try to improve other parts of my life:
I go to gym every second morning to lose fat first (not much left) and gain muscle after it to look better than 90% of people my age (I guess I look better than 90% anyway ), I commute on bicycle to work and gym. Health is very important and the most important.

Of course there is plan B in case I don't succeed. I still try to push my career in logistics further. I am 35 already - I like my job (4 on 4 ff is great working system that gives me time to trade) but I know that I can do better than now - point is I don't want any job. I want job I will enjoy (If you can talk about enjoying any job) - logistics/factory production environment. There are some office jobs I would never do and would prefer to wash dishes or toilets (I was doing it in the past) - all the jobs on the phone in customer service, or bookkeeping/accountancy jobs are hell on earth jobs for me. So better paid job will allow me to pay off more mortgage (bit of diversyfying of my target). At my age I feel it is the last moment to get higher or at the age of 50 I will land some supermarket worker job (nothing against them, just don't want this kind of job)

Plus I started my own blog (not related to forex and not in English) but it is not profitable and won't be - rather a kind of hobby - you need at least 10k guests a day to see money of your blog

I try not to focus only on fx and have few plans I go towards also.
As I say - If I won't try with FX on the bed of death I will be sorry I haven't tried (I woulda shoulda coulda), If I try and fail - on the bed of death I will say - I have tried but it didn't work

I am interested to know your plans which are other than fx
