I don't know. The biggest issue I faced in the past with this thread was to post the trades. You can either trade or post. That's why I have decided to post only the longer term trades here.

In my case I found keeping a T/Journal was the most valuable educational tool I owned, I can read back the pages in it from over 20 years ago and grab little golden nuggets out which are so relevant to me today.

Experience is the best educator and that experience documented In a trading journal is invaluable in my view, so be it online or written in a diary .... keep it up.

Cheers ......... J

Trade #1
Shorted eur/usd
Reason: Those 2 white arrows + London Session may try to push it down + 1.2525 is a parking place before a move

Not a very good start. First trade hit stop loss even before London Session. Re-entered because push from 1.2577/80 seems serious. Again sl and tp at 0.25% of net asset value

Entered a full position. Short. Reason = It may go back to the parking place of 1.2525, tp at 1.2530 and sl at 1.2580.

Trade #2
Trying to catch a bottom for longs. Reason: London may want to close below 1.2500 or 1.2450 but recent data release does not support shorts Plus This is now London / NY overlapping session. Once London Closes it should go higher. It printed 1.2577 earlier and may go beyond this point.

Trade #3. Entered this Short during NY Session while on work. Went short because I think NY may today do the opposite of what it was doing in the past few days plus both the US and Europe data (ZEW) was good. I thought NY will follow US Data, but they were again very careful today. Little movement, that too in the opposite direction. Intend to close this short as soon as possible, but want to see what Tokyo does in the next few hours.

Did three mistakes in the past 48 hours or so:

1. Switched to short when it broke a support for a couple of pips, I think at 1.2519 or so.

2. Did not notice that auto sl and tp apply to all sub-accounts. Got stopped out at wrong place.

3. Tried to trade both ways when it moved in the second half of NY session, did not lock profits and finally incurred loss.

I don't know what I am trying to do with these trades, even if this account multiplies one million times, no use. The only use of this revived journal seems to be how good are the spontaneous decisions.

In these six days, I learned that it is not the method, it is not the technicals, it is not the fundamentals, it is not the money management, it is not the patience, it is not the r/r, it is not the planetary cycle, it is not the black magic ............................. but it is Timing that counts in trading.

.

But in my opinion timing means playing the levels as they will be touched by price. So timing and patience are quiet similar here, arent they?

Have a great we Ch.!
