Hi
I have just completed the Gejordan 2012 Mentor Challenge.
I will live trade from daily charts and will look at lower time frames 4 H and 1H for better entry's.
This is my journal just to keep track of my trades.

AUD/USD Tried a speculative trade near Fridays low after a bupb on 15 min chart.stopped out loss 21 pips.
On reflection against all my rules price was struggling at 38% fibs in a down trend,
Bad trade choice, should have stuck to my 1H or 4H price action for reversals which would have kept me out..

Not a good first week lost 113 pips for the week.most of the losses on Friday - 97 pips.
But worst of all is I have not followed my trading rules.
Start again Rules-

Time uk session except when trading daily or higher time frames
Price action at good locaions
Prefered retrace entry
With the bias
2 losing trade's and will stop trading for the day

Basically need to apply same principles as on the mentorship

Hi das,

You might be better off easing into the longer time frames. It was a little hard to follow your trades above, it seems like you were trading alot of different pairs on multiple timeframes. Maybe pick a couple on daily (or whatever suits) and start there, and use the same process that has worked during the mentorship.

Best of luck,
Scott

Thanks Scott

Totally agree. was trying to change too much too soon, will revert to the basics and trade other pairs when good a opportunity presents itself.
All longer time frames can start on 15 minute set ups.
