The purpose of this journal is similar to my previous one. To monitor my trades, examine my progress, and enhance discipline. One issue I've had was keeping to one currency -hence the name of the thread.
I will be trading only one strategy on this one currency. A modified version of The Dance / Choros. Not much difference just the way I understand it better. Feel free to comment and encourage.

Thank you

Wnabo.

Good Luck wnabo,

Your Trade Report says you have a win rate of 46%, yet you are in a 33% DD. What Risk to Reward are you using?

Thanks. Ive been jumping around a lot sampling strategies and dumping them them. I also work. Sometimes I miss the big moves and start trading during a losing streak. So the current results do not reflect the current trading plan. But the strategy works. I just need time to trade it. Happy to take any advice you offer and with your eyes to monitor me Im sure I will discipline my mind to focus on the task at hand and stop wandering.
Welcome

Likewise. Maybe we can bounce ideas off each other.

Traded this one on my phone and made a big mistake that paid off. I used a leverage that risked 1/3 of the account and didn't realize until after the trade.

Which direction do you think the pair will go today?

My view. UJ today down. Wait for 103.80 - 90 area. And then sell off.

Remember this: I am usually wrong big time at prediction.

Apart from the trade I took in the early hours of the day (my time) that ended in a loss as posted above I didn't trade today. Not much chance to; and, it is Non farm payroll day so, not too much of a miss out as far as I'm concerned. My strategy - like most strategies- might not always work well with news.

Sorry for late reply. Just my hunch. Nothing.
