gbp/usd long
-39pips
-4.3%
couple things, i thought i had a tto stop on but it must've have been set to buy more lots, but also i inputted the order on my laptop with no mouse, so i decided to change my order sheet to another cpu, so i dl it and pull it up...i'm watching price and it explodes through my stop putting me in double my size and i am like wtf so have to manually input my exit and get filled 13pips past my intial stop at double the size. wtf. my stop would have got me out at -2.2%...

oil inventories trade- my favorite news trade...every wed same bat channel, same bat place.
huge surplus
aw i should have used a bigger size, stop was a mere 8-10pips off. Was plus 35 at the largest part of the move.
i need to work more on exits.

+15
+4

a big .0083%

what ever profit is profit. my daily minimum is 15pips a day...so 34(from London) and 15 from New York.

Think I got in about 8pips late, it moved so fast. This bastard took so fucking long to wait to set up.

+34
+19
+4.7%
well...2xmap largest part of the move I was in was +50. hmm.
Refined Plan-
look for the
macd cross on 4 and 2 hr
trade them on the 15min
waiting for 1min stochs...

of course intermarket analysis

I will also fib the 4hrs charts with an alram at the fib points 50-61.8- per 'Darko'

I will also still take the 2min jpy trades...

all of of the charts will be trapped for price
well...too much size on the last two entries which both had bad timing.

again i need to focus on better trade plans.

2 amateur trades in a row. so lame. trying to force it, intead of looking for the choicest set up and waiting.

-7.9% for the day. wow. sucks so bad...amateur mistakes.
good set up, bad entry, too much size
-41
-5.9%

late entry...bad entry...i'm ashamed of this price chase
-11
-2.5%
i deserve this loss...bah
