AN
16 pips @1stDouble

Really liked the entry on this one.

=============================

AN
-8 pips @1stDouble
Missed out on a nice little short due to not having enough OPM that I wanted to risk at the time (prematurely going up into the 1stDouble stage). PA went 2 pips higher than my manual exit, then went Short.

Week high: 2.6%
Week low: -1.81%

Interesting week, really interesting trading week...

I did a large number of 10pip scalps (9 :lol: ) (large, in comparison to the fact that I don't usually aim for 10pip trades). HOWEVER, in the beginning of the week, *I AM* now making it a priority to first take the smaller, more guaranteed profits. Just to make sure that I am building away from using my own money...so many losing weeks in 2016........! ](*,)

I was going to stop trading Wednesday a.m., after the trade that got me to 2.6%, (it was an NU trade @2ndDouble), but then NU made a 100% pullback, so I felt like I should try and trade it back down again.

Subjectively, I definitely had a clearer mind this week. Hoping that I have some tacit, implicit wisdom setting down firmly into my brain cells that will continue to carry over.

Adjusted my Limit Order higher, b/c I am currently in an AN trade that I want to give some time to. (Also, I don't like trading both AN & NU Short at the same time.)

I actually did take a NU Short scalp while I was in the AN trade.
I liked the entry, so I'll post it

I hate that my pics have to be so tall (675pixels x 1200pixels), but since I can no longer trade through Trade Interceptor, the most comfortable way for me to flip back and forth between both the FXCM [placing and adjusting trades] and Trade Interceptor [chart watching] apps, is to use my phone in the vertical position. :(

(If the pic is shorter than 1200pixels, the wicks are very difficult to see)

There were some other trades in particular that I really liked throughout the week. One was kind of a 'glitch' trade, the rollover volatility at 5P EST triggered my entry and TP almost simultaneously.
The other three were trades that I really liked the entry on.


AN (glitch trade)
10 pips

CadJ
8 pips
This was my first trade of the week, I just wanted to get some positive pips, volatility seemed slow, and based on the chart, 10 pips seemed like it would be expecting too much. But I liked the PA, so I took the entry

NU
-7 pips @1stDouble

Was attempting a higher leveraged scalp towards the psychological number .7000 , it didn't work out, despite what the PA was looking like. (Luckily, a solid trading mentality kept me from taking a bigger loss than necessary.)

UCad
10 pips

Was aiming for something much bigger, but as PA was starting to come against, manually took profit @10 pips

Missed trade worth 40 pips
The only thought in my head when I saw this missed trade was, "How the hell am I supposed to make money when I miss trades like this?!?" :lol:
When I set the Stop Limit Order, all I wanted was a measly 6pip PB to get me into the trade... :o

Set Stop Limit Order :!:
It was 817A EST, so I was hoping that 830A economic news would bring in a little volatility to hit my Limit Order 8) :!: :!:

I realized this week :!: that if I only HIDE my trade entry symbols, rather than delete them, I can go back at the end of the day/week whatever, and get a bird's eye view of what the hell it was I was trying to do throughout this bastardization of ideas that I call a trading system :shock: :oops:
