Week high: 2.06%
Week low: 0.00%

So much for taking fewer trades :roll:
Also, I got sick enough that I had to take a day off from work, I ESPECIALLY should've had less trades on Thursday, but, well, damn, I trade off my cellphone, so there's no real inconvenience besides the fact that I have to keep my eyes open, :smt043 .

I tried using the additional filters, it was kind of a half-assed attempt tho, I guess it could be useful, but I was a bit distracted and couldn't commit to following the idea...

...mainly b/c this week I *also* suddenly got the urge to re-visit "using currency indexes to guide my trading decisions."
I think this time around I actually figured out how to make it work :shock:
At the same time, it correlated a lot with my guidelines for 'trading off of extremes via the midpoints of fractal ranges at the extremes.'

Maybe the currency indexes made me feel a bit more confident because it is actual data of what a currency does vs. other currencies from a single reference point in time.
I could probably further improve my use of it to give me confidence for holding onto longer term trades
  • holding a UJ Short long-term is a great idea if the UJ is "below the midpoint of the H8 7-Candle Fractal Range"...
  • but holding a UJ Short long-term, when you can SEE that the USD has been getting it's teeth kicked in by most of the other currencies for the last 20 hours, feels a bit more comforting...
Using these currency indexes is a little bit of a killjoy in that it takes away from the spontaneity of my trading, where it is just me, my eyes, and my brain versus a chart {{ 3-on-1 and I'm STILL getting my ass kicked, rofl }}; or maybe it is a killjoy b/c it felt a little bit tedious trying to use a java-based web app on my touchscreen phone.

So I feel kind of unsure about going forward with it, as it feels like it would hinder my mental growth as the-kind-of-trader-I-am-trying-to-be, if I now start depending on an external tool.
On the flipside of the equation, one of my closest co-workers just put in her 2-week notice, so it's kind of like, "f¢ķ it, whatever gets me into more 200 pip runs so that I can add zeroes to my account and leave my job sooner!"

Hmmm, I guess logically speaking, you take the easy money first, and THEN worry about filling in any gaps in your personal development once you are no longer slave to an alarm clock ;)


###***###***###
Other than that, time to log into this new account and see what my leverage options at this new broker are, hopefully they have increased. [-o<

Needed to stop trading so that I could focus on getting back into some kind of exercise routine.
Attending a wedding and some of my doughboy best friends were talking about getting fit in anticipation of the multi-ethnicity beauties that are going to be all over the place there. Figured I might as well do a little something something myself...

No trading b/c I have an IB that will get me rebates on my Forex trades (therefore, in the end, it'll be like a reduction on my trading spreads). So, I was just trying to open this new account (still with GAIN Capital / Forex.com ).
I wasn't able to complete the process within this week tho :(
So I don't know when I will be able to start placing trades this upcoming week.
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason I've been a little mentally preoccupied this week as well, and just couldn't get myself to do as much review as I would have liked to.

I need to go back to updating my thread with my progress (well, lack of progress anyway.) It doesn't feel right not doing so, but yeah, I was getting kind of lazy and disorganized in my life, and it ended up spilling onto here as well.
Dealing with shortcomings of the MT4 app, and issues with the data coming through from Forex.com into MT4. I could totally write a rant post about these annoying ass issues I am coming across, but for the time being, let me just get my thread up-to-date first, so that I can trade with a clear mind.

I REALLY do wish though that Trade Interceptor would hurry up and open up their brokerage! They've been shut down since August 2016...


I *do* feel that important learning experiences have been slipping through my grasp during this time that I haven't been posting.

My big meltdown loss during these weeks however, happened in great part b/c of a screw up with Forex.com / MT4.
