USD/CAD:
Hourly chart view: Took profitable trades at each arrow, just working the Fibs at 00, 50, 100 off a nice bearish red bar on the Daily.
Daily Chart view: If I had held for my target it would have been even better pips!

GBP/USD:
Daily view: Don’t laugh, as it was so damn simple. I looked left, saw a pretty old area of interest that looked hefty, drew a line and took a Short. This one too would have been almost an easy hundred pips if I held for like one hour longer, but I exited at the screenshot. Ugh LOL.

Mr H,

I did not re-enter on AUD/CAD pair, but damn you are making me re-look at that again. :lol: I tend to jump around between pairs – maybe too much!
I am absorbing your markups more (thanks) and taking those to heart.

All the best,
-West

Love your charts. There are so many good plays this week. UJ is in a triangle, plus it drifted out of my down sloping ML, so I now have an up sloping one drawn. EA already bagged me 20 pips in Asis using doji box. EJ looks like it can drop some more and looking for a retrace on UC. Good luck west.

Did you print out ur winners and losers these past weeks. Make sure you write down what you saw, dindnt see until after, how you planned your trade, if you followed your plan or not. Start a trade journal. Updated it every day while your trading and review on the weekend. I know you told me that you use to use your wife to hold you accountable. Well tell her you have homework now and make sure you get it done. 2018 is your year.

Fib's line up perfectly with area's of possible support. I would watch the price of oil before I took a long term short outlook on this pair. But if it does I drew a ML for ya. Just showing how I look at things.

Hi Mr Hyde:

Yes, I need to do ALL these. Thanks for the reminder. Including this in my 2018 Resolution this year with my trading Vision/Goals:

+ Print out winners and losers.
+ Write down what I saw, didn't see until after, how I planned the trade, if I followed my plan or not.
+ Maintain a trade journal (Update it every day while trading and review on the weekend.)
+ Review progress with accountability partner. (daily / weekly)


Thanks for the markup as well; good stuff, makes me trust those angled lines a bit more.

All the best,
West
