Manual TP for 7 pips. Felt that if PA has not yet moved away from the psycho number, then it was probably going to go Long and hit it again

26 pips @3rdDouble (6.24%)
This is the trade that brought me up to my week high of 6.8%
There was a bit of confusion, and I should've had an additional 1.8% on this trade...I forgot to adjust the SL on my Entry & 1stDouble trades, so they got accidentally, prematurely closed out (at least I netted 3 pips @EntrySize on those ). When I discovered what happened, I added back in those orders (6lev; 0.06% per pip).


Set a Stop Limit Order (another one of those precise entries, as it turns out)

Manual Entry, 3rdDouble (I know, I'm Adding-in above my 2ndDouble AVG line, , but I had a tight stop...i was expecting some kind of trickery around the psychological number.)

IMG_20170122_105656.jpg (191.14 KiB) Viewed 2704 times

My Entry & 1stDouble got closed out at 0.72054 by accident, and this is where PA was when I discovered it.

IMG_20170122_110437.jpg (196.41 KiB) Viewed 2704 times

Added back in those orders, and this is how my trade stood @3rdDouble

IMG_20170122_110747.jpg (203.22 KiB) Viewed 2704 times

Closed out all here. I was waiting for something to happen 2P EST, when nothing happened, I closed out.

Afterwards, without barely any PB Long, starting from 3P, PA dropped again, greatly.

18 pips
22 pips

These were my last two trades of the week, I was at my week's lowest balance, and I was supposed to stop trading, to avoid any further losses, but the opportunity really stood out to me, so I went for it.

Set an add-in order for 1stDouble

IMG_20170122_114155.jpg (215.66 KiB) Viewed 2703 times

Thought that it was likely for PA to PB Long before continuing Short, so I closed the trade (+18 pips), and set a Stop Limit Order for when PA PB Long again

IMG_20170122_114435.jpg (222.38 KiB) Viewed 2703 times

PA did not PB Long again . My Entry Order triggered however, and I manually TP @+22 pips

WICK Zone

Got it
All CAPS going forward

Too funny... that's not what I meant...LOL!
I was just noticing you were using the WICK ZONE, that's all.

[TygerKrane]

Screwed myself up right from the very beginning of the week.
Thought I could handle starting my trades off at higher leverage, but no, not yet, not confident enough to perform correctly & do the right things in reaction to PA.

Maybe sometime in the future I can just trade 1stDouble/2ndDouble/3rdDouble, and skip the EntrySize part, but not right now.

I'll do my best not to lose more than 5% for this week.


¤¤ - At the higher leverage entry, I couldn't make myself grab the smaller pips to build a pipcushion
b/c I was more worried about missing the move (i.e. Exiting, and PA moving in my direction without giving me another decent entry scenario.)

¤¤ - I couldn't exit losing trades as soon as they showed me that I probably should
b/c I was more worried about missing the move (i.e. Exiting, and PA moving in my direction without giving me another decent entry scenario.)


And having the greater and greater negative balance made it harder to do the right things when the opportunities presented themselves.

And not doing the right things when the opportunities presented themselves, really put me in a really bad, miserable mood for the day, which is ALSO the kind of situation I do not like to put myself in.



This is something that just would take more practice, in order to become my new comfort zone, that's all.

But I do not think I want to start on it just yet. Maybe in a month or two. So I will keep to my 3:1lev entries for now...I'll try again 6:1 later (actually, 5:1lev might be a better choice.)

Week 6
Week Ending 1/27/17
-5.95%
Entries: 10

IMG_20170125_025308.jpg (55.53 KiB) Viewed 2592 times

Week high: 0%
Week low: -5.95%

As pitiful as this week turned out to be, this UPCOMING week is the one I need to be worried about.

Also, I will still keep my 3:1 entry leverage calculated based on the $2000 waypoint. If I start a week below $1900, THEN I will recalculate it.

How my first day of the week turned out

Pretty lackluster, but I can't let that pressure me into making irrational decisions, just for the sake of finding more action.

Had a TP set for 10 pips, woke up and saw PA hovering around without hitting it, so I manually closed. *Almost* had 9.5 pips, but PA jumped at the last second (nevermind me, I'm making jokes at myself)

Pretty good exit plan followed, after attempting to enter Short late, after PA had already left consolidation.
( I also opened up a UCad trade while I was in the middle of this, therefore, trading the USD in two different directions at the same time. )
