Does anyone know of a way to keep a trading journal? I know it's a very personal thing so I don't know if there is a specific tool, but I want to keep the track of all my trades, setups, how they worked out, outcome, potential R, etc. I guess it could be as simple as google sheets, but I also want ...

This week felt intense trading the deadhorse and trying to digest all the information. I always need to be careful not to get completely hyped up and over enthusiastic. On Monday I had my profit of 10% reaching the FTMO target in 1 day. The rest of the week felt as if it was difficult to make a pro...

Some Parlay (Don_xyz) fun on US30 from 8/4 (I call it risk gearing) Starts off with 2 losses -2% Next trade +3% Next trade risk 2% gain 6% Next trade risk 3% gain 9% 3R are great fun! :P The trick to getting 3R is finding Stop Loss big enough to get your size on and also not to big where price won'...

Today I just had to try and play with these thoughts. I dad some losses on my deadhorse today and I wasn't able to trade the US session so I knew I couldn't make my losses back today. I found 2 setups which fit my first understanding of the setup; one on gold and one on GU. Both pairs were trending...

Yesterday I also have a very interesting day with a big bang. The first trade that I want to talk about is the 6R give or take and it produced roughly 35% (with 1% per pip risk). It was a trade taken with a mini ascending triangle pattern in mind for the completion. The other trade is the anchor tr...

And it kept going. The length of the up swings were very similar too. GU_08042022_4.png It is a simple Symmetrical Triangle pattern. If you want a safer play then go with the breakout but if you're up to take some risk then you go with the opposite trend line that form the pattern. If you want to s...

Well today was tough for me. By the time I started trading there was a huge drop (news related I think), and 1 short that I might've taken. The shorts would've worked well. But then it got into a smaller range, broke out, crossed the SMA, but I waited for the setup until the SMA actually turned, wh...

Learning to walk but when you fall down you stand up running lol :lol: GJ on that 7R :shock: Story of my life, ha, ha. I had to add the X7 line on my fib tool... :P In that case you should add 7 times more. The thing with monstrous R is, you must force "you" to see "you" getting...

Wrong. I mentioned this very often that I am a scalper but unlike other scalpers, I switch tfs quite often to check what's going on in the grand scheme of things and when the time is right, I switch mode from scalping to anchor trade and let the trade run. I also mentioned this a couple of times al...
