Default Week 3

Week three wasn't too great. Had no real good signals and nothing really came out of week three except a loss of around 5%. I started real strong and then kept trying to force the trades instead of going for the ideal ideal set ups. Shame on me!

The two trades I did are as follows,

On USD/CAD I shorted and it would of worked out if I had some better timing or maybe a wider stop.

I went long on Cable and this was just horrible timing. If I got in exactly when I should of I may of got away with some pips or at the very least got +3 but instead I got -40.

So two trades I got stopped out due to my bad timing and possibly due to my stops not being wide enough for the time frame I am using. Thinking about cutting my lot size down at least by half.
