Livermore quote:
“The only way you get a real education in the market is to invest cash, track your trade, and study your mistakes…. The examination of a losing trade is tortuous but necessary to ensure that it will not happen again.”
I came back to Forex after 4 years pause. Before I tried EAs and indicators with bad results on demo. Now I will trade with real money and mainly use price action and some very simple system.
This will be a journal trading with 3 ducks system by Andy http://forums.babypips.com/free-forex-trading-systems/6580-3-ducks-trading-system.html You can ask him for a free e-book.
This journal is brutally real. I put all my trades, so later I can learn and remind myself my mistakes and weaknesses. No need to sugar coat anything.
I added envelopes to gauge how extended the prices are from MA.
I trade live with LMAX UK.
Risk: 1% of the capital for every trade.
Risk:Reward is 1:2 when price is near MA or 1:1.5 when price is further from the MA.
If my accuracy will be higher than 33-40% I will be earning money.
I recognize existence of such laws:
- Price will extend to certain values from MA. The more extended it is the more probable it will snap back soon and fast.
- There are support and resistance zones, where bears and bulls have parked orders.
- Price in trend has inertia and it will continue its course till large opposite force will stop it.
Wish me perseverance in regular updates
Constructive comments are welcome.
