Happened Pair was sold on the support break of a new trading day. Pair went sideways then made a big move lower. The pair got 60% of the way to the TP but then reversed. Pair his the ADJ SL at BE
Improvements Good strong trend and a good place to enter. It is a shame this pair did not keep running but it was good I was able to derisk as the market had changed. Selling half the position at half would have worked well in this scenario.

Happened Sold this pair on the break of the support created during the EURO and US overlap. The pair hit the entry and made a huge move lower during the GBP news event and the US INT rate talks. The following EURO session the pair hit the TP
Improvements Strong downtrend on the H4 and the H1 which is good. I sold after a pullback which was also good. The TP was set at a good level and it was not greedy. Also the SL was placed at a good level and was not greedy either. Good job on this trade. The news events were on my side which was lucky.

Happened Bought this pair at the level that was the break of resistance from Nov 19th. Pair did move a bit higher but then crashed down into the SL on USD weakness and market uncertainty.
Improvements Well the one thing I notice is the weaker h4 duck. It is certainty pointing higher but it is not as strong as slope as it could be. I figured that the AUD would increased over the USD since there was the strong bullish move the previous day due to the INT rates being slowed and the stock market rally. I guess the G20 risk caused this paid to not make new highs though.

Results from 2018-11-30. 3 trades today. Trade 86 CHF/JPY was a gain that turned into a loss. Trade 95 EUR/CAD was another gain that turned into a loss. Trade 101 AUD/USD was a loss. I have 6 open trades which are totalling a nice floating profit.

Happened Pair was bought on the resistance from the previous week. Pair hit the entry went sideways then made a move higher. Came close to the TP, I moved the TP higher and then the pair came crashing down. Went sideways again on the I adjusted the SL because the H1 duck lost its slope. Pair hit the ADJ Sl before moving to the full SL
Improvements Good entry I think, in line with trends. Where I really went wrong on this was not locking in profits someway. This was a bit gain that turned into a loss. Good I adjusted the SL and saved pips but this really should not have ended worst than a BE.

Improvements Good entry in line with the trends. The entry was at a level of resistance however which I was unaware of when placing the trade. Shame that the EURO tanked so hard, up suppose I could have derisked in in the ASIAN session but its still a tough call. I don’t think the TP was too greedy and was manageable, although a few pips lower and this trade would have been a win

Happened Pair was bought and very quickly price fell and hit the SL.
Improvements Trend was higher on this trade on both the H1 and the H4 ducks. Maybe this was not a good trade to take being that it was the Fridays US session and therefore volatility might not be the best. The AUD was weak during this session despite the strong risk taking in the market could have been on profit taking. Either way my trade was stopped and the pair did not really move past the entry point for the rest of the session

This is week 5 review. Another week of losses. Much better than week 4 though. I had some good floating gains at some points but they evaporated before they were closed or hit the TP/ADJ SL. I got hit on the GBP random news event of the guy speaking about brexit this week. The USD news also hurt me a bit. One of the things i noticed is i had alot of trades this week that had good profit that evaporated into a loss. Its always a tough call, let it run for more profit or close it for a gain. Maybe i should implement two take profits, one that is a 1:1 for half position, and if hit move the SL to BE on the remainder and let run. Need more research. I have 6 trades open that have a good floating profit right now. So i am not too far away from BE with the 6 trades.

For this week, trying to get back to BE although I’m not very far off. I have over 100 trades now. Probably need another 100 or 200 before I have statistically relevant data. Currently have 6 open trades which are in direction of the trend. NFP this week at the end so ill need to lookout for that. Also heavy CAD news for wed, thurs and Friday.

Sheesh I think you take a lot of trades in a week. I think you can maximize the same gains with half amount of trades. What’s your system like? How much do usually leverage per trade?

This is a trend following system. I am using the 3 duck method which has a huge multiyear thread on babypips but I am using it over a longer time frame since I cannot be at my computer to close the pair if price moves onto other side of M5 “duck” I am trading 28 pairs. The system is I am to buy/sell when the price is above/below the “duck” on the M5, H1 and the H4. The goal is to find a strong slope of the H4 duck and line it up with the H1 duck. When both are sloping nicely in the same direction and price is on the same side of the “duck” on both I go to the M5 and look for entry points. Entries are a break of support/ resistance on the M5. The SL is placed usually above/below some swing support/resistance. The TP is usually set at support/resistance but needs to be at least 1:1 risk to return ratio if not greater. I only want to take maximum 3 positions on a currency pair unless I have reduced risk on them. I only ever risk 1% equity on each trade.

Check some of the trades out, the pictures and the trade details might make what is above more clear.

Ok sounds good I’ll take a look at some of the pics, just wanted to know a little more about the system.

Results from 2018-12-03. At market open for the week the gap caused a few trades to get closed. Trade 88 AUD/CAD picked up a good gain. Trade 93 GBP/NZD picked up a huge gain. Trade 98 NZD/USD was a good gain. Trade 100 CAD/JPY was a pretty big loss. These trades were what they are because of the gap that occurred. Mostly it was favourable. Today trade 102 GBP/NZD was stopped at a loss, just barley was stopped. Trade 107 GBP/NZD was stopped at a loss.

Happened Pair was bought on a break of the Asian consolidation. Pair ran higher and I ended up closing half of the position for a gain and bringing the SL to BE on the remainder. Pair then spiked much higher on bad CAD news and the week ended positive. New week saw a huge gap and the 2nd TP get hit at a higher price.
Improvements Good entry, good slope on H1 and the H4 ducks. The pair was bullish and ran higher. I was aided and lucky by the CAD news and the weekend gap up but I think closing half the position and derisking the rest was a good strategy to lock in gains.

Happened Sold this pair on the break of the EURO and US overlap. Pair ran lower and then broke the 1.86615 support level. I reduced risk on half the position and moved the SL to BE on the other half, pair hit the ADJ SL and then ran lower. New week opened up and saw a huge gap lower, second TP was hit
Improvements Sold this in a good downtrend as seen by H1 and the H4 ducks. Both were very bearish. The US INT rate news did help this position so that was lucky Taking TP half way was a good way to take some gains. I had moved the SL to BE also when I did this so I then had a risk free trade. The gap was lucky also.

Happened Price was sold when the support broke on the EURO US overlap. Pair then reversed and barley hit the SL before falling back to the entry.
Improvements I guess I was selling after a big move lower had already occurred. This might have been the problem with this trade. Perhaps I need to wait for a stronger pullback to enter.

Level taken explanation Selling at a break of the lows created from they EURO and US session overlap. Pair is very bearish and gapped lower over the weekend. The gap has failed to completely fill and the pair is trying to make new lows. A bearish signal. Downtrend has resumed on the H4 and H1 has a strong slope lower. I think that the pair will break lower and move in direction of the trend.

You are right though. I definitely need to reduce my trade number. It would make the journaling much easier. I’m just so tempted to take a trade on every trending pair :frowning:

Any suggestions on how i might do this?

Well I forced myself to only take a certain amount of trades per day. No matter how good it looks to me, how many pips come in, I only take a certain amount in a day. I usually take 2-3 trades a day, I can literally count the days in my trading career where I’ve taken 4 trades. Don’t get me wrong I passed up on a lot of profits/losses but that discipline of trading just a certain amount keeps me ever so grounded. I tend to get in & out of trades at the best times & more importantly I make my money and get out. I’m not greedy I don’t go looking for more gains when I hit my required daily level whether it’s profits/losses I sit on the bench and reflect on my trades.

I haven’t posted in a few days. My account took some more losses and now account is underwater. The highs were 500 and has since been reduced to 400. A 20% reduction. GBP/CHF trade 96 was a gain, took a while though. Trade 97 NZD/CAD was a small gain. Trade 103 EUR/AUD ended as a loss. Trade 104 NZD/JPY was a loss. Trade 105 NZD/USD was a loss. Trade 106 EUR/NZD was a loss. Trade 109 NZD/CHF was a loss. Trade 110 EUR/AUD was a loss. Trade 112 GBP/NZD was a loss. Trade 113 NZD/CAD was a loss.

Happened Sold on a break of the Asian session lows. Pair ran lower and stalled. Came close to the SL at one point but could not break resistance. Then the pair moved lower again and the final push of the NFP was closed at market.
Improvements Good trend I sold into, I think the sell level was also good. The pair did go sideways but the H4 trend did not fully level out so buying this pair back at a earlier time was not a good idea. The H1 did level out a bit which was risky. I guess this is a good trade overall.

Happened Bought this pair on a break higher during the US EURO overlap. Pair did move higher but then fell lower. Stayed above the RTL before crashing below during the late Asian and early EURO session. Hit the SL during the NFP report.
Improvements Trend was higher and there was a good pullback. Pair did come close to the TP but didn’t make it. It would have been hard to close it before the move lower below the RTL occurred while I was sleeping. By the time the NFP occurred the trade was mostly done for.

Ouch sorry you’ll bounce back.

I use this as a rule of thumb : If I lose 2-3 trades in a day, I stop trading altogether for that day. Especially if it regards 1-2 pairs in those trades. Doesn’t mean anything is wrong with your analysis since you can’t be perfect all the time but the markets have a way of kicking you while your down(in my experience). A lot of traders try to re-coop their losses instantly and just end up losing more. I’d say put your mind in a calm setting for next week. Remember we take the losses as long as we can live to trade another day!

Best wishes & I’ll continue to follow up with your journey.

Me. Revenge trading has never worked for me. Well, I think it did once which then gave me the confidence to keep going into these losing battles.

Amen!

@NScrilla, will you do a year-end review of things you’ve learned?

Week 6 review. Last several weeks have been quite challenging. I need to ensure I do not over trade. My goal for the coming week is to keep my trades to maximum 3 per day. Over 5 days that makes a max of 15. Well see how it goes.

Yes this is good advice. My goal is to keep trades to 2-3 a day for this coming week. That means a max of 15 over this week. However a review of my past trades show that i have averaged at 16 a week. So i am not sure how much this will really help me.

I do plan on doing a review. However the start date of the system and this thread does not align with the calendar year so i don’t know how useful doing it based off the calendar really will be.

True. I suppose 2 months might be too short? But I think any retrospective is still good!

Results from 2018-12-11. Two trades were closed. Trade 114 AUD/JPY was a loss and Trade 118 GBP/USD was a gain. I have 3 trades open, NZD/JPY, AUD/NZD & GBP/JPY. Trying hard not to overtrade.

Happened Pair hit the entry and ran higher. Duck levelled out and then pair ran higher into the SL
Improvements Pair was in strong downtrend when It was sold. The pair had made a good retracement and was poised to head back to the support. The US session saw a rally in the pair though. The following Asian session was really my opportunity to close the trade or reduce risk due to the duck that began to slope higher. Shortly after the EURO session saw the SL hit. So really i think that the entry here was good. The only real mistake was not managing it better during the Asian session

Happened Pair was sold after the retracement higher in the Asian session. Pair moved sharply lower on the GBP leader May fundamental news and hit the TP.
Improvements The trend was good and there was a good retracement. This was a good place to sell into a strong trend. I think that the leader May news was probably lucky but this was in line with my system, a good trend and I was not greedy.

Happened Set this order to sell on the break of the Toyoko lows. Pair ran higher in EURO session and the was triggered after a fall in the late EURO and early US session. Pair moved lower but reversed and then spiked higher in the next days EURO session on brexit news. Hit the SL
Improvements Initial idea was good. Strong slope and good trend. It is just the move higher happened before the move lower so the pair was tired when the entry occurred. It would have been better to move the entry higher to take on the break of the EURO support. Sadly i was sleeping. No way i think i could have predicted the spike higher the following EURO session on brexit stuff

Happened Set this order to sell on the break of the Toyoko lows. Pair ran higher in EURO session and the was triggered after a fall in the late EURO and early US session. It was a stale entry on old support. Pair then ran higher and moved in the SL.
Improvements Original idea was good. However the entry was stale and the pair was tired by the next day when the move lower occurred. It would have been better to sell on a break of the EURO support after the move higher. However I was sleeping. I guess I could have bailed out of this trade when the duck levelled off but it didn’t really change to upslope until the SL was hit

Happened Was a bit late buying this pair but not much. Pair stalled after a move higher and then broke lower during the following Asian session. Pair was still actually bullish when I went to sleep but the EURO session saw the spike lower into the SL
Improvements I think the entry was fine, it was a tad bit late but I was sleeping so there isn’t much I can do. I suppose i could have sold it at a loss when the TOYOKO spike lower occurred but it was still bullish as seen by the H1 duck sloping upwards. I don’t know kind of a tricky one

Happened Pair rallied in the overlap and ran to the SL.
Improvements Well I guess my SL could have been above the RTL. Maybe it was a but risky to sell at the support level front the previous week. The trends were both lower though so that part was good.

Week 7 review. Another changing week for my system. Under 400$ now…… However I was successful at NOT overtrading this week. Only set 9 orders and 7 of them were taken. Lots of the week I was unable to spot any setups. This is good because it means I am forcing I less. Haven’t had a positive week in awhile. Going to have to see if i can get a weekly gain coming up here.
