A Noobs Journal - time to give this a shot

Missed a week, so this is from two weeks ago.

5 trades (might be my low of the last year!)
Won 2 out of 25,
40% win rate.
-2.06% for the last week Su-Sa.
-796 pips (not an error).
TP hits: 2
SL hits: 0
Manual Close winners: 0
Manual Close losers: 3
Avg Win: 21.90
Avg Loss: -280

So weird/bad week. I scaled out of 3 positions, big pip losses, but small from a absolute dollar amount (-$57). I think my open trades were all in the red, and I didn’t want to open any new trades. So, that’s why the number of trades was down more than normal. So just one of those down week. I was thinking to place trades anyway, just with really small size, but decided just to take my two winners and call it a week. Sometimes you just need a break.

So now last week

7 trades (still a bit low but had some non trading stuff keep away from the charts)
Won 7 out of 27,
100% win rate.
3.03% for the last week Su-Sa.
+188 pips.
TP hits: 7
SL hits: 0
Manual Close winners: 0
Manual Close losers: 0
Avg Win: 26.86
Avg Loss: 0

So not many trades but all winners! Can’t say that’s ever happened before, but I’ll take it! More time on the charts than the previous week. Also closed down some trades I had running for a while, like UJ.

I still need to work on cutting losers initially, and then even after the fact. I also need to track my down week versus up weeks. I think I’m missing something in how I’m trading against the weekly trend maybe.
