My username is sydneysteve, namely because I live in Sydney and people call me Steve… Right, anyways!
I’m Carpenter by trade which I love, so no dreams to quit my job, also have an investment property and would like to use forex to gather funds to buy more property 
I’m a Pip-squeak with no experience - here is my journal.

Bought almost every trade to see how they perform with no stop loss! -$1550 (Oops!)
[B]Wed:[/B]
Learnt stop loos, kinda looked at charts to see a pattern, read news. +$125
[B]Thurs:[/B]

Profit for the week $1,252.39
[B]Week 2 +15.03%, 66% Win from 44 trades[/B]
[B]Mon: +0.54%[/B]
Started money management only risking 2% of bank roll and trying to stick to 3:1 risk ratio. Learning about candlestick trends, SMA’s, EMA’s ,fibonacci tool and money management.
[B]Tue: +2.4%[/B]
Gained 150 pips, didn’t make much money because I was using 2% of available funds but combined with stop losses was only risking a very small amount. Changed to spending half of account with stop losses at $10 and take profit at $30 (is this right?). Still gambling trades with not enough research put in.
[B]Wed: +3.92%[/B]
Fib graphs working surprisingly well, started to use SMA 10 & SMA 20, also working well. Trying to stick to 3:1 risk ratio, but haven’t been on all trades, only when I’m already up for the day then I stick to it 
[B]Thurs: +9.2%[/B]
Set up first swing trade - short EUR/GBP @ 0.8408, [email protected], [email protected], TS@30pips. Have stopped reading about different indicators, going to concentrate on fundamentals fib, support and resistance lines , SMA’s, candle formations and money management.
[B]Fri: +15.03%[/B]
Trading well, but spending too much time in front of computer, I need to allocate one hour in the morning and one hour at the night if I’m going to take this serious. Loving GBP/JPY and Fib Retracement. Time to log off and enjoy the weekend! Glad we can’t trade on weekends! (I know technically we can, but yeah) Peace out

Nice going sydneysteve!
I see you’re gaining a lot there…
Is it possible to ask for screenshots of your trades? Im still learning, and would very much appreciate if you can do that. im still learning strategies i can use in my trading.
This is not a demand in any way, if its not too inconvenient for you, then i will really be very thankful for that.
Thank you!
Im subscribed, by the way, in your journal.
Thanks Garuhhh, No problem I would love to include some screenshots, as I get through the psychological side of trading I will gradually include my technical analysis.
Currently I do not really have an exact strategy (kinda of a scalper right now) but am working out what works and doesn’t. We can work and build a strategy together
