Here is my trade 12 a buy on AUDCAD.

There seems to be a resistance on the yellow dashed line. Prices seems to be bouncing off of it.

Stop loss is red line (181 pips), take profit is green line (377 pips), reward to risk ratio is 2:1, with a risk of 1%.



EDIT:

This trade is still on, and the support seems to be holding (please hold). Although I’m still negative (-95pips) as of the moment.

Here is my trade 13, a buy on GBPCHF.

There seems to be a general up trend, I think prices have retraced a bit and now ready to move upwards again.

Stop loss is red line (46 pips), Take profit is green line (65 pips), reward to risk ratio is 1.4:1, risk is 0.75% as the stop loss is less than 50 pips. I’m not really confident with the stop loss number of pips that’s why the risk is reduced.



EDIT:

This trade met a stop loss, giving me a fund of -0.75%. Prices kept moving downwards, as there was a downward spike going past the support.

I forgot to update this trade. This trade met a stop loss, giving me a fund of -1%.

I keep on forgetting to update some trades. I guess I’ll just need to make a summary of my trades in the coming days to update how am I doing. I’m planning on making a monthly summary (month of April and May).

Here is a trade I made a couple of days ago.

There seems to be a general uptrend. Looking at the weekly, there seems to be a resistance at the yellow line. I was thinking before prices meets that resistance, it will continue to go up.

take profit is green line (64 pips), stop loss is red line (46 pips), reward to risk ratio of 1.4:1, risk is 0.75% as the stop loss is not greater than 50 pips.


True enough, prices moved towards my goal.

But I got worried that prices starts to move against me, so I closed manually 5 pips away from my take profit, gaining me 60 pips, and it gave me 0.98% of funds.

This was my trade 15, a buy on USDCHF.

There seems to be a general up trend as specified by the blue line. Although there was a point when that support (blue line) was broken. But I thought even if it was broken, prices will still retrace upwards before proceeding downwards. And prices really did that.

Stop loss is red line (61 pips), take profit is green line (75 pips), reward to risk ratio is 1.23:1, risk is 1%.


Charts moved with me! This trade hit its take profit, giving me a fund of 1.2%!

Here is my trade 16 for the month of May, a buy on EURNZD.

There seems to be a general uptrend. There seems to be a resistance at the dashed blue line basing it from the recent weekly high. I was thinking prices will continue to move towards that resistance.

Stop loss is red line (109 pips), take profit is green line (176 pips), reward to risk ratio is 1.6:1, risk is 1%.



EDIT:

whoohoo! this trade hit its take profit! I was right with my guess that prices will move towards that resistance before deciding to move down. This trade gave me 1.5% of funds.

Here is a summary of my performance for the past months.


My biggest loss was February at -8.56%. At this time I had no “real” trading plan. I have strictly implemented my trading plan late March up until now.

Late April, I started making trades based on trends, and I guess it’s working for me. I’m now risking 1% of my total funds.

My gain so far for the month of May is 3.67%, as of May 29, 2013. I’m hoping this upward trend of my funds will continue on.

This was my last trade for the month of May.

There was a downward trend, and I thought the trend will continue downwards, considering it already went past the channel. I was hoping I could get something from the trend.

Stochastics was saying overbought, and MACD was showing signs of downward movement. But prices moved against me. At first it moved towards my take profit, but then, everything went fast, opposite to where I want it to be.



Take profit was green line, stop loss was red line, entry was below the previous weekly low (at the yellow dashed line).

It met a stop loss at the red line (indicated by the small circle). This trade gave me -0.94%, subtracting from the monthly gain, in the end I got +4.29% of gains for the month of May.

Here is my first trade for the Month of June, a sell on AUDCHF.

reward to risk ratio is initially 1.04:1. After gaining around 50 pips, I moved the stop loss at entry, then moved the take profit further from the previous low.

stop loss is red line (82 pips), take profit is green line (85 pips).



EDIT:
After gaining around 50+pips, I moved the take profit and stop loss as seen in the following image (stop loss is red line, take profit is green line):



EDIT:

This trade hit its take profit! Well, it’s more of its second take profit at 130 pips.


This trade gave me 1.55% of funds!

Here is my second trade for the month of June, a buy on EURAUD.

There seems to be a general up trend, and I’m hoping prices will move towards my take profit.

Stop loss is red line (110pips), take profit is green line (144 pips), reward to risk ratio 1.3:1, risk is 1%.



EDIT:

This trade hit its take profit at 143 pips!


This trade gave me 1.24% of funds.

This trade met a stop loss today. Prices went past the support that has been holding on for at least 4 times.

This trade gave me a -0.94% of funds.

Here is my trade 3 for May, a sell on NZDCAD.

There seems to be a general downtrend on this pair.

stop loss is red line (57 pips), take profit is green line (71 pips), reward to risk ratio of 1.69:1, with a risk of 1%.



EDIT:

This trade hit its take profit at 71 pips! (at the green circle on the right)

Here was my trade 4, a buy on AUDNZD.

I entered this trade yesterday, thinking that prices are starting to move upwards coming from a seeming support at 1.1850.

stop loss is red, take profit is green line, reward to risk ratio of 1.69:1.



But seeing the movement this morning, I manually closed the trade at -35 pips (see the screenshot below):


So this trade gave me a fund of -0.49%.
