Hello babypippers,
I am Seet. I have been trading for about 1.5 years. Traded Stocks,Futures and Forex.
I finally settled on Forex. This is the start of a new journey. I will be posting videos of my trades.
My edge is trading inside candles.
I looked into trading inside bars myself. Definitely going to be popping in and seeing how you are coming along as this develops. Cheers and good luck
Hello Hipkapo,
That was a nice video you put out. I will be following your trading journal as much as possible. By the way, how do you video your trades? I would really like to do that as I think it’s a better way to journal than writing.
Hi Seet,
Interested to see how you get on and will be watching out for your next video. Perhaps you could take the time to write down your “rules”, ie your chosen Timeframes, markets, specifics about when you enter / exit / manage positions & stops etc., details about other tools you consider (I see you have tramlines drawn on). Details about profit targets and when to close a position.
Good luck

It is refreshing to see a thread with YouTube videos, my eyes thank you :22:
Best of luck with your trading Hikapo.
Best of luck, alwasy nice to see a Journal from an expierenced trader who has already been live.
I recorded video while my mum was baking a cake, and hence the ‘clunk’ noises in the background. If you can bear with it, go ahead, otherwise, next time I will make sure no background noises are present!!! Will also try to keep my videos under 5 minutes.

I use daily, 4 hour and 1 hour charts. Mainly trade on 1 hour charts.
Entry is the range of the inside bar+3 pips, Long or short.
Will be posting my rules when I am not lazy lol.

I use AVS video editor. Its great. Its $100 for lifetime use.

4 losing trades in a row, sandwiched by a bunch of big winning trades that I didn’t take.
Oh lord, welcome to trading!!:31:
Hey Hikapo. I’m also starting to trade inside bars as well. My backtests have shown that trading with the trend yields best results. I look forward to more of your vids!

The only question that a trader needs to ask is if he made the best decision possible with the information available at the time. If you repeatedly make good decisions, irrespective of the results of individual trades, then you have nothing to fear.
