Multiple Questions

I’ve spent the past 2 months going through the school of pipsology and have a bunch of questions. I figured I’d put some here in bulk instead of posting multiple post to keep the forum clean, but feel free to close the thread and tell me I’m violating some policy if this isn’t the preferred method. I’d be surprised if anyone replies to all of my questions, but hopefully those who feel like responding have at least one question they’d like to help out with. As you can see, I’m still fairly ignorant, so don’t hold back :slight_smile:.

  1. What format/software do people use for their trading journals?
  2. How do scalpers or day traders have time to journal while they’re trading?
  3. What’s the best way to get feedback from people?
  4. If you start with USD, how do you buy/sell other pairs that don’t involve selling USD?
  5. If you scale out of a short position by later buying the same position, do you ever have to close the buying position or do they simply cancel? It seems like you’d still have 2 positions open instead of just a portion of your original position.
  6. Is slippage a big deal for swing traders…should I do anything special to avoid it?
  7. How often do you not get the position size you want due to a lack of demand?
  8. How to know when three white soldiers/three black crows trend will continue?
  9. What time frames should I be looking at as a swing trader?
  10. How can I get in at good points as a swing trader if I’m only at my computer for ~1hr/night?
  11. What’s the logic behind the personality quizzes…how do I know if I was on the border between two things?
