Your approach is in my skill set. I am confined to grinding it out daily. I'm happy to double my money in a year with hundreds of trades.

Good luck. I'll watch with great interest.

Entered initial position usdcad at 9683. Discriminated against audusd - ignored it - and paying price.

Will rethink selection. Probably equal share.

If trade turns my way will look to enter full position. Would like to see it going above 98 and some more weakness in markets before.

You can do it by either:

1- Pure luck
2-pure science/art

Make sure you have one of them.

trade no I coming. Position trading so not too many posts.

Have 70 % of 3 to 1 win rate but with small bets - doesnt count. Real money, real trades. Need to break psychological size bareer.

took a bit of a profit. still 10 /11 initial position in. Plan to reinvest at some time on second buy signal. Next target 0.9850. If it gets there will start looking for reentry.

HC, i cant really trade intraday as i work. Hope you got some p on my call. I am a bit angry as did not enter sell order for adus. I like trading with mobile

mcgene, this journal is about me showing to myself I am not making things up and exposing my orders. Too easy to forget bad calls. Concept of science is a bit outdated in my view. Reached used by date.

moved stop to 9683 to my original buy point. Dont like strong run in AUDUSD towards close but i am not out yet. Want to see pass 0.98 before considering loading more.

Glad I clarified for you. Science is all about predictability. From initial conditions X that you can measure you will get Y % of time this and that. Unfortunately trading does not work like that as hedge funds with all these phd's realised during GFC run. Once you in the market you are target. You can quote heisenberg principle of quantum mechanics but this is just putting lipstick on a pigs face
