This journal is intended to document my EUR/USD trading.My style is very short term,
I hold trades from a few minutes to a few hours using 1 min and 5 min charts.
My setups are strictly defined and described in my business plan. Money management rules limit
the amount of risk to 0.85-1.5% of the account value.
I actively trade around the London opening, normally don't take more than two trades per day, some days I don't trade at all.
So far my biggest struggle was following the plan to the letter.
Temporary lapses of self-discipline and mistakes cost me a big chunk of profits. My main goal is to become more consistent, eliminate mistakes and show a full commitment. Hopefully a public journal will
help me to achieve this goals and share my journey with the ET community.
I will try to post all the trades as close to real time as possible.

Your constructive criticism is welcome but if your only message is that TA doesn't work please stay away from this thread.
