  1. I haven't updated my score from last year, so here it is for all live trades posted here.

    November
    Total pips : 25+529+18+13=585
    Total trades: 4
    Wining trades: 4
    Losing trades: 0

    December:
    Total pips : +667-80-217 = 370
    Total trades: 3
    Wining trades: 1
    Losing trades: 2

    January: No new trades taken, no open trades closed (Holiday)

    February looks good so far, I'll try to be careful and not screw up anything until the end of the month, for now it looks like this:

    Total pips : 21+31+208+60+27+89+6+39 = 481
    Total trades: 8
    Wining trades: 8
    Losing trades: 0

  4. Sure, its very simple really. You have probably noticed I gradually build position (usually 2 entries). Now... my first entry is almost always too early and market goes against me, so what you should do is make note of my first entry and wait for the second one which is usualy much better.
    In other words my second entry should be your first, and even than use only 50% of intended capital for the trade to be ready for second entry.

    Look at eur/jpy, I just shorted 158.92 and this is unlikely the top, my second short lot should come at least 50 pips higher, say 159.40 and that should be your first short.

    Simple isn't it

  5. But I don't trade much so you will probably be bored.
    Sometimes I don't even check my positions for days... helps to reduce stress level

  10. Added one more lot here at 1.1718, avg long now 1.1738.
    Looks like the market doesn't like cad any more, this is going to test 1.18 soon, and perhaps higher later.
