A minute or so after I put on my first trade I got a very strong sense that I was on the wrong side of the market. I knew if my first trade was a loss I would begin looking for short entries for the remainder of the morning. Luckily my first trade was able to get back to black. I then reversed course and caught the move down.

Total Crap

+26 Pips
Today's positive results will not be counted in my monthly total. I wouldn't have traded this way if I was trading $10 or $5 per pip so it's pointless to trade this way at 1 cent per pip while I'm training myself.
First trade - didn't hold onto it as I must.
Second & Third trades - Moved my initial stop loss back on both of them to where the red line is at on the 5 minute chart. Going in the red double my eventual profit is a guaranteed disaster <-- I know this. I'm putting this day behind me and will be back to good trading on Monday.

I didn't trade for very long today. My target on this trade was 1.4560 so I'm disappointed/annoyed that I allowed my fear impulse to cut my profits short on this trade.

Other priorities took precedence over trading this morning. Will be back at it tomorrow.

I noticed on Forex Intra-day Trading's blog and on 4XTDR's blog they've been using Bollinger Bands. I've been looking for something to keep me out of lame trades. Dunno, we'll see how I do with The Bands over time.
Random Shout outs go to Move The Markets - & - FX Madness. They consistently put up great content and have done so for a long period of time. If for some strange reason you've found my blog before running across either of these blog's then check them out fo-sho. Word.

Feeling lucky. Don't like it. I'd rather feel like I've got a hold on a method. I like short-term trading.

Started off really bad. At one point I was down 76 pips on the day. That's the most I've been down in a given session since I began this blog. However, I was able to rebound 59 pips to end the day only down a total of 17 pips.

Started sloppy but was able to regroup and end the day strong. I tightened my entries & stops. Also I was able to efficiently trail my stop to catch some good moves.
I was only able to save half of my charts because of technical issues part way through my trading day and I restarted my computer.

My brother is getting married this weekend and I've got things I've gotta do. So my next trading day will be Wednesday the 28th.
I can already spot an error I'm making (again) by cutting my profits too quickly. Looking forward to trading on Wednesday and correcting this mistake!
