First trade was a marginal short at best. Second trade was good. Third trade would have been good but I failed to hold to the round number target.

My conscious intention has been to trade every day but I've been having trouble following through with my actions. Today I was so tired I turned off my alarm without ever remembering that I woke up and turned it off. For me the solution to this is actually really simple. Stop eating within 5 hours of going to sleep. Going to sleep on an empty stomach always allows me to sleep better and wake up refreshed. Anyway only one more day this week to prove and I can do it! I will trade tomorrow.

I need to contact Oanda. I must not have the correct version of Java installed even though I have the most recent version of Java installed. My platform appears to be working and lets me enter a trade but doesn't let me know that I can't exit my trade until I attempt to close the trade. Frustrating. Lucky for me I have my Oanda mobile app running to cancel trades in instances like this.
Oanda's platform used to give me no problems and now with the most recent version of Java installed it stops working for me multiple times per session without fail. Annoying.

The last trade was marginal but I thought the first two were reasonable.

I had every intention of trading everyday this week but sometimes life gets in the way. Oh well. So this is finally the end of the week. I will trade everyday next week.

After two losing days in a row where I demonstrated really impulsive trading and overall poor decision making I needed couple days off to regain my mental stability. I still have a glaring weakness of not holding onto my trades long enough. But I can slowly feel my comfort level increasing as I'm trading at $30 per pip. As my comfort level with this trade size increases I'll be better able to hold onto my trades the little bit longer that's needed to much improve my overall profitability.

I'm going to write off today and move on. I made poor impatient decision after poor impatient decision. I know what the underlying psychological problem is because I've been in this situation many times before. This type of trading isn't going to happen again next week.
Have a great weekend ya'll.

Too many trades I think. I really liked my last trade but I didn't take profit when I had the chance.

I missed a good entry towards the end of the day because I hesitant due to wanting to make sure my day ended positive. This is my first day trading $30 per pip in years but the difference in how I trade between now and back then is vast; I've learned allot.

I love Oanda. The platform crashed on my computer but I was able to quickly log into the Oanda's mobile app on my phone and close the trade. I never knew until today that I could simultaneously be logged into my trading account on both my phone and my computer. Its definitely an awesome feature in terms of back up connectivity for when my computer or the platform freezes.

I should have walked away because I made impatient trades after not finding good entries.

With my schedule this week I've found it difficult to trade. I will likely find it difficult to trade tomorrow or Friday as well. However, if I can do so I will. Normal trading will resume next week.

I didn't trade for very long today but I can see I didn't miss much for the first hour or so anyway.

I traded only for a short period of time today. I canceled my order right before it went in my favor. Oh well.
