I won't be back until Friday due to travel. WORD.

5.23.11

Frankly I'm surprised that I'm up $17. I didn't look at my p&l at any point until I was finished trading for the day. My trade size changed between $1 or $3 per pip. I had to leave for work earlier than usual so my trading day ended early as well. See ya tomorrow. WORD.

or something like that

5.20.11

I made cents or a dollar or something like that... by the time I woke up and the trading screen going the major moves were complete and I was left with scraps. I reduced my trade size to 50 cents per pip. Gotta stop doin' the BS that leads me to having trouble waking up early. WORD.

Have a nice weekend ya'll.

5.19.11

I didn't feel particularly confident about any trade today so I continued to keep my trade size small.

+ $7.79

5.17.11

Another day of hardly any trading. Gotta start forcing myself to get up early again so that my body can adjust to the sleep cycle.

Off to the day job. Here is how the day went for me.

5.03.11

I'm fairly disappointed that I allowed myself to get shaken out of my last trade of the day too early. I made numerous other mistakes today but I don't have time to go through them because I'm off to my day job. WORD =)

4.28.11

I only took one trade because it happened to be there during the short time that I was able to trade today.

No Trades

I didn't trade my full time slot but while I was trading I didn't make any trades.

My triumphant (sarcasm) return to trading! But in all seriousness I'm back to the daily grind and enjoying it. WORD.

4.11.11

The only thing I'm good at right now it seems is reducing my trade size as I continue to lose money. I pretty much feel lost as a trader and will reduce my size again tomorrow. Obviously there are key concepts that I haven't learned. Perhaps I'm aware of all the key concepts but don't know how to put them together in a consistently profitable fashion. Regardless, I know there are people whom win at this game consistently and I'm determined to eventually be one of them.

4.5.11

A tough day for me to find entries and when I did I got stuck with price going no where and eventually my stop was hit.

+/- 0



3.22.11

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.

Update

3.17.11

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.
