Lucas Johnson's Trading Journal

[sublimeonskunk]

This journal's purpose is to make a public record of my trades and demonstrate my trading ability. My career goal is to gain employment as an institutional foreign exchange trader. I have broad based life experience, formal education, and the fortitude to be successful in the trade. I welcome anyones comments, critiques, advice, complaints, barbs, etc. anything you want to add please do so. Here's to achieving.

First trade is on the Eur/Aud Long at 1.6459 T/P is at 1.6812 (may be ajusted by a few pips on approach), S/L is at 1.6397. I will be watching this one closely as this is against the move of last week.

 

[sublimeonskunk]

The Eur/Aud long went fifty pips in my favor and then came down to retest, I set my stops to break even and got out. I then reversed on the break of the previous 2 candles and the trendline. So no harm no foul. Eur/Aud short at 1.6449 S/L 1.6530. T/P is at 1.6230.

Well, after a whole lot of pain and struggle (caused by me and my own stupidity). Im back to where I started in 2007 (my god where has the time gone). This will serve as a journal and log for my reference and posterity. Lets see what I can do. Thanks.

 

[sublimeonskunk]

Well, here is my first trade. I entered on the vertical line. -20 pips.

 

[sublimeonskunk]

Lost 12 pips on this trade, really stupid, really stupid. Missed a golden opportunity. Yuck.

 

[sublimeonskunk]

Tough first week. -32 pips, but even more hard to swallow was that I was really close to both positions moving 100+ pips in my direction. So there is a small victory in that but that is the problem with this game, the difference between success and failure is razor thin.

 

[sublimeonskunk]

Lost -36 pips on this one. Price closed over my line, key here is it had touched the ZL in the direction it was traveling. When that happens, GET OUT OF THE WAY.
