Well, P/L through various set ups taken on:
21/01/10
+42 pips

22/01/10

+55 pips

 

[blancspa]

overall for this week +246 pips, which is above my weekly trget of 100

various issues to work on:
1. difficulty of managing multiple positions
2. problem of undercapitalization
3. lack of stamina by the end of the week
4. managing the trade
5. risk/reward ratio
6. switching to lower TF and scalping (better than previously)

conclusions:
1. think about the possible scenarios before entering;
2. working on more long term set ups

too many mistakes with trade management, the markets were trending pretty well this week... next week I can as well sit on my hands... hope not
