no rules trading

I'll be using this journal to post the trades from my live account. The system consists of electrons flowing between the left and right side of my brain.

Sounds painful, do you think the strategy could be automated with a wirelss connection between the brain and the pc?

Re: no rules trading

I really do not want to sound rude (!), but - considering this thread - you better get some more years onto your birthdays account than just 19.

Right. Look I've got just as much trading experience as you do (5 years to your 6). I'm not going to argue with you about it but maybe you should sit the next couple of plays out.

ok...at least you are giving predictable answers.

You know that I was responding on the idea of trading without a system? As you are quite obviously doing this I wish you good luck. I wonder what you did in the last 5 yrs that you came to the conclusion you can make money without using fundamental/technical analysis. But who knows, I´m sure you got a "beautiful mind" :-)

Re: no rules trading

The eurjpy trade was set off and I'm expecting the usdcad short to come into effect soon.

I made some trades during the breakout in the Asian session and didn't have time to post them before they were entered since they were not planned.

Re: no rules trading

The market still hasn't made it to my usdcad buy stop so I'm cancelling that one. I'm holding tight on all my other positions since I think the rest of the day should be interesting. I'm considering taking out another long eurusd at 2265.

Re: no rules trading

I just decided to go long nzdusd @ 6838 1:6 with stop at 6822 & 6810

I also put a buy stop in @ 7545 audusd 1:6

I am heavily dollar short at the moment and my positions in the yen crosses is the only thing that I have "going the other way".

Re: no rules trading

Yeah today was quite a long day since I traded right through the night (and apperently so did you). I don't often do it but this time it paid off.

I live in Durban so I get to split my time between trading, surfing and studying, in that order.

Re: no rules trading

I got rid of a 1/4 of my eurjpy position since it is underperforming my other positions.

I've also tightened up my stops to 2200/2195 on the eurusd trade and 7740/7725 on the gbpusd position.
