OK, i am in a trade...USD/JPY At 92.190...SL at 92.420..Posible profit target at 88.300 or 86.300.

Let the market now do what it has to do.

The order is a 40K , if i lost, it will be about $100 which is about 2 or 3 % or the account and if it is a winer, it will be at the first target about $1200 and the secound target ,$2,000.

For this trade to get to the profit target, it is going to take about two , to three weeks or even more, so patience is going to be a big factor.

Lets see what the market will do.

Ok, the SL on USD/JPY got hit.

I lost $ 104 and the account balance is now $ 4,190.

I have two more pairs showing good sings of a posible trade...which are EUR/AUD and AUD/JPY.

I will be waiting to see if i get the singnal to enter on any of those pair.

OK, the SL on AUD/JPY got hit and i am out with not trades at the moment.

I lost $89, leaving the account with $4,101.

[color=#000000]The issue with this three trades is that the three pairs are in some way correlated and so they all went the same way.... one after the other.

I will wait for the next trade.

Lets allow the market to do its work.

Not to bad for three losing trades.

Although you've given a brief outline of your intended trading aims, I think you'll maybe attract a little more interest if you explain in more detail exactly how you're identifying your supply & demand levels & how they impact on your desired intentions.

Maybe a chart or two highlighting the potential trades would illuminate the intention more clearly?
I doubt it's the fact your trading is centered around swing trading that might put folks off following & commenting on your journal, but rather the fact they will only participate in something they can identify with, & you might just need to expand a bit more on exactly how you're setting your trades up & for what reason.

Just a suggestion.

Hi Jimmy,

Thank you for your suggestion, that was a nice coment.


I have been using this method for only few moths and so even though i know there are some other traders that have been tranding it with graet success, i would like to have a successful year or more before i can load all the details about it, which are not many, it is a very simple aproach to the Forex Market.

Regards.
