I'm back!
For those that don't remember (or don't know me), I had a trading journal a while back detailing my attempts at trading. I had a string of losses, and kind of dropped out of the game for what I thought would be a few weeks, but turned out to be nearly a year.
I realized that the markets were too thin, and the profit potential was too small for me to concern myself with spending time trading; so I waited until the markets started moving again. They have, and I'm hopping back into it!
I'm hoping I learned my lesson from the previous thread - only time will tell, of course, but we'll see how she goes! I'm definitely going to be less stupid with my stops this time around though.
My general plan is as follows:
Post my overview of cable and fiber, highlighting the trades that I will be looking to take that night.
Post a result (positive or negative) as well as trying to analyze where I went wrong.
Looking to take 2 trades per day, 30 pips per trade.
Looking to trade up to $1,000,000 as rapidly as possible!
As well, I'm throwing around the idea of trying to put together a 90 second long video every day highlighting the trades I will be looking for - I was inspired while watching a few of ICT's videos today, and realizing that there is no reason for his market analysis videos to be more than 5, maybe 10 minutes long. I figure I could probably get a daily analysis on 2 pairs down to a minute and a half or less by trimming all the unnecessary information. I don't know how to edit videos, and I doubt I will want to spend my 30-60 free minutes a day figuring it out, so don't hold your breath for this.
Either way - hopefully this is a success story and you guys can enjoy the ride! If it isn't a success story, hopefully it's at least an educational failure that can be used as a textbook example for "what not do to."
