Last week Friday was Friday the 13th and some people consider that an unlucky day. Does that mean I shouldn’t trade? Of course not. The only unlucky thing about Friday the 13th is that we had to put up with those horrible movies. Although I traded on Friday the 13th, [...]

Well, this wasn’t a good week for me. After coming off a great July, I tried to force trades and didn’t wait for good setups. August is typically a more volatile month to begin with, which magnified the problem. Here are the trades for this week: http://www.tradingheroes.com/losing-trades/08032009-gbpjpy-trade (-107 pips) http://www.tradingheroes.com/losing-trades/08042009-gbpjpy-trade [...]

It was a good week, all winners and almost a 1% gain on the account balance. I think I’m getting the hang of this thing. If I pick good trades and play good defense while I’m in the trades, I know that I will at least trade at break even. [...]

Woohoo, this was the best week in awhile! Four trades and no losers, not too shabby. Of course there is always room for improvement but I think this is a great starting point. I need to be able to maximize winners and bring up the average profit on my winners. [...]

All losers this week. It was frustrating because I could have been profitable if I had taken money off the table when I had a chance. The first trade on the 9th had a good profit that I should have taken off the table. My goal is to find one [...]

This was a short week with only three trading days. I made two trades this week: http://www.tradingheroes.com/winning-trades/06292009-gpbjpy-trade (+32 pips) http://www.tradingheroes.com/winning-trades/06292009-gbpjpy-trade-2 (+8 pips) Total profit is +40 pips. Not too many trades, but a good week.
There was only one trade this week. There were other trades that I almost executed but price didn’t get close enough to the levels I was looking for. http://www.tradingheroes.com/winning-trades/06222009-gbpjpy-trade (+120 pips) I still need to have more trades in a week, but I’m glad that I was profitable. It was [...]

Hello, I’ve been slacking on the weekly trading reviews so I am determined to continue them and keep up. Not a great trading week this week. There were only two trades and I lost money overall.
