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:

I finished the week down -140 pips, which was a -1% loss on the total account.  That isn’t bad considering the blow up weeks I have had in the past, losing much more than that in a single week.

I have to be more patient next week!

]]> 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.  Now the key is to be more consistently profitable.

Here are the trades for this week:

Grand total of +94 pips.

Here are the trades:

Grand total: +64 pips

Because of the lot sizes however, I was down a little on a dollar basis.  No big deal.

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.

Here are the trades:

The grand total was +83 pips for the week which was a +1.3% gain in account equity.  I went 4/4 for a 100% win percentage.  Not a huge gain, but a great start in the right direction.

]]> 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 good trade a day.  I don’t want to force a trade if it isn’t there, but I need to get more consistent if I am going to trade for a living.

Hope you are all trading well!

I made two trades this week:

Total profit is +40 pips.  Not too many trades, but a good week.
