This was a bad week. I was actually profitable on a pip basis, but dollar wise I lost -2.6% of total equity. I did some impulsive and irrational trades in the EURUSD. The trades were as follows:
- GBPCHF (2 positions) +27 pips
- CHFJPY +226 pips
- EURCAD -198
- EURUSD trade #1 -22 pips
- EURUSD trade #2 +4 pips
- EURUSD trade #3 -11 pips
Grand total of +26 pips. I did a lot of reflection this week on why I did those dumb trades in the EURUSD and I think I got most of it figured out here. The EURUSD trades really killed me because of the large lot sizes. If it wasn’t for those trades, I would have been profitable on a dollar basis.
