Thread: Pipples Easy Daily Trading Journal

  1. #1
    Okay I've been motivated to include my transactions here instantly as I make them. I trade for quite a few customers and generally do well for them, so hopefully this helps somebody at somepoint. I utilize a combination of indiors on largely 1hr/4hr charts with smaller timeframes to confirm.
    Any feedback would be great, as I have found this forum to be entertaining as eduional. As far as lot sizes proceed, it varies per customer based on how far they have in their accounts, but generally is pretty small save for some bigger customers, as I allow them open rather tiny accounts to test me out. I frequently change Limit Orders and Stops since the market orders, but will generally include one of each with most transactions. I also generally trade the four majors, with a majority of transactions in GBP/USD. I've been doing this for a living for a few years now, as I am an ex-options broker (commodities) that only found additional success and fun in trading forex. That is by no means an advertisement for my solutions, as I wouldn't screw up the ethics of the forum or my valued access to it for a few bucks. I will also attach a time for the transaction to keep the diary's ethics proper. All quoted entries will be including disperse. In the event that you were wondering why I also exchange my funds directly along my customers, even though a little more than them as I've got much more confidence in myself than they do at first, obviously. Hope you like it.

    Hi Pipple,

    I came to this thread after reading your post at Steviet's. Are you using his egy?

    Hey,

    Excellent to see you're beginning a journal here too - now we can see the way the actual traders do it

    I didn't realise you exchanged for clients - is that more nerve wracking than just trading on your own?

    Kind Regards
    Steve

    Not using his method, use a combo of different things at different times. Dont believe in following a set system cash management remains pretty though.

    Also something to keep in mind. I will be in a trade all of the time, and my entries and exits are accepted in all trading sessions, sometimes during and for the news, and at times swing.

    I think that it should be default for all journals to possess trade #, and ytd pips..it's so prevalent today

    Seems in this way one's screaming whipsaw for me, possibly a bad initial number coupled with that revision horsecrap would ruin all those with heavy strangle-like poisitions high and low. I personally have trouble NOT trading this report. Will keep posted following few minutes on egy....if any!
