Took another trade today which ended in a loss. -43 pips on an Eddie buy. Thought i'd identified a valid test. The next bar brought me in but once the test had failed I should have cut my losses. Instead, emotions got the better of me and I watched it continue down and hit my stop. Once the test failed I could have even considered reversing my position. -2.3% for the week so far.
With regards to taking trades, i'm certainly getting back into the swing of things this week. Perhaps need to be a little more patient with my entries and more mindful once I am in the trade.
I'm taking the losses better and better each time, I think I dislike the being wrong part more than the losing money part!
Trade 64 - EUR/USD - Buy @ 1.4198 Closed @ 1.4155 = -43

Hi Julia,
ReplyDeleteIt's slow going at the moment, making more mistakes than anything. Still enjoying trading but looking forward to the summer passing and getting into the Autumn / Winter trading!
Crazy markets is spot on but learning more and more all the time.
How about you?
Cheers,
Liam
