Very bad day. The first time in a while the emotions got to me and put me in some stupid trades. Its like when price just won't go in any direction, my mind says "oh, you (oil price) want to just chop around, well I'll show you, I'll enter without any setup whatsoever! Ha!"

 

I simply cannot watch the chart when oil is in preinventory lull. I will find something to trade so from now on I'll either find something else to trade during that period or sleep in a little and get to the charts in time for inventory. Of course today's post inventory action was slow and choppy but that is unusual.

Great day of profits for the small range moves that were provided. All the volume was split between the J and K contract so none of the moves had much umph and someone did not want to let oil breakdown. Every try failed. Nice to have a day with no drawdowns though.

Well, I blew my chance for a great day. Oil moved big and I was early to short but just couldn't hold through it after getting used to all those choppy days. This is my recurring problem. We'll see if I can come up with some solutions this weekend. Okay week. Really need to improve things going forward.

In the end, down for the week, but still feeling strangely good about the week in general...

 

Your average loss is getting smaller and your average win is getting larger. Still much room for improvements, but I believe this is the third week of improvement in that respect, so we might have a trend! That is likely the source of why you feel "strangely good" while being down. Improvement yields its own rewards.

 

I hope the trend continues for you.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

I really wanted a better than $1000 day so I kept trading and ended up with a boatload of trades today. I was long at the LOD and considering the opening gap I was going to ride it but I saw those ticks start rolling in and cut the profits. A little dejavu day from March 15 when we got a trend up day right after a big breakdown. I first started trading oil back when these types of days were the norm and making money was easy. Luckily I stayed in SIM to get a handle on how to trade all the other narrow range days. If oil keeps making these types of moves, I'll be very happy.

I have got to stop taking momentum based trades, especially in historically choppy price areas. Drawdown was my worst in 5 weeks. Bad day. Can't blame the chop, I just traded poorly.

+$707. This was a very painful day for me as my account was down over $1000 for the majority of the day and then around 3:00, it started coming back up.... Just dreadful and stressful, but ended up on a positive note.

Hey guys,

 

I just funded a new Oanda account with $100, which I'm going to begin trading next week. I plan to post my P/L here.

 

I'll be exclusively trading the EUR/JPY...8am-2:30pm & 7pm-11pm, Eastern Time.

 

I'm risking no more than 2% per trade, with on average just a handful of trades per day.

 

No daily goals, weekly goals, etc...just taking it one moment at a time, trading the best I can with what I'm given.

 

-Cory

Focused a lot on only entering in better setups and I am happy with today's trade number. I guess I was so focused on keeping the trade # down I forgot to let a trade move before exiting. Cut huge profit winners after 5 ticks for some reason. I'll have to fix that tomorrow.

 

I also skipped traking any trades before inventory. Even though it was a narrow range the only trade setup I saw yielded an easy 25 ticks.

Couple bad trades but overall got great entries on the breakdowns. Everything was a little too slow for my liking but you take what you get. Good day.

    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
