Since im done for the day, i figured i would give some thoughts on this weeks trading so far. Monday started of slow with no trades taken.Tue had a sell signal so entered short hoping there would be a pullback to TP level.Late that evening it came within 7pips of take profit,but it didnt happen.So this would be the first trade that carried into the next day.Wed With tuesday short still running.My next sig is another short, im thinking in my head this isnt the smartest thing to do. But,i had to trust my system and enter another short position (with different ST and TP) it was looking good for a while again it made it down to 7pips from TP on tuesday trade,then exploded up taking out my Stop for wed trade, so now im thinking this is serious support, wow 2 times in a row it made it down to 1.9717 and 2 times it couldnt push through the support!! Today Woke up this morning with tue trade still running and again another signal to sell :eek: now at this point im thinking this really isnt very smart, 2 times it couldnt push through support and im entering against the daily trend. 1 time u can get away with it 2 times your pushing your luck but 3 times in a row entering against the trend!!!! Well i just bit my tounge,even though it was against what i learned over the past 2 1/2 years,I had to trust in my system, so with a TP for todays trade at 1.9687 again i doubled up on Tuesday trade against the daily trend!!!! And the end results was TP hit on both trades,Once it pushed down through support it was just a matter of time.

Im finding out commision is starting to add up quick,for todays trade i was playing around to figure in the commision with the 2% loss so it will be a true 2% loss. I was a little off this morning even though i entered in at 1 pip better than predicted:D So for now on thats what ill do!! This is a work in progress.Still playing around with the numbers.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!
