ok, manual trading is indeed better monitored, do you use Stop loss during trading?
No, I do not use a SL. That's just my personal preference. You can read about this and other details in the 1st post.

EURGBP went up a lot again after my last post. So I made some more sell trades. I expect EURGBP to fall down more as I posted about before. I set TP for these at nice round numbers just to get out fast and to free up some margin. I will be reentering some sell trades again if price goes up after this post.

Total profit = +$162.45

I sold EURGBP again late last week. As I said in my last post, if price goes back up then I would be reentering some more sell trades. So this is what I did. Long-term I am bearish on EURGBP and I will keep selling and taking profit as price keeps bouncing up and down.

Total profit = +$161.55

USDTRY went up after my last post and I was able to reenter some more sell trades. Both near the 5.60 level. The first trade just had a modest TP to get in and out faster. The 2nd trade had a TP at next support level. USDTRY has fallen a lot lately and I have other trades open at this time. So I may only sell this more if I see big moves up and it's a good opportunity.

There is also interest shown in the screenshot which is caused by holding USDTRY sell trades open with Oanda.

Total profit =+$208.45

I have been selling USDCAD. I am long-term bearish on USDCAD which I have posted about in the technical section. I will be selling this at resistance levels until price finally falls down to at least the 1.31 level. For example, in the attached screenshot there was an H1 trend line that was broke and re-tested. I got in right before the drop in price.

Total profit = +$114.33

I do sometimes do this, but it will be posted in the technical section. For example, I recently posted about the USDCAD before I posted here in my trading journal.

I am currently short USDCAD and EURGBP. Both are long-term trades. So there are many pips to fall. So you can get in and out many times as the market moves up and down until it finally falls enough. I set TP's at support points or simply close manually when I see enough profit has been made. There are several ways to trade the long-term trading setups.

USDCAD went back up again and gave me the opportunity to sell again. As I posted about before, this is a long-term trade and there is a lot more room to fall. My TP's were set at easy round numbers just to get in and out with good profit. I have other trades open at the moment for EURGBP.

EURGBP is at very high levels and I am waiting for this to fall hard. I have been selling as price moves up. I closed 2 sell trades. These were the same types of trades near the 0.9285 level. TP was a simple 35 pips at a psychological level. As price bounces up and down, I often will re-enter the same trades over and over. I am still bearish on EURGBP long-term, as I have posted about before. I will keep selling this until price falls down a good distance yet.

Total profit = +$321.05

I closed some more USDTRY sell trades. The 1st was a sell trade I had open for a long time. It made me a lot of profit from all the daily interest collected. I closed it since USDTRY has fallen a long distance recently. The 2nd trade was simply a reentry since price moved up strongly and hit a resistance level. I still expect USDTRY to fall a little more. So it was a fast way to profit. TP was at a support level.

Total profit = +$136.98

Late last week, USDTRY went back up to the 5.60 area where I traded at before. When I noticed it, I manually entered and set a TP at a nice round number. This was basically another example of how I re-enter trades near the same levels over and over again. 

I am still bearish on USDTRY, but it has already fallen a big amount and I have already profited a lot for the last few months. I will only enter new USDTRY trades now when I see a big move up like this and I can get in and out fast. Unless a new opportunity comes up.

Total profit =+$103.53

I closed out some more EURGBP sell trades late last week as price fell hard. I have been waiting for this to happen. I am still bearish on EURGBP, but maybe not for long. I think this will probably find support near the 0.91 level.

Total profit = +$282.71
