My starting balance at the time of this post is $2563.06. I actually had a winning trade while posting this. So I will be including that as well. See attachments.

Strategy: I will be using a combination of trend lines, support/resistance, and some indicators available on this forum such as the FEN indicator, Gann Time Clusters, and possibly some more.

Entries: I sometimes use pending orders and sometimes market orders. It depends on when I see a good trade set up and my availability. I will also use an averaging in method. So if price goes against my trade(s), I will open another trade in the same direction to get a better overall combined price. Any unfilled pending orders will be deleted after profit is reached.

Exits: I usually will set a set TP. I usually do not set a SL. This is just my personal style. That may be too risky for many traders, but that's fine. I will not be setting a SL for the following reasons:



  • I do not have to worry about getting stopped out of an otherwise great trade. Forex is volatile and many times a SL will be barely hit and then price goes on in the right direction afterwards.
  • This is money I can afford to lose. I will not lose any sleep over margin calls, if any. I am trading with pure profit from previous trading activity after withdrawing my initial deposit amounts.
  • I am trading with an account with low leverage. So even if my trades are liquidated after a margin call, there will still be money left in the account for future trading.

Broker: I will be using Oanda with 50:1 leverage and the FIFO rule enforced.
good, you are very good at analyzing! maintain your talent and always update your journal. so that new traders quickly learn to understand trade analysis. thank you friend;D

It's worth the style of trading, sir, to be very careful and right to consider this a business, I see from an open position that looks clearly realistic and disciplined from take profit placement, and good use of laverage while protecting the account itself

The smaller the leverage we use, the less risk we risk. With this, keep the MC from happening.

I sold EURJPY twice. The 1st time was because of a FEN indicator signal. The next time was because price was at a resistance level from a trend line.

Total profit made was +$84.13

I sold USDJPY because there was a trend line on the H1 that was about to break. Price had been touching the trend line many times and price stalled at resistance at 110.60. I sold this and had very little draw down. Price hit TP a few candles later.

Total profit made was +$24.01

yesterday the price at EJ moved according to my expectations, where prices are expected to fall to support then rebound and move up again, there has been a 125,235 breakout resistance daily, and finally closed positively, the price of the breakout resistance,

then the opportunity for today in the EJ pair is bullish, because it is very clear that yesterday's price breakout resistance, this time the chance for a correction to the support / RBS or slightly down as seen in the picture, the price will correction to the trendline then rebound,

I am currently bearish on EURUSD because of some trend lines on the D1 TF. See attachment.

So I placed some sell trades for EURUSD. I also have more sell trades open and will only be selling EURUSD for the near term.

Total profit is +$388.60

I do agree with you sir..with my analysis using bollingerbands and candlestick at d1 timeframe right now EURUSD closed at up middle bb but the bb is flat and also the another reason is the candlestick have long wick or tail at the upper body its means seller has come and soonly will be downward or continue the bearish trend.thanks

I am bearish on USDTRY right now. There is a weekly trend line that has been broken to the downside. Price has been bullish for weeks and trying to make it's way back up to the trend line. Price is also near a previous resistance point. I will only be selling USDTRY for now.

Selling USDTRY also pays positive daily interest. So simply holding this order open will increase your profit every day. This can be seen in the attached image.

Total profit made was +$140.68
