-I'm not really proud of my averaging in eurjpy, risking much for no good reason. If I don't know where to put stop or don't want to accept that it's time for stop it's better not to trade that trade
- I'm far better in those nice scalping situation when stop or gain is quick and definite

- news trade with limit orders didn't work (no spike) so I canceled them

- this news trading turns out to be quite nice sport
- third of usual size because on previous reports there were whipsaws, in previous few occasions move wasn't so big and lasted really only as initial spike that's why I closed it immediately
- good news after bad news in which Google announced shut down of Google reader

- I don't know why I didn't use before those bracket limit orders before the news if execution on Oanda is so good
- half size trades
- again problem with second add on trade, I just lowered my overall profit, move concentration away from first trade and made an exit at worst possible time
- third trade ok
- last two trades maybe holding on one of them longer

- three pips is enough in this enviroment
- if it's possible top of the range don't tick yourself out
- adding second position only complicate things and get you out prematurely
- second position problem again
- after finally profit continuation trade that's low probability in this choppy low range market
- nervous trades, saved on one
- again three pips should be enough however small it looks
- not thought out trades in the end made while I was really doing other things, lost eight pips

September & October

Hello fellow traders
I reloaded my account with fresh bullets. Trading fever is not keeping me glued to screens like it used to. Long gone are the days of juicy intraday trading ranges in forex. Nevertheless I'm still here.

I was profitable in trend but I decided to continue playing around, looking for reversal back down so profit melted and loss became bigger. This is kind of market that is hard to see lately.

May

Started the month optimistic and with few good days. Later bad days got out of hand. As usual when emotions kick in my daily stop limit was breached.

I'm seriously contemplating leaving behind scalping. On some days I'm able to turn profit, but very hard and rare. On bad days I can't contain bad behavior and lose so much more then I win on good days. The problem is that I'm little disinterested in other forms of trading, other time frames. So when I don't scalp I don't trade.

On my second trade I was slow at entry as I clicked it moved 3pips, so I got bad position. Third trade it would be better to take 3-4 pips and not wait. I was overall slow this morning in every sense.
