Trading Losses and Adjustment to Methodology

 Dear mates,

The day has been challenging day for me where I have realised a few mistakes that I could have been on today's losses. Yes, I have to admit that both trades today were made with negligence and with little vigilance. I will thus avoid making this same mistake by not trading between SGT 0800hrs (0000hrs GMT) and SGT 1630hrs (0830 GMT) daily, as I admit that I am not very focused within that time of the day.

Trading time horizon may be in a matter of minutes. Trades are made in a manner that will consistently look forward to an exit on the short term, although it has a primary target that will be looking forward to stay on a trend for the long term. This method may not be a conventional strategy that you may agree with, but it is something that has worked for me for a period of time. 

I shall leave no stone unturned from my next trade, in addition, I would want to remind everyone who is reading this that there is no strategy that is fool-proof and free from losses, therefore, if you are viewing my calls on a consistent basis, please reminded that losses made like what happened over the past few days may re-occur on a consistent basis, therefore I hope you can only view this with a pinch of salt, and measure the result against the actual market.

My 50,000 long AUD/USD at 0.7903 is stopped out at 0.7803 with 100pips of losses. GBP/JPY remains opened from 189.49.

Now let's rock the markets today!!!

Trading Rules In A Nutshell

Hi all, I'm finally done with the setup on my new Forexyard Demo account.  As on our previous posts, trading calls will officially commence from today, and we will review the result of trading on a week to week, month by month, and year by year basis (hope I'm that determined). Let us move in small strides to make this work on a long term. Summarizing some facts before we start on making market calls, here are some rules that I will be following: Stops are pre-determined before any entry of trades Size of trade is determined by the total size of the account, total risk should not be more 1% of the total value of the trading account at any time. My target return per week is to achieve 0.5% gains weekly. Compound it by 56 weeks, you should get our annual target. (Gains are tabulated on a weekly basis only) Term of trades may vary between minutes and even up to weeks. Weekly P&L on the Demo Account no. 77104 will be published at both http://systematic-trading.blogspot.com a...
