For those who are interested in seeing some setups/charts. Here are two trades I've taken on GBP/AUD recently. These are both my T1 - Trend Continuation trades. 1. First trade +0.76R (cut manually because I was expecting this to blow through the upside, however when it started stalling at the...

Forgot to mention on the above update. The losing streak came right after a holiday. Pre-holiday, fantastic trading. Post-holiday, well you can see the post above. This is also important for me to remember, in the future when I look back, this is quite a crucial piece of information to...

Thanks for your response, its interesting to hear more about you. And apologies for late response. If you're getting "triple digit" returns per year, then I don't see why you would need to be more active to give your children a large pot of money. Those returns would compound what you have to...

Update Summary of trades since last recap: 28 July to 1 Aug 2025 = -2.83R (4 trades) What to say...just one of those weeks 4 Aug to 8 Aug 2025 = -4.62R (7 trades) 3 trades were a complete mistake i.e. it was not in my original plan. I will explain below why these were taken. F*ck me...

Hi capkidd, I have found trading to be a mirror of your inner self. If one is saying they are consistently profitable and they are not, they are only lying to themselves and the trading becomes even harder. I have found a few truths along the way so far, maybe that's a post I should do in time...

Catch up time. Summary of trades since last recap: 7 July to 11 July 2025 = +1.42R (2 trades) Had two profitable trades, +0.22R and +1.2R 14 July to 18 July = +1R (1 trade) 21 July to 25 July = -0.72R (1 trade) I took a break between 18 July to 24 July 2025 Actually turned out to be decent...

This is the largest RR trade I ever had which I mentioned in my earlier post. What a beauty! Dax +3.62R Entry on the 26th June 2025 around 7am. Exit on 27th June 2025 around 5pm. Very clean trade, just pure Support and Resistance. I think I got Max Value from this trade :) I can just look at...

Update time on my $100k FTMO Challenge, Phase 2. It is always interesting for me to look back at my previous post and see how my performance was from that exact point in time. At the time of my last post, basically 4 weeks ago, I was -5R = -5%. The following week, I had a PHENOMENAL WEEK...

Hey THT, appreciate the response and you outlining your response in detail too. Annual returns of 70% to triple digit returns are very good, exceptional I would say. I see your method as using HTF for Bias and the lower timeframes for entry. The amount of indicators you have is more than I...

You have a very long term bias, which seems to be akin to what a fundamentals trader would be using, except you are only basing this on stats and technicals, so I will be interested in the following, if you are up for sharing: 1. I am curious, do you trade for living/hobby/job ? 2. You seem to...

Hey, I really like the way you are documenting progress. I am also documenting my prop firm challenge progress - on FTMO phase 2 currently. One thing I will say, is that I personally witnessed a close friend of mine (great trader) who made a $hit ton of money from FTMO, never been refused a...

FTMO Phase 2 challenge progress 17 trades: - 4 Winners - 2 BE - 11 Losers = -5% (in drawdown), so balance at $95,000. There is no point even posting the Equity graph, you can simply imagine the flipped version of the above FTMO equity chart. It has never been in profit, so yeah literally the...

A brief update. I have passed FTMO phase 1 And these are my stats for Phase 1. I was very deliberate and intentional with every single one of my trades, apart from the single mistake trade.

Hi BigDeal, your comment is very much appreciated. This 'raw' type of narration will continue in this journal because it is first and foremost for me to never forget my journey and if it is entertaining/educational for others then its a bonus. It is quite nice to hear you have kept up with the...

I am now just constantly reminding myself of the following: 1. It will take as long as it takes. 2. If I take a trade - I have to see an absolutely amazing set up and I will WAIT for the perfect setup. I know I am a good trader, my recent tilt mode does not mean anything but that and I will...
