Hello community, I introduce myself: I am a trader with more anxiety than patience, and I have decided to open this journal to document my attempt to convert $50 to $1,000. Why so little capital? Because I refuse to lose more until I prove that I can be consistent with the minimum. The challenge is simple: to operate micro lots in forex (EURUSD, GBPJPY and XAUUSD mainly
Day 1 Operations: EURUSD long from 1.0731, SL 1.0711, TP 1.0765. Result: TP reached. +34 pips GBPJPY short from 188.60, SL 188.95, TP 188.10. Result: SL touched. -35 pips Balance of the day: +$2.47 New balance: $52.47 Not bad for a first day... and without using the push button.
Day 2 Gold tempted me with a fake break and I bit the hook like a rookie... XAUUSD buy in 2323, SL 2318, TP 2335. Result: -5 USD One operation today because it hurt my loss. The good thing is that I followed the plan. The bad thing: I didn't expect confirmation.
Day 3 Today I took the day to look at the graphics without operating. I analyzed my previous entries, marked mistakes, took notes. It sounds boring, but I learned more than by trading the crazy as I usually do. Tomorrow I go back to the wheel with the coldest head. I’m beginning to understand that the diary serves more to slow than to push.
Day 4 Trade 1: GBPJPY buy from 187.70. SL 187.10, TP 188.60. Result: TP fulfilled. +90 pips Trade 2: EURUSD short at 1.0801. SL 1.0831, TP 1.0765. Result: I closed manual at 1.0780 out of fear... +21 pips Total of the day: +$7.65 Balance: $55.12 I'm going up slowly, but this time without crashing.
Day 5 Today I operated as a champion. Double entry in gold with scalping: XAUUSD short in 2330, partial departure in 2326, rest in 2321. Total gain: +$8.12 For the first time I felt that I didn't operate to prove anything, just by probability. If this continues, the challenge doesn't seem so wild.
Day 6 Newbie error... I operated against the "intuition" trend. EURUSD long in 1.0790, without confirming anything. Result: -$6.20 It hurt me because it was pure arrogance. The good thing is that I did not add more lots to "promediate". At least I learned something.
I didn't operate today, but I checked the diary and noticed that when I rest one day, I usually operate better the next day.
Day 7 Fast Scalping in European session: 3 small operations in EURUSD, all positive, total +$3.34 The key? I waited for the price to reach my areas, and I didn’t run behind it. It sounds obvious, but doing it costs.
Day 8 Rough error: I left an operation open during news (NFP
