Shinny's Journal

Unread post by shinny »

Hello AIMSTERS

Here is my journal chronicling my trades.

I trade only EURUSD on M5/M1 using the "traditional" or classical method.

I LOVE double aims levels and trade only the 1st and 2nd boxes, usually anyway, unless its an absolute runaway market. I would consider myself a pretty conservative trader, and I'm not a good tenant as I don't like paying rent :D I try to stay out of the chop (and rent paying) but of course its not always possible, such is life and trading.

I have been trading Full Time since 2005, mainly trading longer term strategies on 4 hr and above charts, but in 2011 I began trading AIMS.

I began trading 1 hr charts and lots of pairs but have found over time that the good old EU on M5/M1 works best for me. I pay less rents, and catch every move available by focusing on and being as good as I can, just trading EURUSD.

I am new to the enhanced concepts like the seed etc, but hope to implement them into my trading plan in the near future, but until then, I will stick to what I know.

I hope to gain a lot from this journal, and if it helps anybody else too then that's fine with me.

Any comments or questions would be welcomed and appreciated.

My initial posts may be a bit rusty to begin with, but I hope to evolve my journal into something like Grants with his pdf's but until then its a pic in the post!

Trades for today:

1: Sold a double aims break, looked set to be a nice trade but didn't really go anywhere.
2: Closed on Black for +3
3: Had a second go, again at a double level, and again it didn't want to go down much.
4: Closed on Black for -3

Also, notice the divergence after my 2nd entry, a sit up and take notice. I was very tempted to buy it up for a test first of the purple line, then possibly the recent swing high to the left (which it duly hit for 20 pips) but just stuck to my plan.

5: Bought a break of, yes you guessed it, a double aims level. Trade immediately came back on me but I stuck with it and when I saw the 2nd signal I was more confident being long.
6: Closed on black for +24

Daily P/L: 24 pips
Daily %: 2.4%
