What is the Secret of Successful Trading?
The Consistent Pursuit of DS1
The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".
I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

Re: Brenda's Journal
Only traded NY today. Didn't see many set ups that I liked. I'm thinking because of the News Releases.
#1 -8 pips (forgot to add the spread for buys, should never have triggered. Oh well, lesson learned!.)
#2 +0 BE
Pip Total= -8
Account Growth= -.005 (No worries!)
