Re: Tomi's friendly market journal
Hi Tomi
I noticed one thing. You're still considering each trade as a separate entity. Its better to consider add ons as part of one Trade. You're scaling in. So think about average price instead of considering each entry as a separate trade. 1 trade with separate entries and exits, that's how we should see it.
So when you had 7 pip Slippage, there was no need to be extra careful. All you had to do was, wheather average entry was ok or not. e.g. it could have dropped a 100 pips down and then you'd be not too happy having closed it.
Such innovations happen as we experience stress and anxiety. we are creative beings.
my 2 cents worth
cheers

Re: Tomi's friendly market journal
This is some awesome trading mate. I think you're one of the best traders I've seen so far! just keep trading like so and you'll soon forget what the word job or work means, perhaps you might even forget what paying bills etc used to be like! You're like a child who thinks he can pick candy from any shop and actually he gets it... thats what a trader in zone does. He takes money out of the markets at will.... keep going .... keep going
