Shinny's 1 Hour Journal
Hi everybody,
I have just bought this system and would like to document my trades, as I believe this helps to learn.
I am going to begin by trading the 1 Hour time frame, with 5 FX pairs, Oil, Gold, Silver and the Major Indices, a lot I know, but variety is the spice of life!!
Please feel free to comment on any charts I upload.
Thanks
Shinny

Closed Silver Long -44, or -1.34%. Full Stop was 2% or 65 pips, price came down and crossed red and green lines, so just got out.
I have a bracket order to sell also as purple line is in the AIMS.

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.
My Deathbed Advice "5:1 Reward to Risk Ratio".
Yo, banana boy!

Re: Shinny's 1 Hour Journal
Gold Short trade (again!!)
Getting chopped a bit, but losses getting cut short.
By its very definition, I am hoping my winning trades take a lot longer, as that means I will be riding the trends.
The old adage is thus "cut losses short, let profits run", well I have certainly cut my losses and when I get some good trades I will let them run!
