View Full Version : Trading Journal of an Indonesian rookie
Hi, I'm new and I come from Indonesia. lt's the first time I open a diary here... enjoy trading.
Hello, What you did in one day, many professional traders do in a year. Either you had an impressive streak of luck, or you just discovered the holy grail. I recommend you go calmly and lower your leverage a little if you don�t want to lose what you earned. Good luck! Khalil No risk there is no glory
Thank you sir, I'm still learning to become a good trader.

Awesome, you did 22% in one day!
Hey, brother, nice to meet you.
Sales area for AUDUSD #sessionLondon
You're operating on lots too big!
Good morning Indonesia........ Enjoy trading
Today I opened a purchase at EURJPY. The entry was good, but I left very soon. I could have won twice as much. I have to work my patience. This market does not always reward the impatient.
USDCHF touched a key area and bounced hard. I took advantage of a quick entrance. I went out with +15 pips. Nothing spectacular, but adds up.
Sometimes I feel like the market is against me just for fun. Three stops in line. I won�t give up, but it hurts.
GBPUSD made a perfect move today. Entry into support and exit in resistance. Finally I felt that everything fit. What a feeling.
I lost an operation to move the SL too soon. I promised not to, but anxiety won me over again.
I'm starting to use trailing stop. Sometimes it works, sometimes it gets me out early.
The overrun ruined me last week. I admit. This week, I will only take two sets a day at the most. Discipline or ruin.
I operated on news today. Bad idea. The spread went off and the SL jumped pointless. No more operations during major fundamentals.
Has anyone tried trading with Asian ranks? I�m seeing good patterns in those hours. I thought the market was sleeping, but no. It�s just moving differently.
Technical analysis works, but psychological command. I'm working more in my head than in graphics.
I opened a sale at AUDUSD and closed it with +30 pips. Little by little I recover confidence. This week it looks good.
One thing I learned: less is more. The simpler I make my system, the better results.
I acted against my plan... again. I need to tattoo myself �follow the plan� on the forehead.
Who said the technical analysis does not work? Today the price respected the support as textbook.
I'm testing a break-up strategy on M15. Mixed results, but I'm learning a lot.
Sometimes I feel like the market knows where my SL is.
I've tried dozens of indicators, and in the end I went back to the pure price action, less confusion, more clarity.
Today I didn�t operate. And you know what, it�s also part of the job. Waiting for a good opportunity is harder than clicking.
My best trade of the month came after losing three days in a row. Moral: don't give up on a bad streak.
I'm practicing inputs with confluence of levels and patterns. It's slower, but much more effective.
I see many get frustrated fast. What did you expect? Get rich in a week? This is a trade, not a bet.
Thankful to those who sincerely comment on this thread. Sometimes, a single phrase changes the way you see the market.
I'm scoring every operation with a screen and note. My trading journal has become my best teacher.
I tried scalping on M1... that's crazy. lt's not for me. I prefer clean moves on H1.
My goal for April: consistency, not explosive profits. I want to end the month without breaking the rules.
Is anyone else using Renko to clean up the noise?
I hate to admit it, but leverage is sabotaging me. I�m going to bring it down to 1:10 and re-evaluate my risk management.
Today was one of those days when you don't understand anything, neither the price, nor your system, nor your head, I closed the platform.
Japanese candles are still my favorite tool. A good engulfing in support is worth more than any indicator.
I'm backing up my strategy at EURJPY. I don't care if it takes weeks. I want to see it with data.
I started meditating before surgery. It helps me to get focused and not act out of impulse.
Today I did everything wrong, but I learned a valuable lesson: do not operate sleepily. The market does not forgive your tiredness.
I've been positive for three days, and this time I'm not going to get excited.
I�m following some institutional traders on Twitter. I don�t operate like them, but they give useful ideas.
I tried to copy signals from Telegram. Result: total disaster. No one takes care of your money as yourself. End point.
I changed my broker and noticed a lot of difference in spreads. Sometimes, the problem isn't you, it's the platform.
Today I learned that sometimes the best trade is the one you don't take. I saw an entrance, I hesitated, and the price plummeted. I saved myself.
Looking at my diary, I notice my losses come from operating outside the plan.
When I operate in fear, I lose. When I operate confidently but not arrogantly, I win. Attitude is everything.
Today I went up the SL to a draw very soon. The price took me out and then went to my TP. I learned the lesson.
I'm devoting my afternoons to studying institutional, VSA and order blocks. There's a lot of smoke out there, but also jewelry.
