Intraday trading FIFO

[sesaxricdonesy]

Scalping strategy, I go in fast and I go out even faster. I manage my operations with a maximum drawdown limit of 25%. The goal with this small account is to make it grow as fast as possible. I hate to be exposed to the market a lot of time because there are too many things that can change the direction. That�s why I try not to operate 95% of the time.

Today's operations: +3.9% the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

Funny week, I didn't do a single operation until now... and I'm glad to have the discipline of staying out. I learned to stay out when the chart looks ugly, and wait only for good opportunities. But they will come. the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Good results today: +6.4%. Patience was rewarded... I loved the CADCHF movement after the news. The CAD was already too overbought. The reaction was strong and fast. I came out a little before time, but okay. the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

Selling USDJPY right now, as it's too discounted, I had no room to breathe. I think it's going to plummet fast. Plus, in a few hours we have the ISM manufacturing PMI, and those numbers seem too positive... We'll see. the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

EURJPY also looks interesting if it reaches 132.36 without a big fall... the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

I closed whole lot. Very fast gain of 1.2% today. the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

I'm starting to sell EURJPY from 132.45 onwards. the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

And I closed it, very quickly. I love being only a few minutes in the market... FIFO. the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

Very wild market today, very strong movements. That again shows why I prefer to enter and leave quickly. Fast gain of +2.2% today and I already finished for today... the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

Good day for scalpers like me. I pulled +2.4% in a few minutes. I went in, went out and ready for today. Maybe later add something if good prices return... the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

There are large sales positions open at AUDCAD at 0.92751 and below. That will be the next target... The account grows as expected. The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

This week was amazing. +15%. I closed all operations at AUDCAD, although they didn�t reach the target. I�m not sure they will reach it this week, so maybe next week I will resell if the targets are still valid... the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

With this strategy I achieved almost 100% in 100 days and with very little drawdown. Target achieved. I will not continue to publish my results because it seems to be of no use to anyone. I will continue to operate this account until it is large enough to transfer funds to a serious and professional account. the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary

[sesaxricdonesy]

Many say that scalping is not profitable in the long term, but I invite them to see my capital curve. It may not be the sexiest one in the world, but it is constant and frightless. I prefer to win little and followed it all in a miraculous entry. The secret is in discipline, not in the system. Few understand that, and that is why they fail before they come to see real results. FIFO is my way of avoiding emotional chaos.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Today was one of those days where I would have loved to have the courage to operate stronger. The entrance was clear, the execution was clean, but I operated with small size. Result: +0.9%. I do not complain, but it does leave me thinking how many times the fear steals from us part of the profits. The goal now is to align confidence with technique.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Do you know what the most difficult thing about scalping is? It is not the entrance, nor the exit... it is to stand still when there are no opportunities. Overtrading kills more accounts than any bad SL. Today I did not operate and I feel as satisfied as if I had made +3%. That is mental progress, even if it is not seen in the account.

[sesaxricdonesy]

I just made an entry in GBP/USD that came out perfect: +1.8% in less than 4 minutes. And without perspiring. When everything flows, it seems easy... but I know it�s the product of waiting for the exact moment. Scalping is not speed, it�s precision. You have to tune your eye like a surgeon.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Sometimes I think if I said I used a miracle bot, more people would be interested in this diary, but since it's manual scalping, patience, and serious management... nobody values it. Better this way. While the others look for shortcuts, I keep adding up day by day.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Weird market today. I didn�t touch anything. I was in front of the screen, but every move yelled at me: �Don�t come in.� I just watched and learned. No loss is also profit. Today was a profitable day in experience.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Most of those who criticize FIFO have not lasted a week without burning an account. I say this with respect, but also with firmness: this requires temper, not only technique. If you want results like mine, I first learned to stay still. Then we talked.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Lightning entry in AUD/USD: +1.1%. I left before TP but right in congestion zone. I prefer to go well than expect miracles. Another day with profit, another day that confirms that being outside 95% of the time pays.

[sesaxricdonesy]

I'm fine-tuning the hours where I operate. Turns out between 9:00 and 11:00 (GMT+2

[sesaxricdonesy]

Today was a difficult day. I made three innings, two went well, one was loss. Net result: +0.4%. I keep the fact that I followed my rules 100%. You don�t always win big, but you can always operate well.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Someone told me privately that �this is luck.� I answered him with 128 recorded operations and a curve without falls. Lucky to be so lucky, isn�t it? Ironies aside, who doesn�t believe in methodical work, is doomed to live waiting for miracles.

[sesaxricdonesy]

I'm really liking how USD/CAD reacts in American session. Clean and quite technical movements. Today I got +2.5% with a single entry. I may start to specialize in that pair. The focus on specific assets gives good results.

[sesaxricdonesy]

When I started this diary I had doubts whether to show the results or not. Now I see that it was the best thing to do. Not for others to learn (because few seriously read

[sesaxricdonesy]

Market flat all day long. Just a good entrance, but I let it pass by by being head on something else. Result: day without operation. I would have been frustrated before. Today I see it as part of the process. Consistency is not only monetary, but also mental.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Some ask me if I have indicators. I use only price action. Candles, levels and volume if available. The rest is provided by experience. FIFO does not need decorations. Only clarity, speed and cold blood.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Week closed with +7.1%. All operations of less than 10 minutes. All in control. Not a single impulse output. This works. I repeat because there are still those who doubt it. FIFO is life for those who understand the risk.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Today I jumped a stop at USDJPY that I should not have taken. Bad reading. I assumed and closed the platform. Result of the day: -1.2% The error is not to lose. The error is not to know why you lost. It is already analyzed, and tomorrow I return better.

[sesaxricdonesy]

I operated only once in EUR/CHF. Slowly, without force, but in the end closed in green. +0.6% and outside. It took me to keep my patience. This pair stresses me, I will not touch it again for a while. Not everything that moves is worth it.

[sesaxricdonesy]

I'm considering automating part of the system, just for execution. Signals will remain manual, but input and SL could go by script. I don't want to lose agility when the market accelerates. And everything that reduces human error adds up.

[sesaxricdonesy]

They keep asking me if this is replicable. Of course it is. But first you have to spend weeks seeing the market without operating, and few want to do it. Without observation there is no effective reaction. And in scalping, the reaction is everything.

[sesaxricdonesy]

Today the market was going strong but I was just out of the house. I didn�t operate. It hurt, but worse would have been to rush my mobile phone and make a mistake. FIFO is also to know when you�re not fit. The head off the chart doesn�t make good decisions.
