44th Trading Week (30th – 31st of October, 2023 trade journal)

My reason for sharing my trade journal is to encourage traders to also keep one for two major reasons:

  1. Track weekly trading performance.
  2. Build a better psychology, which will sharpen your trading intuition

Both can only be done when you keep a comprehensive journal, and review it every week.

 

MONDAY 30/10/2023

CAD/JPY (8 pm)

 

Analysis: My reason for selling was shared on our weekly analysis

 

 

TUESDAY 31/10/2023

AUD/USD (7.15 am)

Analysis: My reason for selling is multiple rejections of price at a key resistance zone

 

AUD/USD Update (6 pm)

Analysis: Closed trade using trailing SL (+21 pips)

 

CAD/JPY Update (6.30 pm)

Analysis: I closed this trade manually with a -125 pips loss

 

 

Trade activity summary for the week

DATE PAIRS BUY/SELL PIPS MADE/LOST
MON (30/10/2023) CAD/JPY SELL  – 125 pips
TUE (31/10/2023) AUD/USD SELL  + 21 pips
TOTAL  – 104 pips

 

In conclusion:

The only regret I have trading the last two days of the month is:

Managing the CAD/JPY trade. On Tuesday Morning, I was clearly in profits and I should have shifted SL to breakeven, since I planned on selling AUD/USD, but I did not. So this made me lose the CAD/JPY trade

I followed my trading rules on the AUD/USD, and I exited when I had to, so I closed with a win.

Overall, I closed this last few days of the month with a small loss (which could have been averted)

In conclusion:

The month of October tested not just my discipline but also my money management skills.

Overall, I had:

  • 3 losing weeks and
  • 2 winning weeks

Ordinarily, it’s supposed to be a losing month for me, but on my major accounts (which I trade every single week), its a winning month. On my minor accounts (which I do not trade every week), I closed with less than -1%  or breakeven for the month

The reason for this is because, as a trader, you do not know which week will be profitable or not. So accounts I pick randomly to trade could suffer the most in a struggling month, while accounts I manage every week will most likely thrive

I will share some of my major accounts for educational purposes:
