Tonight was pretty active. could not know results of the day up to now cause been in long trade. ended with 0 pips today. 3 losers and 2 winners plus 1 break even. last trade was risking 15 pips got 30. I thought I would lose this one. missed my stop by 1 pip. losers were from 15 to 18 pips and winners 20 and 30 pips.
Got up too early, could not sleep. probably watched too much Whitney Houston yesterday.

a couple of pips up. Pity. Bought oil at 100.70 on pull back with only 15 pips risk but moved stop too early. it got triggered and then price went away to my target. never came back. lost one won one , so nothing today too. gotta go in few minutes so the day is over.

finally, got some 25 pips. although I did not like the fact that I took trade during Nymex. won't happen again.
must stick to London time. risk is far smaller.

well, got stuck in trade while leaving hence have not posted results up to now. Made 4 trades today. 2 BE trades. firstly shorted BE. Then long had +20 pips but BE too. Again longed closed -8 pips and went long again at 101.62 with 25 pips stop targeting 102.13 for 50 pips. slightly below previous highs of the past weeks. was sure will come back to loser but actually my target got hit. +42 pips today. Trading was pretty nasty tonight while I was trading. very narrow range of 30-35 pips . all my long were at same price of 101.62. all of them this was my entry. I was sure they were going to run price to 102.00 area just was not sure if they would not kill my stop first as this thing happens. just watch yesterday bringing price to 110.24 are and then breaking yesterday's high today.

+20 pips net today. 3 losers 2 winners. went long before leaving. hit take profit at 101.75 recently before I came back. I do not feel well as every day I was leaving with opened position and overall negative pips count for a day. I do not have enough time to trade. Big issue and I have to trade like this till the end of June. Just 2 1/2 - 3 hours every day. it sucks. this is the only reason I do not connect to myfxbook. will reconnect in 4 months +.
stops being missed by few pips. I am just lucky this week.
week is up.

so far my average winner is 1.5 of my average loser and profit factor 3.31, sharpe is +0.25. Dream of getting above 4 on Sharpe seems distant.
hit rate 58%.

i am off tomorrow so will have normal trading schedule.
oil opened with large gap up. I am looking for pull back. The level is pretty damn obvious.

+25 pips. risked 15 pips. shorted after few failures to go higher than 106.40. target was 30 pips but price stuck at 106.11 so took profit 5 pips away from take profit. it might break but it also might be accumulation for move up cause low of previous wave was 106.00.had too many BE trades last couple of days.

checking it now in hindsight the trade had more potential. ultimately hit 4:1R: and not once. Hence support has formed at 105.60-105.65

no, it is slow. very slow. 2 days range was very narrow and I got no more than 1:1 R:R on my trades and then BE stops , losses and winners but nothing more than that. only today managed to make some pips.

I am down on pips -20-25 today but up on %. The lack of time makes me impatient. shorted way too early and lost 2 trades before making it up with bigger short,, but closed only 1/3 of the risk cause support formed. reversed again long with small size and made nice R:R and I am calling it a day. Not very happy. My big short actually stop would not be hit and now it is making already more than 1:1 and closing on my target.
I need to stick to only smallest size in March. If I do as I want to do in March, I will double risk. Need to reduce number of trades and look only for the best set ups. even if it means no trading during my time.
Overall up this week and month is very much up. But I am not happy. Need to work on patience which is hard with time available.
