Here is my trading journal for the month of July - and maybe beyond.
I trade FX and mostly do it on the 4 hour chart using mostly NinjaTrader. I also have an EA that I run on an MT4 account. For charting I will primarily use TradingView, which, in my opinion, is a really great and easy to use online charting platform. I just use the free version of it so that was no sales pitch.
I will show the live results of my EA but will only do a demo account for the 4 hour trading.
My primary "secret sauce" is extremely small trade sizes...like laughably small....like, probably every single person here will tell me to increase my trading size. But I don't and I won't. :)
There is one primary reason for that: Using small trade sizes makes trading ridiculously easy and stress free; and I still make a very healthy monthly return.
I promise, that is the only thing that I do that separates me from so many other traders. Sure, I have 2 strategies that I employ but they are not that exciting. They are literally just strategies that are no better or worse than any of the other 10,000 wonderful or horrible strategies on the internet.
Here is the myfxbook link to see the results of my smaller account traded through mt4. This was started in March and runs primarily off of an automated trading system: MSP System by jsmith133 | Myfxbook ( I am happy to discuss how it works with people. Much of the information on the myfxbook is set to private - but I will tell you that it was started with $1,500. In the "Quick Post Summary" you will find the running graph, but if you would like to see more of the strategy data, then just click the link that I gave you.
I live in Germany and I teach corporate English classes. Therefore I am not always able to trade manually. This is one of the reasons I trade on the 4 hour chart.
Feel free to talk to me and ask me questions about what I am doing. Feel free to give me your suggestions; but I probably will not follow them - but you can say them anyway. :) I am learning to be more open about what it is that I do, so I will work to share with you whatever it is that you want to know.....but, I promise you, there is nothing more that you need to know than simply keeping trading sizes small!
