My name is Mike and I will be posting a video journal of my trading adventures.

I have been trading price action for a little over a year and have had periods of success and failure. I have studied Al Brook's work as well as Mack's. I have been trading futures the whole time but have hovered around break even(starting balance) the whole time.

One of my problems is account size. My money management rules say that I can risk only 2% account size per trade and this was becoming a problem trading the ES. I would use a tight stop to abide by my money management rule and get killed with a thousand paper cuts. I knew for a long time that this was causing me to cherry pick trades and be overly cautious so last week I switched to spot forex.

I have been making video journals for a while now and they have been a great help. I have been posting them on youtube and its been great to have a sense of accountability. If I do something stupid I will share it and hopefully learn from it instead of putting it in the back of my mind.
