At last I have some courage to start a journal for Gold Trading. I am in Forex Trading since 2006 and honestly I have stopped and restarted trading for a few times. Even though I am quite well versed with forex trading, but trading itself requires more than knowledge. Everytime I thought I had the winning strategy, but in the end I gave it all back to the market.

I start learning harder, and this journal is about my journey to motivate myself not to give up.

So far what I have done:

1. Sign up with forex broker that offers low spread on Gold (XAUUSD), it gives me as low as 10pips spread. It is important also to have high leverage (1:2000).
2. Money management. It is all about fund preservation. I love to start it small ($30) and make it all the way up. So in the beginning the risk will be higher because I don't have enough margin. The journal is to turn the small capital into a bigger one then preserve it.

This is so far my result:

Day 1: Deposited $30.65, Profit $8.52, Balance $39.17

I will post the result on a daily basis until I reach the goal of $10k capital.

I am trading price action. Basically using the naked chart and draw support and resistance lines. Trendline and candlestick formation also help.

This is my personal journey, posting the screenshots itself took me sometimes to do it. I will be happy if it is appreciated. :)
 
Can I give you $3000 to trade? That way you can make me $1000000 based on your calculation

I did not do any calculation. It is just my goal at the end of this journey. I hope this journal can help me to be a proficient trader.
 
Hey…
Let me follow your journey.
It’s interesting to see daily profits since I was big looser on forex market.

I read your post that you use price action based on the supres line, and putting the limit order indicates that you use reversal technique, am I correct?

Could you tell me what timeframe you use?
And how to close the order? Are you using SL and TP?

I’m very fond of to the forex market and looking forward to see the best result.

Yes, I usually put limit order near the support or resistance line.

No worries, I lost many times in forex but I believe with determination and correct mindset, coupled with the right knowledge, we all can do it.

SL and PT are important. Everything is decided before I enter a position.

My method in general:

1. Find out what is the major trend using daily and H4 chart.

2. Find important candle stick formation around support and resistance level.

3. Setup few limit orders in case the price moves too much in other direction before it comes back to our direction.

4. Observe shorter timeframe in case there is a short term trend reversal.

5. Bag the profit prematurely if it is open for quite sometimes because it could be no more valid for the current market.

I wish all of us can benefit from this journey.
 
Day 6: Profit $43.07, Balance $120.68 (293% gain from the initial deposit of $30.65)

Yesterday was a good day. I adjusted my money management a little bit.
 
Day 7: Profit -$23.65, Balance $97.03

Yesterday was a tough day. I am stopped multiple times only by few pips and the price went back to my direction.

Overall not good for me. Hopefully today is a better day.
 
Day 8: Profit -$4.16, Balance $92.87

The loss is due to over trading at my side. At first I have secured $39 profit. Later on I opened two more batch of trade one after another to gain more. That was when it went bad.

Lesson learnt: After every loss or gain, take a break, come back tomorrow.
