In the last three years that i have been trading Forex on my real account, i have had my fair share of success. I could pull out a few wins here and there. I had seen winning months in the past. however, never have i ever won so confidently like the last month. Previous wins were by sheer luck and it was just an easy market. Coz the following month, i would usually succumb to a huge loss which means my wins were just gimmicked. But this time around in February, i felt it was real and i was very confident. I had a sense of accomplishment as i thought…

Incredible positive week
Not sure where to start today. This is the first time ever in my forex career that i had 3 consecutive profitable week. I’m sure I’m on my way to finish this month on high. Suddenly i have this feelings i have got everything to become a pro forex trader. Feeling amazingly positive lately . All these time i thought i was technically sound on my chart but i think i was wrong. My price action analysis was wrong the entire time. I actually never understood the movement of price. The power of currency strongness and weakness. Now I’m getting it slowly but surely. The power of post analysis .…

Right frame of mind
Past couple of weeks in February has been good with me. I have ended rare positive weeks in a row. I believe that is because of my new approach to the market which is much more calculative than i have ever traded before. lets talk about it… Key to right frame of mind i have taken the strategy of being calm cool and collected. Big move in the market does not affect me much as it did in the past. I’m learning to stick to my plan and execute it. Before i would just take random trades really quick in line with the market move. Even though i’m still following…

10 honest review of my day trading forex in 2018
I know it’s a bit late for last years review but just wanted to share my experience. First thing first, i managed to lose a lot of pips last year. There were times when i was mentally drained and suffocated. There were minutes when i thought for a fraction of time, is forex trading for real ? Does people really make living out of it ? Is the whole forex thing just a hoax? I had all these confusions and doubts. But then when i reviewed my entire year of 2018, i realized as a new trader, it was not all that big loses. I gained ton of experience which…

Review of my Profitable trading week (working just 2 days)
This week enjoyed a profitable trading. Made a lot of tweak recently in my psychology and approach. How did i have a profitable trading? I will explain you exactly that. Read on … Started this week on Monday with fear in mind. Not sure why i was little bit scared to take trades. However, i was determined to follow my process rather than the outcome and i did exactly that. On Monday I was down -28 pips at one time but came out of hole with +28 pips. Big drop on stock market this week, especially DOW jones. So i was expecting a large move on forex market but that…

The journey has been very difficult thus far, lot…

I would check out the new BMW or Benz on web etc. But the next thing i know the market would crush me the…

I’m still here…
It’s been a while since i last blogged. Yes I’m still a forex trader but things have not moved the way i planned. Got smashed back and forth over the last few months but i guess these are all part of learning curve. Not sure how long this “learning” time will remain. So it’s been 3 years since I’m trying to become a professional forex trader. I eventually thought i would be successful in less than 2 years but that has not been the case. I’m still struggling in the market and haven’t found my winning formula yet. Good things I’m still stuck to my strategy which i believe is…

The problem is in my mind : psychology
I cannot stress enough how important it is to have positive psychology when it comes to training. Mindset is everything. I figured i’m lacking in this department. My strategy is a winner. My risk management is top notch. I’m not over trading then what is the problem? why i’m not consistently profiting yet ? After reading the book “trading in the zone”, i have found many answers. While reading the book i thought as if it was my story. Now i’m working on fixing my mindset problems. Simple action as walking out if it is not syncing on particular days were so hard for me. For example, if i’m approaching…
