Ijak's Trading Log, Try to get my 1st $1000 Withdraw

i will start a trading journal , so i will had my trade recorded in order to learn something from it,

will deposit $50 into my Tickmill account and challnge my self how long it will last. and try to trade with tight stop loss using m15-h1

my trading plan with this money

1. only trade on major, even theoritically all i can trade every instrument that tickmill provided. forex, index, Cfds, metals. but i will stick with majors only.

2.try to put tight stoploss and take profit with healty risk reward ratio

I trading strategy itself combining few strategies, using indicator like EMAs with 12,50,100.,260. and 500 periodes.

2. try to understand the fundamental aspects of the currency pairs,

well , Let us made some market review for a moment before opened a trade. W

What happened in this week which is the majority of USD rivals stronger than the USD , which means that the long-term weakening of the USD in sight

This is due to weaker US economic data than anticipated.

PMI is below expectations,

ADP which is above forecast, Forecast 195k, actual 205K

The unemployment rate rose 8k

the NFP today, market expectations about jobs created and opened : 189k ,

and if the data released under 180k can harm USD fundamentally.

With the reluctance of the Fed to raise interest rates, the ECB QE plan in March 2016, and the BOJ is set negative interest rates, today's NFP data is crucial as a guide to where the next market direction next.

Technical analysis : , based on Tickmill weekly chart, the USDJPY this week , weakened as much as 500.0 pips.

Head and Shoudler has been formed, and if the NFP data this week could make close USDJPY weekly chart with a bearish engulfing pattern, then the USDJPY weakness for the medium-long term was inevitable with the first target at 113.00 area

Recommendation :

USDJPY Bearish,

risk in the area of ​​121.75 -122.00

Target: 113.00, 110.00, and 109.00

"Risk Brexit will increasingly dictate the performance of pounds while driving other underlying such expectations BoE policy will only be the event extra. Time referendum is right yet to be decided but it seems likely to be faster after the draft proposal released this week for" a new resolution for the United Kingdom in the European Union " . Draft and they will be discussed in more detail at a special meeting of the European Council on 18 and February 19.

Got 3 pips spreads with EURNZD.

busy all days, and just updated my journal after i finished all my business thing

opened Sell GBPJPY dan Sell GBPUSD

 

 

My reason sell both pairs are they had big engulfing on MA cross (look at magenta rectangle)

and i am positive , when i post issue about Brexit, it may happen in near future.

 

Closed with profit

and after some drawdowns with my account in 8 days, finally i can banking some nice profit into my wallet

now i am Breakeven and in profit

Requested $45 WD +$45 at 20.30 GMT+7

Recieved 20.42 in same day.

my target : to WD $1000 from $50

is it possible?dunno, let us see, how long i can maintain my trading account. and consistantly banking some profits into my wallet

i starts my day with opened trades for several pairs

Sell USDCHF @ 0.98823 SL @ 0.99073 TP @0.98190

Sell Stop USDCHF @ 0.98573 SL @ 0.98823 TP @ 0.98190

Sell stop EURAUD @ 1.56813 SL @ 1.57448 TP @ 1.54314

Reason :

 

Sell USDCHF

1. I saw Tower pattern ,

2.confirmed by engulfing at right leg

3.left leg already formed 2 waves

 

 

 

My reason why i opened Sell AUDCAD is simple , Because ad Daily Timeframe , my EMA will cross, and engulfing it self alreay formed. i just need today confirmation

 

For EUAUD , i use it as hedge instrument against USDCHF and AUDCAD

not bad. got good spreads when i entered this 3 trades

My fokus today is CADJPY, to find out the best price to buy CADJPY

And if we compare USDCAD and CADJPY , why i buy CADJPY because few days ago, USDCAD had strong bearish trend ,

and tonight we have crude oil inventories news and as far as i know , OIL and CAD have strong correlation

Yesterday i made +$55 profit and request for Withdrawal

,

 

Request @ 18:12

 

http://s17.postimg.org/le30k0shr/WDrequest.png

 

Processed @ 21:12 GMT+7

 

 

 

Buy CADJPY

Chart CADJPY

 

Because CADJPY spreads are low, i can trade this pair

Reason buy CADJPY : Strong Support area

 

got 1 pip spreads

 

before GBP News, i tried to catch the trend

 

Got Drawdown in my ECN Pro Account

but no problem. OverAll i am still in profit T_T

[spoiler=EURJPY]

Sell EURJPY

Reason : Price / buyer, are not too dominant and can't maintain their power above EMA 12

SL Scalping

TP longterm

Still hold my Sell EURJPY, move EURJPY stoploss into trailing stop mode

Sell EURGBP , because at M5 , candle broke out the EMA 12,and met major resistance. put 10.0 pips stoploss,

got good spreads on EURGBP, 0.6-0.7 pips for EURGBP , not bad for cross pair

today we have EURO Zone news, perhaps this news could help my trade

Finally i got Margin Call

Well redeposit my account and looking for signals with another trading instrument provided by my Broker,and i decided to trade the indices

After tried their demo to find out how much margin used for any indices

i decided to trade the US500 index (SPX500 index)

Reason :

1.M pattern

2.Engulfing

3.Their spreads looks lower than another index (40 pips, i think its like 4 pips in forex)

Sell 1 @ 1917.20

sell 2 @1906.20

Trailing Stop loss @ 1911.20

My worst scenario : i think am only reach BEP

I hope NZDUSD can break the upper triangle formed in daily timeframe.

opened NZDUSD trades, got tight spreads, with tight pair movement

-_-

today I have a lot of work to do and only now I have time to update my journal

And today , we only have one important USD news

today i do some multiple entries

Buy HK50 (Hanseng )

Reasojn : engulfing on m15

Indices trading have different sensation, although the spreads are small, but we can quickly experience a plus or minus in one single moves

Closed profit +40$

and after that i bought GBPUSD and sold EURGBP

Got tight spread , and closed by my trailing stop

And i now i try another trading instruments provide by Tickmill, which is JPY225 (Nikkei)and EURJPY

Reason : engulfing on MA

Sell EURGBP

god, I hate this Inverted Cup and handle Pattern.

Example of Cup and handle Pattern in WTI/CL

Try To buy NZDCHF

Finaly i am back trading forex, because indices trading is very painful.

For smallest lot in my broker, smallest used margin is in JP225 , it is around $14-$15. not to mention, index have very wild movement.

need bigger balance sigh

and looks like they applied 1:100 leverage in all indices instrument

Finally got margin called

and based on FXBlue statement

My total deposit/WD in Tickmill via skrill or fasapay are :

Deposit : $178.37

WD : $221.34

WD - Deposit = $42,97

so with my total net WD , i can say, i am still losing my money.

But no problem.

I cosider this as my learning experience .

and i learned in hard way, in the next trades, i better do not touch indices , because if i trade with minimum amount i better trade WTI because even WTI used margin is relatively big because it is using 1:100 leverage, but WTI smallest lot is cent pips . so it is better for money management

This journal will be my documentary repot so i can study my mistakes and become a better trader in near futures

and like arnold said in terminator.

" I'll be back"

The End of Part 1

Deposit Small amount before NFP

and taking advantages from this volatile news .

Sell USDCHF and CADCHF because in TF H1 already formed continue pattern.

so lets hoping its valid
