Forex Trading Journal

I am going to start an online Forex Trading Journal that will be a public log of every trade I make. There are a couple of reasons I am going to start posting my trades here on the Winners Edge Trading blog. First reason is because I want to follow my own advice in an article I wrote last week about forex discipline. If I am going to write about doing it, I want do to it and live it. So this will be my trading accountability structure. All of you will be my accountability partners, and I want every one who reads this blog to help out. You guys can post your trades her as well and we can get some group feedback. I will write all the entry points as well as stop loss, and take profit target. I will also include my pre-trade analysis as to way I take each trade.

The other reason I am going to post my trades is because I have been getting tons of emails about my trades and strategies. In addition to helping me in my trading I believe this will help everybody else as well. To keep my entries to a manageable number I will only post swing trades with a daily, 4hr, or 1 hr entry candles.

I am always writing about keeping a Forex Trading Journal so now I will teach you how to keep one as well by following this journal. The journal will start tomorrow because it is the first of the month. It is easier to show someone something then it is to tell someone about it. This way I will be showing you how to keep a journal. Please join me and participate in this Forex trading journal because as always your participation is what is going to make this a success. Winners Edge Trading would not be here if it was not for this great community. If you like this idea or have any other ideas about how I should proceed please include it the comments below.

    If you are serious about trading successfully, you need to be keeping a forex trading journal. I remember a long time ago when I first got started trading, I was just doing so so until the day when I decided to start keeping a trade journal.

    Hi Casey that sounds like a great idea and I wish you all the best with your trading. I started an online forex journal for simlar reasons as yourself, my main driver being the incentive to become a more disciplined trader, and also to help others who are new or struggling to make money.

    On-line Journal, Great Idea. I usually try to keep the info in my head or on scratch notes but that hasn't worked out. Even though it takes some time to disect every trade positive/negative it can only help in the long run. To all the critics, how many of you out there are willing to put your failed trades out for everyone to see and pick apart. I can pick a failed trade and tell you why it went wrong, hindsight. Don't get me wrong, I value the positive and negative responses, thats how I am learning.
    Casey, keep up the great works!!!

    Please accept my thanks and gratitude Casey for such a wonderful idea. Well, Trading Forex need
    lot of discipline, common sense and patience. You emailed to me two golden opportunities of trade.
    One EUR/GBP and 2nd GBP/CHF and I trade both of them. I thankyou vecularlyry much for such good opportinities of profitable trade and to tell you the truth I made good profit on both above mentioned
    trades. Now on particularly 2nd trade GBP/CHF you advised to sell and very clearly you also mentioned to place a stoploss order at 100 pips. So before entering the trade I was thinking why
    you advised for such a big 100 pips away stop order but soon I got the answer when I watched closely the pair on daily chart. As I noted already two tops on previous two days, it become easy for
    me to analyze that it might make a 3rd top and thats why on precaution you advised to create stop order at 100 pips on north, and I really appreciated your great sense of trade. I did accordingly and I win the trade and learnt a great lesson. In a nutshell, such kind of trading will be a pleasant experience
    and great guidelines for the beginners like me.
    Please keep up the good work. Your style of trading is unprecedented and unmatched.
    Best Regards
    Sayed Haider

    Great idea Casey, cant wait .

  • KoP

    Excellent idea Casey. I think most people don't do this because takes too much time and effort. Will you be puting it on an Excel spreadsheet so we can download it and study it? Will you also include a post trade analysis to tell us how the trade can be improved or point out what went wrong etc?

    Thanks,
    Charles
