dear Earnforex forum member

as a trader , i already trade currencies for 1-2years and i think i still stuck in this level.
a deposit only trader level.

off course sometimes i requested withdrawal of my profit, but if i do some calculations , my deposited / and lost money, still bigger than my withdrawal.

inspired by my friend who turn $1000 into $12000 in one year with Alpari (\may their soul rest in peace) and he told me if you wanna survive in this business, write your own journal, analyze your foult,risk amount that you can afford to lose.

so here i am. opened a journal to analyze my trade.

because i familiar with MT4 and can't risk too much money, i decided to trade with Tickmill which is suitable for me.

about my trading system.

in short i use combination of EMA 12,50,100, 260 ,500 and some price actions

will upadate myfxbook tomorrow, and i hope i can succesfully compouding and achieve my 1st $1000

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

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

Sell EURGBP
god, I hate this Inverted Cup and handle Pattern.



Example of Cup and handle Pattern in WTI/CL

wti-h4-tickmill-ltd.png

looking this WTI, makes me wanna open a trade, because my broker uses fixed 1 lot , and 1 lot = 0.01$ / pips which means i trade WTI with cent account

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
nzdchf-h1-tickmill-ltd.png

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"
