Matt's Forex Day Trading Journal

[AussieMatt]

I have been around the forums here and there and thought it might be worth starting a thread/journal here.

As a background I trade full-time (FX) based in Melbourne and up until recently have primarily swing traded the London/US sessions. 2 weeks ago I decided to move in the direction of day trading asia and first half of London for several reasons.

It made more sense for me to journal trades/ideas/stats over here as I will be active in this session. Its still early days, currently still upping size a little each week.

Any one else trading Asia or FX intraday in general feel free to jump in and share ideas etc.

2 trades so far today, 2 wins waiting for cash rate to get out of the way.

attached 2 weeks of day trading stats will update stats maybe weekly provided I can. will post trades etc maybe some charts. This will all depend on my energy levels as I have an extensive journal elsewhere I will also be updating.

Matt.

If this thread is in the wrong spot feel free to move.

Did you have to make any adjustments to your strategy apart from going intra-day because of the low volume during the Asia session? I find it a frustrating session to trade but I'm still learning.
