LAST HOURS
Hello to every community members,
Since it is already the last few hours of the contest, I decided to stop trading as the risk of going down is much higher than the reward of going up in position. I see other contestants are still jockeying for a higher position. I am so happy and excited to end this contest as it is my first time to finish in the top 30 in my 2 years as a member here, I place 4th right now. I really learn a lot in this current contest as I mostly follow my strategy. I am now lo…

LAST DAY
Hi to everyone,
With only one trading left this coming Monday, I am so please with my performance as I am in the 4th place right now. Tomorrow will be a crucial day and any thing can happen. Many will surely want to climb a higher place and will trade recklessly. But I do not want to pressure myself and open a position that is not within my strategy. Based on my observation, Monday has a low volatility, so my take profit will be in less pips than in my usual trade of 100+ pips take profit.

WEEKLY WRAP UP
Hello to all my fellow community members,
This is the final week of the contest with only one trading left this coming Monday. As I review my trades this past week, all of my closed 5 trades had been a lost because I changed my strategy. Another lesson for me that I should try unproven strategy only in demo account, not in any contest and especially not in live account. We really need to stick to the strategy that works for us even though it needs Patience to look for the best trading set up and…

CAD REMAINS BULLISH
Hello my fellow community member,
CAD GDP 0.6% beats the forecast of 0.2%, USDCAD moves 100+ pips since the data released. My order will be sell USDCAD at 1.2465 (about 38% retracement from the hour of released (1.2527) to the low price (1.2418)), SL at 1.2515 (50 pips), TP at 1.2365 (100 pips) for a 1:2 risk:reward ratio.
I never chase a price, I always wait for retracement, Patience and Discipline are the two qualities I need to master.

USD REBOUNDS
Hi to all community members,
USD CB Consumer Confidence released result is 121.1 against the 116.5 forecast that is why the USD rebounds. My order is buy USDCAD at 125.21, which has just been filled, SL is at 124.95 (26 pips), TP at 125.73 (52 pips), a 1:2 risk:reward. I choose USDCAD because of all the major currency, i think the pair is the most oversold based on daily stochastic which is below 20. This is only a short term trade, if by tomorrow my TP did not meet, I will adjust my SL and TP.
