Gee, golly, did you see how long it took for this trade GBPUSD to exit drawdown. It was only this morning after a long week of drawdown, and a even longer weekend of backtesting, the results are in! We set our stop loss, and allow the market to work. I have officially earned my very first $100 ever on the markets. According to my trading journal, my account is now up 58.24% in the month of April. Although trading this pair was not the smartest decision of mine. Learning how to trade has been the best decision I have ever made. Once I started taking this seriously, I am starting to witness the small results start to show: from learning price action, risk management, and fundamental analysis. There are so many elements into a being a professional day trader, and I am here for it. The biggest lesson I learned from this trade, was not to be emotional in the drawdown. If I cannot afford to lose $100, I cannot handle earning $100. A second lesson I have learned is how to simply read candlestick patterns. Third and final lesson of the day, was how to identify a divergence, these lessons, are exactly WHY I entered, and held the trade as long as I did, but from now on, I will stick to my trading plan, get in, and get out!
