I named this journal Zombie Zone because of the mindset I enter into to trade. Like a zombie, I am hungry and focused. I trade emotionless and methodical.
I have hopped around to different strategies and burned up accounts in the process. The past 60 days I have been focused on learning and sticking with one strategy. Finally I am seeing consistent success. I'm still learning, but I have overcome my mental blocks and have dedicated myself to reaching realistic trading goals.

My strategy is on the 5 minute chart. I use 3 indicators. An EMA set at 6, RSI set at 2, and the Williams %R set at 14. The RSI and %R are overlapping each other in the same window. I watch for the %R to start to cross the -50 line for a potential trade set up. Next I look for the current candle to be closing across the other side of the 6 EMA. Then I look for S/R levels. I make sure the RSI is above the %R for a buy trade, and below the %R foe a sell trade. Last, I usually wait for the final minute of a candle close to enter the trade. I like to have just under 6 minutes, so that the option expires at the close of the next candle.
I will start posting screen shots and commentary on Tuesday. I enjoy posting in a journal. I find it keeps me in a "business" type mindset. I am held accountable to the world to make sensible trades.

I was all fired up to start off this journal with winning trades. Well, the market had other plans. I realize losses are part of the process, but I just wasn't ready for them today. Like an annoying relative, they came a knocking today. After 9 consecutive trades without a OTM, these 2 losses were bound to hit me. I just took a deep breath, watched Bloomberg for 30 seconds, and got back at it. I found an ITM to end my session before I headed off to work. It's not always easy to push your emotions aside. That is why it is vital to read a trading book, or watch a trading psychology video on youtube to keep your mind in the right state, at least 10 mins of positive input everyday.
Ok, now for the trades...

Jul 23, 06:54:28 AUD/JPY 92.3580 Lower/Put 92.3980 Jul 23, 07:00:00 $10.00 81% $18.10 OTM / LOST

This one was ITM until the very last minute of the candle close. And the candle after that continued down in my predicted direction, as if to taunt me.

Sorry, I just figured out how to post an image here. It is a little different from my other forum.
