trade journal so far:
The first large drawdown (in Equity) was a result of holding euro with high leverage, alongside the larger bearish trend and being surprised by a large bullish correction, which came back in my favor so I closed in profit. Close Call.

Also I have been busy at my job and trading poorly or not at all in some cases.
Trying to balance effective trading and living an active and healthy life.
It seems I really need to follow the market closely or my "fore-radar" becomes very inaccurate very quickly.
I guess after athletes train for the Olympics, the hard part becomes staying at their peak performance.

My latest large drawdown, which totally ruined my dd score, was long in spot silver "XAG/USD" pair and lo and behold the dollar rallies and the commodities markets suffer (except oil which is a story unto itself...)
so instead of holding longer and watching negative numbers grow, I finally severed it like a surgeon does gangrene, but it's hard when you have to cut off say 25% of yourself to save the other 75%. Logical, but painful if you personify the numbers in your account as "yours" and emotionally attach yourself to it.

That's why I am detaching my emotions from my trading, and mitigating myself of mundane automatic emotions and instincts. Don't get my wrong it's still a process. You don't have to be a Vulcan to trade forex, You just have to stay out of your own way

salutations and happy trading, and I hope my fx-book helps other people as much as it has me.
