Hey guys,

Have been around reading the forums for quite some time. I've really learnt much from cliqforex (possibly too much), and now I think I have to try my best to give back to the community.

I'm not saying that by following my trades now, you will have the ability to generate income. I'm still not a profitable trader, and maybe that is why I'm starting a journal . From what I have read all these while, one of the main reasons for traders to achieve success is that they keep a detailed trading log. This is what I want to attain here - posting each and every transaction, be it within or against my system, winning or losing. In this way, I will have the ability to restrain myself from moving trigger-happy understanding that I have the community (and myself) into account to. I have to admit that I'm a scalper and that I have a tendency to enter trades based on every single little resistance/support I see. I know that it isn't healthy at all, and it may be the primary reason why I'm not making money yet.

I hope that this diary will probably be an inspiration for many; considering someone who starts with a mere $30 on FXCM micro, and growing his account for $50,000. I am not claiming that I will not be making any residue. In fact, if I'm doing well and have extra money, I will always be depositing more funds to cultivate my account. Is this achievable? I don't know as of now, but it doesn't hurt trying, does it?

Another reason to Begin this diary is I Was inspired by Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. For some of you who may not be familiar with his work, this is the exact portion of the book that inspired me to begin this diary. It's none other than the 6 definite, practical steps for wealth and success.

First. Fix in your mind the precise amount of money that you
desire. It's not sufficient only to say”I want plenty of money.”
Be definite as to the amount. (there's a plogical reason behind
definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter).

Second. Determine exactly what you plan to give in
yield for the price that you desire. (There is no such reality as
”something for nothing.)

Third. Establish a definite date when you would like to possess
the money that you desire.

Fourth. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire,
and begin at once, whether you are prepared or not, to put this egy
into action.

Fifth. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of
money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its
acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the
money, and describe clearly the egy through which you intend
to collect it.

Sixth. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once
before retiring at night, and once after arising at the
morning. AS YOU READ--SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE
YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.

I'm a huge fan of Napoleon Hill and self-improvement. Therefore, if I'm unable to contribute concerning trading for now, I will be posting snippets of quotes or passages that I find useful in my trading to share with the community.
