Using army analogy, deployed only infantry soldiers to the battlefield for close range fighting. Rested the tank regiment as no intelligence report was received.

EUR/JPY Battle Zone : 111.13 - 112.35
Total trades : 130

Day 6 : + 10%

Covered all outstanding EUR/JPY shorts. Executing new trades to test out tactic, using small trade sizes.

Day 5 : + 2%

Closed some EUR/JPY shorts. About 1k units of outstanding shorts to be covered back. Figuring out if there's any tactic that works for both range bound and trending markets.

Day 4 : + 5%

No breakthrough yet. Still thinking of modifications to tactic.

Day 3 : + 4%

Existing tactic still has 1 weakness. Trying to think of enhancements, if any. 1 alternative is to trade only after Europe opens for trading.

Day 2 : + 4%

Generally stick to tactical strategies throughout the day. Traded small lot sizes since expected market to be quiet. Treated this as practice session to get rid of old habits detrimental to trading and establish desirable ones.

Day 1 : + 3%

Not following rules again. Climb up 10%, only to slide back after I deviated away from the commissioned tactic. Ended the day up by only 3%. This seem to happen again and again. Try again during the next trading session. Another confirmation that the tactic has a high chance of success. Would be a waste to fail by deviating without giving this tactic an opportunity to run its full course.

Started trading with new tactic

First day trading with new tactic. Convinced that this is the only methodology with the highest probability of winning. Results to be updated soon.
