Currently I'm doing a One Up Trading Challenge and I'm sharing my process unfiltered here.
I've been a student of trading for a while now and at this point my trading style is very simple price action based trading, mostly what I've learned from Mack at PATS.
Right now what I'm certain of is that it is possible to trade consistently profitable and executing on an edge will get you ahead on the long run but there are days when I forget this and go mental. So most of my work at this point is to grow mentally and follow the plan unquestionably.
Best trading to you cheers

I'm using MetaTrader 5 demo. First I don't like the DOM. Didn't have the History tab on till afternoon, so it was hard to know where I was at. No alerts available for studies. So a loss doesn't surprise me on this brand new demo from AMP …
A pure price action journal. No trading of indicators or whatever - pure PA.
Honestly only for myself as I had some particular goals I wanted to become better at, but apparently beneficial to others as well.
Goals:
In realtime, jot down the the action I see while it's happening
In realtime, jot down the emotion I have when putting and pulling a trade
Become better at trading mechanically
Review my action, correct mistakes and feel more confident.
Set and track a small number of goals to work on for the next period
Make myself accountable
Also, I'm always happy to answers any questions in the journal or provide more explanations about what I'm seeing or doing.
I've been journaling here on FIO since June 2016 with a few extended breaks interspersed throughout. I trade spot forex and focus on EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, and USDCAD. My style is pure price action.
Page 1 of my journal with my introduction can be found at the link below and my recent restart this past June can be found here.
