Hi Folks.

Earlier this year I got on a losing streak with my Forex trades that was both expensive and frustrating in ways I cannot even begin to describe.  It seems like I had what we call the Reverse-Midas Touch, where every trade I take turns to, well, I can't find the poop emoji in this email program, so let's leave it at that.

This might come as a shock to you, but the fact is, we all lose trades from time to time.  How we deal with those losses is what separates the consistent winning traders from the rest.

My solution to fix this problem was to go back to the very beginning and I started journaling my losing trades.  I wanted to see if there was one or more bad habits I'd fallen back into that was costing me money.

It didn't take long for me to figure out that every time I tried to anticipate both price action and indicator signals (and jump in a few pips early) I would get burned when price turned around and went the other way and left me hanging.

Just a few minutes a day spent journaling my losing trades straightened me out and got me back on track and I am on track for a strong finish at the end of the year. 

I made journaling a center-point in my first book (which came out 10 years ago...how time flies!) and it is just as important today as it was 10 years ago.

So I have put together something I think will do you an incredible amount of good if you choose to use it, and at the same time help me help out someone else.

As you might recall, the last couple of years I've been a part of a group of people who "adopt" an orphan for Christmas.  Our goal is to give that child the best possible Christmas we can under the circumstances.

I explain everything on this webpage:  http://fxscalpingacademy.com/journaling 

I hope this find you well and that you and yours have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Holiday season and a very prosperous New Year.
