5 Crash Down

 It's the second day since the day I lost my 1K. This time I was very careful and observed a good 3 hours. The candle was slightly higher the support area already, so I decided to buy. BUT nooo, just seconds later, the candle started to crash down so fast! It was the first time I saw the red candle move so fast on the H1 time frame. 

I panicked cos I don't wanna lose that much again. I was looking at my margin and was afraid I might get a margin call, and XTB closes my position again. I thought of depositing funds on my account. In fact a rashly transferred money from my GCash going to my Union Bank. I've already initiated an deposit on my XTB account and was ready to transfer 100USD. But then I stopped. I went back to my chart and quickly hit closed. That was my decision. In my mind, I cant lose more, just hit close. And boom, lost -56 USD. This is too frustrating, nerve-wracking and disappointing.

I calmed my heart down. looked at the chart again. I decided to open multiple positions to get back the 56USD loss. I did so little by little, until I stopped at -46 USD. 

Nick came home and of course he asked if I opened positon. Told him what happened. And apparently, I opened at the same exact position when I lost my 1K. To me it wasn't obvious when I opened.. but yea part from that there's some economic news that triggered the market. Anyways he sent me an image called double.. where the trend is that it will increase and get back to the position I opened. And so following his statement, I opened a position to buy and set a TP once it reaches a lil higher than when I initially opened. So yeah he's right, as expected it increased and went back to that price. So now I'm just down by 1.9 USD. 

But what's frustrating is, if I didn't open positon, I should have gained 50 USD today instead! Which will make me down to 950 loss. UGGGH I'M SO MAD!

It's discouraging really! But Nick's been a good support. And I'll keep going.

Sugar Rush

5am in the morning we arrive at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) parking lot. I was with Phoebe, James, Jedd and Jay, who drove us. There were already a lot of participants roaming. I got off the car and started securing my toe nails with band aid! Ayokong matanggalan ulit ng kuko. Dalawaang beses na kong natanggalan. By 5.15am we were with the rest of the UP MBS runners. Yeahay! It's my first ever 10k run. 5.30am the event began. RUN! The MBS pack run All of us running together. I couldn't have finished 10k without the MBS support. I really can't believe I made it! I'm so proud of myself. An hour and 15 minutes of running. Whew! Now we have a time to break weee. My legs and feet are still aching! But the whole experience was worth the pain. Here's to more runs and a healthy lifestyle! More Photos

3 1K LOSS

 Today I lost 1K USD. It's the initial amount I invested on XTB. I'm now left with 223 USD, which is the total profit I gained since the day I started trading for real (Sept __, 2023).  Here's what happened. I mistakenly opened a wrong position. I checked long frames and they seem to be down trend. I put a trend line on h1 frame and it's also going down with 3 candles going up. I figured those were negligible and will eventually go down. I went on to check m1 frame and as soon as it went down trend, I clicked red for sell. And less than few minutes, trend went up. Increasing my loss too. I couldn't look anymore so I logged out.  My strategy was to let it open overnight, thinking it will eventually go down to the set TP. Hours later, XTB automatically closed my position at -1023 loss. I couldn't believe it. 3 weeks worth of trading with consistent gains, now all gone in just few hours and one single mistake.  Ok I understand now that it will take forever to get b

Birthday Beach

Jan 28-29, 2019 Liwliwa, Zambales Beach trip on my birthday month. I was with Nelz. He was supposed to take his car, but then when we were in Trinoma, he realized his car was coding the next day. So I insisted that we go back to his condo and take my car instead. Otherwise we'll have to extend our stay in zambales but then I can't extend cos I have scheduled PRC renewal the next day. I think before lunch we arrived at our lodging. Rested for a while, had our lunch, checked out the beach, and then had a short siesta. And oh we had a movie set up in our room. He brought with him his portable projector and speaker. Short swim at the beach and of course beers! We were set to leave around 5 am the next day but then the gate was locked, we couldn't get out. We waited back in our room and slept for a while. We left past 6 am. Had our breakfast at extremely expresso in Subic. Good food as always. Past 1pm we arrived manila, just in time for my PRC license be renewed.
