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 multip...

4 Restart

 Today is the day after I loss 1K USD. I'm starting with 223 USD. This was actually the profits I gained trading from Sept __ to Sept 30, 2023. I logged in around 6pm. Checked the news for DE30. Started putting in the trend lines, support and resistance lines. This time around, I was able to spot where the support was. It took a long before the candles started to increase. When I've finally seen an opportunity to buy. In 2 seconds, I managed to gain 1.03 at 0.01 volume. That's equivalent to 4 price units up. Just imagine, had I not made a mistake yesterday, this 4 units price increase would have been worth 36 USD. Uggggh! I'm so pissed. Now it'll take long for me to get back again. I opened a second position, and got 0.50. Ending the day with 1.53 profit. I've decided to just work with what I have now despite how long. My risk appetite has gone low, and I don't want to do a new deposit until I've gained much. By next month , I'll go ahead and add 100...

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...

2 No Trade

 Today was a busy day in the afternoon. I had 3 students one after the other from 6pm to 8pm. I thought I could still sneak in to trade but I didn't. I chose to skip to today, cos I don't want to make rash decisions and ruin my winning streak. I'll do it again tomorrow. Anyway, my gains yesterday were more than my target. 

Starting October Right

 Today is the official first day, I'm going to journal my daily trade journey. The goal is to reach my first 1M USD.  I'm using the XTB platform to trade. I started trading for real on September 11, 2023 with 1K USD. At the end of September, I managed to gain 221 USD. That's roughly 22% gain in 14 days.  20% of 1221 is 244 USD. Ideally, I should aim for this amount at the end of October, but I wanna keep it safe and just aim for 200 USD. In excess of that will be considered my bonus. This means that for this month my daily target should be a minimum of 10 USD. I started October with a volume of 0.34. The trend was going down. I patiently waited for the right position. My strategy was to sell, when M1 chart starts to move down, and close my position immediately. My plan went well because this was the fastest trade and the highest one ever. At 13 millisecond, I managed to gain 35.82 USD. Meaning I'm 2 days ahead of my goal. Volume Good start to October!    Volume:...

On being aware of the energy built

This morning tested my calmness, positive disposition, and generally my good vibes aura. After learning that everything here on earth is all about energy, I tried my really best to be aware of the energy I create, absorb and release. I guess there'll always be that moment when you just can't control yourself even if you want to be mindful and stay grounded. Somehow the yin and yang at work, keeping things balanced. As soon as I woke up, I checked my email and received some positive updates on something I'm working on. And just like that after breakfast, an argument with mom about, let's code it as Jetty, while sunbathing for vitamin D. Anyway Jetty consumes me and ruins my good vibes every time, the mere sight, even if I train my mind to let go and don't mind. I'm currently reading a handbook on Reiki. It's a form of healing using palm as energy is released. I want to be able to practice this on myself and to other people.

Best of 2018-2019

Image
My phone automatically created a short vid for me using the photos and videos saved on my phone for the year 2018-2019. It pretty much sums a very great year for me. I must say the Amazing View Friends was such a blessing to me. They made my last year at work so much meaningful, and happy. It was a tiring and stressful school year, but their presence at work balanced out everything. How could I forget the Bicol trip Momi and I had. The surf at Gubat, Sorsogon was a memorable one. I almost thought I was dying. Whewww that current really scared me to death! Then came the typhoon. So we were stranded at our hotel and had to cancel the island tour. We were still able to do the atv and thankfully was still able to see Mayon despite the fog.

I've been scouting for the best female local tatt artist months ago, cos I really want to have one as part of my bucket list. Been following 55tinta on instagram to see some tatt inspos. One time I saw a friend's tatt beautifully done. It was like watercolor art on her skin. She proudly mentioned her tatt artist, @curiouswiji. Quickly follower her on instagram, and yes I'm in love with her style. Yesterday, I saw Klar comment on tatt work, which I liked, and figured oh myyy she's friends with her! This is a step closer to finally getting my tatt done by her. Back story, her instagram profile says NO DM's please, so I feel like it will really take time before I can finally get a schedule with her. In addition, I subscribed to her news letter to get first dibs on her flash sheets but then most people are faster than me to reserve designs. So when I saw my friend comment on her instagram post, I took courage and posted a comment that I'm a fan! hahahah so funny bu...

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. ...

New Year Hair

Image
Jan 3, 2019 Vivere Salon Uptown, BGC Scheduled myself to a hair make over at Vivere Salon. It's my first time to try here. I forgot the name of my stylist thought. She's really good at doing her sales talk! Hahah. I just planned to get a haircut but then she was able to convince me to get my hair colored because there's free treatment after. Plus she convinced me to buy the volumizing hair product for my new short hair! This was my peg. I had a poll on instagram, and YES won. So it's a go for this short hair.  After the hair cut and color, momi and I had our early dinner at Uptown.

Resign

March 4, 2019 (Monday) Today I made an important decision. I've been on deep thought about it for months and I prayed to God incessantly to guide me through. I submitted my resignation letter. It's been a good 6 long years in this school and it's about time to get out of this comfort zone and explore a myriad of opportunities waiting for me. To be honest I'm scared of not having that constant income. Yes I've saved up money and prepared for this resignation, but sometimes there's just this side of me holding on to dear money. I know it's too greedy, and that we shouldn't make ourselves revolve around it. I'm actually learning to embrace uncertainty and face what's thrown at me at the moment. What's my plan?  Focus on reviewing for the IELTS. Target exam date will be on May. Whewww! Should prepare a timetable for this cos I can't afford to not get my target score. Be a full time student next semester. I'm currently on my las...

Thru These Tears

This hurts like hell But I keep telling myself It's gonna get better But it's taking forever I tried to go out But every time I leave the house Something reminds me Of what's now behind me Everyday I let go Just a little bit more In the end I'm gonna be alright But it might take a hundred sleepless nights To make the memories of you disappear But right now I can't see nothing through these tears Control my thoughts Convincing myself it's your loss I really mean it And I'm starting to believe it 'Cause everyday I let go Just a little bit more In the end I'm gonna be alright But it might take a hundred sleepless nights To make the memories of you disappear But right now I can't see nothing through these tears Out of sight but you're not out of my mind So it might take somebody else at night To make it feel like you were never here But right now I can't see nothing through...

Rainy Day Raket

Typhoon Ompong Saturday, 10am Today I had my first ever tutorial service via University Tutor. A month ago I signed up at this website to set up my account and to offer my tutoring service. I've had a couple of inquiries since then but nothing really pushed through because they find my rate too high. Anyway I stuck with it because I feel like I shouldn't lower down my value just so to earn. I had this inquiry from a client who directly asked for the rate she wanted, and I declined. Days later, she contacted me again and said that his son really needs a tutor, so she scheduled a tutorial with me this morning. For an hour I have him problems on bacterial growth. I think he got the hang of solving such problems and he'll definitely do just fine in his next exam. Hopefully they book another session with me! :)
