Trading Journal 16/01/18

My aim with this blog is to be completely transparent about my trading journey so that others can see the REAL trading and investing experience of a beginner.

Why am I investing and trading? Because I want to take full control over my financial destiny without having to work to a ripe old age before I can explore this world, relying on a pension that may not even exist!

Horrible day on crypto’s as the market cap drops below $6b taking most crypto’s down. Tronix continues its downward momentum, respecting the downward trend line. It did find support around the 557 and 464 satoshi levels. Each time it was squeezed before breaking down further. Currently, TRX sits below 440 satoshi’s and forming a bullish pin bar on the 1hrly chart. Could this be the bottom for Tronix?

NEO was holding my portfolio up, holding its own against the other main coins and is still sitting nicely in the green. However, Cardanao has also plummeted with the market too and this has brought my portfolio down to a gut-wrenching -28%

I’ve been down this low before in forex trading and it’s not felt like as much as an issue as with crypto’s. But there’s high expectations in crypto’s and it’s highly fluctuating game. January is a tough month for most anyway and often there’s a di in markets. These are testing times a riches favour the bold!
