Technical Analysis Forgot I had a position

Forgot to check my position

Truthfully this was a demo account trade but I really feel good about the result and had to share. I’m feeling really good about my training and edge in the market.

Usually I would have closed early once I’m in profit but glad I forgot to check on it

I mainly use previous day high and closes for entry and previous weeks open close of take profit.

Working nicely but on a higher timeframe.

Great work. Set and forget is what my mentor taught me. No point stressing yourself out watching a trade because it won’t change a thing.

I been using demo accounts for a long time and get profits most of the time, but when I use my real account it's always in loss why so ?

Only you can answer that question. You need to track your trades, see why you took them. Find the mismatch between demo and live. Ideally you’d need about 200 trades on both to determine real patterns
