Hey Cam, Think you need to ease up a bit mate! Every time I look at this forum you are reprimanding someone! Please dont take this the wrong way. I understand your intentions, but at the end of the day we don't want to scare people off. I have found ...

The Edge — Hi Guys, Thanks for positive feedback. I understand I could do the assignment alongside the 20 pip challenge. However, I really want to focus on sharpening up my entries first. I dont see it as falling behind as such, the market ...

Flying Buddahs — Hi Guys, For what its worth I prefer to play the wicks on flying buddahs. So I would not take a f.b. straight off but zoom in and try and get in on the wick of the next candle. This is an interesting debate because it shows ...

Same — Hi RD Watkins, I feel I could have written the above myself. I agree whole heartedly. My entries are crap too, worse than yours looking at the stats. Everything improves with time though. Cheers Ben

Hi Pippdaddy, I understand what you are saying! I was mainly trading flying buddahs/breakouts on 5 min. You are right there were not that many opportunity's. At least 50% of my losses were from stacking attempts. I know as a professional trader I ...

Thanks Graeme, I wonder if some of the doom mongers who came on here and insinuated that Graeme was a fraud and here for financial gain would come forward and apologise? Graeme has picked a currency which looked to me as though it was in a range and ...

Morning Graeme, Could I please ask a couple of questions. 1, Is there a reason you prefer bodies to wicks for resistance? I know its all relative but i'm interested if there is an advantage to using bodies? 2, What would happen next week if price ...

Hi T.S., I cant say it would have made much difference with the Yen. You could have made short term profit on both sides but most legs in either direction would be wiped out. I like the hindsight idea because it gives you areas to focus on and ...

I Agree, Its easy to loose sight of the 4hr when trading the 5 minute. Its a steep learning curve. The losses I have incurred are probably more than if I had just traded the 4hr with hard stop loss. I need to up skill my entries considerably to take ...
