Well, range killed my GU long at b/e +1. I moved my SL too soon out of fear that my entry is pretty late in the london session, and ofc it got hit. I was aiming for 20 pips, at the ATR projection which I recently found was pretty accurate and price sticks to it like glue most times.

I'm live trading now, by the way, with a bigger account than my training one. Sure was hard to pull the trigger today, especially with the markets being so shitty.

Going to enjoy the day and let trades ride.
Just came back to see Crude trade up over +120 pips. G/U trade hit SL -25 pips. Still up on the day.

Target hit... had I not been stopped out. I really gotta wait more before I move SL to b/e, lol.

Well at least a BE trade is better then a losing trade. There's always the next trade. Don't worry about the one's we miss.

It would have been a profitable trade and one that I had waited for all day. But since it wasn't 100% by the rules (I opened the position 30 minutes before london close), I was too scared to let it run if it isn't a freetrade. And when I saw price stalling I decided it would be stupid to let this one become a loser, so I moved my SL to b/e reaally early, like 6 pips into profit. Had I done things like I normally do(did), I would have ended up with 20 pips.

It was definitely a stupid thing to do, and I realize it is a rookie mistake, but like I said it was my first day back on live trading tomorrow will definitely be better.

{quote} It looks FXDD includes Sunday candles, while FXPro does not. When you see Monday charts, you see differences. (See today's EU for example).
I'm quite sure FXDD does not have a Sunday candle. Maybe I'm wrong about the pivots. I will check thanks. BTW I'm using FXDD-Malta server, which is allowed, even for United States residents LOL. FxPro doesn't seem to allow even demo acounts for United States residents.


**EDIT** I just checked my FXDD pivots vs ActionForex ( using the daily tab.) The FXDD EURUSD pivots look correct

Really?...are you sure? Many people use them and I would be surprised if there was no demo account available to USA residents. You may well be right, but it seems very strange...

Change the settings under the 'Inputs' tab to whatever you like.....

You have the correct window there....just set TimeFrame1.Period to what you want, and the same for the TimeFrame2.Period....and set TimeFrame.Auto to false

I didn't have much time to watch the markets today, but i took this one EUR/AUD short trade.

Reasons for entry(what i'm seeing):
M5 chart showing lower lows and lower highs.
M15 showing lower lows and lower highs.
Stochastic M5, M15 and M60 turning down and not oversold.
ASCtrend M5 to H1 red.
20+ pips to next pivot level.
Target next pivot.

Reasons against entry:
Entry in 'no mans land' (not taking off from pivot).
Signal candle not clear of MA5.


M5, M15:

The trade hit the TP, after a move against me. If i had been managing the trade myself, i could have been scared to exit at BE. I really need to practice on my exits!

Best regards

From my screens, I still see differences. The first pic is FXDD, and second one is FXPro: (15M EU)

Evening, RJ

I've been reading the book since yesterday and it's surely very useful. Thank you

Hi....I haven't read it all yet but what I read before I posted it seemed to be quite valuable. I asked Seneca Pilot if I could post it here, and he's fine with it, so enjoy.

I've posted a link on Post #1 to it as well

Once again Asian session offered few nice setups. And just like you told before after those movements stoch is in extreme zones. Well, let's see if London will be nice enough.
