@trigger88990,belekas

I must admit, the smexyness of your trades are formidable.

Seems like I will have to bring out the big guns.

Question:
How can you have a trade with zero draw-down?

Answer:
When you've hit a top.



I enter two contracts, and take one off at 1:1 RR, and so this is really a free trade.

Keep ém coming!

Regards,
xXTrizzleXx

EDIT:
Putting an end to this story...I know I should not have exited the trade so early, but before I could remove my TP...it got hit..better that than my SL!

Unhealthy obsession with picking tops and bottoms? 4 pips either away!

I've been having a problem recently with my orders. Look at the sell limit that price reverses at by literally one pipette! This problem has been a repeat offender. It's a conspiracy I tell you!

Havent had a smexy trade for a while. This one taken after a series of breakeven trades. Euro session today was crap!

Took position off at what i thought to be a 'value' area. Looks to be right since price is ranging at that level.

Very nice Hilmy

These are my attempts...My best entries ever...exits is what I am struggling with...
I made a mistake,did not have an exit plan,but no worres,learning every day...
I manage to take some 30pips off partial profit on both of them that's all.The other halfs were stoped out.
The last trade is still going...
But I'll admit,I had 2 lossers betwen those, I am trying to learn orderflow stuff

Every pip earned I take as a gift. Exited at the top and pocketed 80 pips on this AUD/USD long. Probably will take out the yearly high, but I ain't greedy. Every day offers endless opportunities for those who can trade.)

This is one fucking difficult smexy trade for me. But it worked out..here are the reasons why:

1. It was a short at 4190. It was 10 pips off a 4200. That's a psychological level and most times price will hit it. But over 4 years of trading experience prepares me mentally to short this with conviction
2. Price drop, but a huge bullish spike occurred and looked like it could've taken me out. But knowing that there's two sides of a story, I stuck with the bears'. I decided that the bulls are the ones who's wrong and are going to get fucked with their stops almost nearing getting hit.
3. When i saw a 'pinbar' on the 5 min, i knew that will bring fresh 'techies' meat in. So i held my short further just to hit my TP. Then price reversed..

How i percieved people's actions behind 'price' is how i made this trade work.

Hehe...where your experiance told you to stay in...I freaked out and closed... (first short at 85).Then I saw I made a mistake and shorted again at 75 and managed to not freak out again on the second spike up.
Took half profit and let half ride. Sl at BE.
Hope to see 1.4050...I am closing there.

Ahhh a little sunday night zinger... pretty good according to my estimations. Should have left this perhaps, but I don't have time to watch it, and this baby put some % in the account as it is.

anyone else catch it?
