DislikedSteve: great thread and congrats on the success. I too tried the intraday and with full-time job + family, it cuts into quality of life a bit.. i had actually planned on using a system based on parabolic SAR (very similar to yours but stops are placed where the dots are and entries dictated exclusively by the dots).. i actually decided that i like your system better. the only discretion i am putting in is that i will probably monitor lots of pairs and take positions when i think something looks like a trend, reversal, or predictable range.. i like the candlestick analysis element also..
i made my first trades today, based on your system:
SHORT EU
LONG UJ
i will probably keep trades small in # and ramp up. i have a modest amount of capital to work with exclusively for forex.. if i am successful, i will pull in more money...
thanks for taking the time to post your experiences.. it is truly inspiring.Ignored
I see you've started your own journal - time for you to take up the mantle I think
Kind Regards
Steve
