PM for some reason when I load my template FF security scan just keeps scanning, so it won't load. setting are all in the doc.
Katfx thanks for dropping in. I use to keep stats when I started (as you do for most strats you try) but pretty soon stopped and just went for it as it works well and suits me. In this thread I like to shout out about what i'm looking at before I get in but this is not always possible. As the markets move; new 'fake and break' position are made. Above all i'm here to trade for myself, not to impress people. I've show a few of my statement in this thread and many pic's of the entries. I'm not doing it anymore as it's very time consuming and like i said earlier, i'm not here to impress. this journal is for me however i'm always happy to see people dropping in.
I check the charts when I can. I'm busy with work all day monday so check early AM and PM, Tues and Wed I tend to work evening so I'm around trading these days, Thurdays and Fridays I trade afternoons and evenings. Ideally you want to check every 4hr candle, but it's not necessary. A lot of the trades that fail for minor news (i call them 'quick fails' when your up, then down) I tend to place a pending order in the same place as the last order. CJ is an example of this. I have just had a sell pending order at 95.20 activated, same place as before. I know from the daily where I need to see a fake or break. So to answer your question I do both pending and reaction trades.
