My expectancy has dropped considerably because I'm chasing trades all over the place. Issues to correct: 1. Focus on daily chart 2. Avoid chasing counter trend trades 3. Predominantly use limit orders Waiting for the next 1000 point move on 3 ...

Capital gains tax is cheapest tax in Canada. 1/2 of your gain is not taxed and the remainder is taxed on progressive personal rates. If you are in the highest tax bracket you pay around 50% Consequently your tax on capital gains is 1/2 of 50% which ...

I've reverted back to undisciplined and stupid trades. Either way it is a very important experience because I realize how quickly good work can go down the drain by varying approaches. Ultimately I haven't effectively started stacking positions as ...

Butchered the anticipated short at 1.3350 level. I'm pretty annoyed with that. Life goes on. My stops were very tight and I couldn't re-enter when i wanted to

March is ending and I'm trying to get a position in for April. The following is the first short trade. I'm hoping to see a reversal on the daily candle chart respecting the down trending resistance line. I'm going with really cheap positions and ...

The most success I found in the market was striving for 500+ pips. 1,000 pip ranges happen quarterly on the eur/usd if you go back to 2005 (there are variances to the distribution but it is pretty stable). Personally I was never good at the day ...

well said sir. now that makes sense. there is a lot of price repetition if you analyze the ranges of monthly, weekly and daily candles. Ultimately this kind of analysis enables you to assess average, min and max reward to risk ratios that are ...

You're right there's always going to be retracements. I try to stick with daily, weekly and monthly candle analysis to determine a 1000 point + move. Once I have a trade established I just set it to break even and let it try to do 1000 points. I ...

You'll make money on a 1:1 Reward to risk system if your success rate per trade is greater than 50%. Position sizing will not change a negative expectancy as previously mentioned (you might think it does because the distribution of the successful ...

I like the simplicity of 2 variables, price and time. I like that value and price become synonymous. What I love is the use of statistical mathematics as a means of providing structure and boundary to formulate your own interpretation of such a free ...

Honestly whoever doubted this methodology is pretty ignorant. I needed this kind of tutelage in order to bring together a variety of information that I just couldn't put together. I've been trading FX for 3 years now without mediocre results, ...

Hey Graeme, I'm going to say that chart B is the 5 min and chart A is the weekly. I believe this is true because chart B has candles with much longer ranges and price changes direction much more frequently and quickly then chart A. Hope this makes ...

Thanks for going into the larger time frames. At this point its just a matter of practice and perseverance to perfect the knowledge that you have given us. I still find that you've left enough room to allow me to mold the techniques to suit my ...

Yep its unfortunate that it didn't pan out but I didn't lose much at all because of the move higher. I'm still unconvinced of the GBP/USD move higher until it breaks 1.5600, I still think there could be more chances to short. Let's se what happens

I totally see what you're doing. I'm ready to stack another GBP/USD position at 1.5552. Hopefully it pierces this with ease and doesn't see this price again for many weeks or months hopefully years. EUR/USD a little hesitant, I unfortunately only ...

Hi Graeme, I have seen vast improvement in my trading since I've started following your thread. The 5 min chart has been tremendous for entries and I have been limiting losses to virtually nothing. I want to continue participating in the market and ...

GBP/USD made a nice move downwards at 1.5550. First time I've managed to stack another 2 positions as the trend develops from 1.5600. I wish it wasn't 2 a.m in Toronto otherwise I'd stay up tracking the markets. I really think this plays a major ...

Hi Graeme, I was looking for a range around 1.2750 and the price to subsequently breakout out in whichever direction momentum presented itself. I chose this course of action at 1.2750 because it was friday's low and I wanted to test out how the ...

I managed to catch up to this thread and I have to say I'm not just learning from Graeme. I definitely wasn't creative enough to figure out how to apply Dr. Van Tharp's position sizing methodology of scaling into the market with the trend. Graeme I ...
