That one looks brave to me... can't see any divergence on my charts... went the right way though!!! Tom

Josh, I do it 2 ways... with trend? - Pull the trade if it doesn't go next bar CT? - often seen these almost not go or retrace like 50% for a couple of bars and then bang your in and they often go well... - I like these they seem to me to go and ...

I follow this simple method. bar + spread + entry should equal 2% of your account - this is then 1R double up this as your TP for a full 2R tp. Simple... others do different things and I don't think theres a right or wrong here... Just don't be ...

SC, I basically fix the TP at 2R unless... there is an obvious PPZ near by or other traditional 'problem areas' as defined by traditional J16 type trading. I will then use that as a TP instead but only if it still offers say 1.5R at least. I entered ...

Looks like we're all doing fairly well here folks!!! 5 on the trot for me! (1 BE which I include as winners lol!) did loose 3 on the trot before that but with the 2:1 R thats not a problem at all and a good profitable strategy!! Tom

Kodziro, Thats the one I was reffering to about Lindsayfs trade. CT 15 pin with Div Tom
- fat_tom replied Nov 3, 2009
Yep ok trade. but it was against a CT pin with div on the 15 min chart.... Do I reguarly check this sort of thing when placing trades? nah... let the numbers game play out... Tom

EURUSD — Ok last trade of the week... whos in with me? I'm off to the pub in 5 so lets see how it goes!! LOL have a good weekend all!!! Tom

100% correct IMO Tom
- fat_tom replied Oct 30, 2009
Totally agree Josh No need to over analyze everything... it was a trade that failed - simple. If you want to get a deeper level of understanding trades and patterns etc then there is no better place than over at J16 (I know you post there but this ...

I kinda share the same view... the trend wasn't established and hadn't broken out of the sideways rut its been in... I know the previous 20 or so bars where generally up but often I would want more for a well defined trend. I know the BB EMA etc say ...

Kojak, Nice one!!! missed it myself but good to see at least one of us got it!! Tom
- fat_tom replied Oct 30, 2009
BreakFast looser — USDJPY With trend trade (or so I thought at the time LOL!) nice setup but a stupid time to trade to be honest (around London open) oh well lets move on to the next trade. Tom

EURUSD short — Short off pin with good divergence. Pin was also a minor daily PPZ - that made the decision to trade this one for me. Messed up my entry a bit and missed 2 or so pips... still managed the 2R Tom
- fat_tom replied Oct 28, 2009
lindsayf, I'm finally getting to the point that I don't really care if a trade retraces or not... many do and come good and many do and go bad. Its never about 1 trade its about 100's.. my back testing shows an approximate 45% win rate with a 2:1R ...
