Looking for 1.3450 to break to look at longs, otherwise will be short setups on my radar this week.

Little update, the account has been growing well over the summer and autumn and now in to winter. Currently I am +78.8% and this has been largely through being much more disciplined in taking profits and cutting losers with a physical stop. I have ...

Started the day looking for sells and took the sell at 15602 when the early morning push failed to make new highs. Got lucky on the exit as originally wanted 50pips but got 60 with the manual entry with a 20 pip stop. Price is currently retracing so ...

Each to their own but for me price is moved by the central banks and we can see the set-ups occur over past data so I do believe there is a benefit to technical analysis and that is why traders edge and money management / position size is the crux ...

I agree

Two trades today with a 20pip loss and then a winner with 127pips which I exited manually at weekly support and resistance level and moved the stop to 120pips on second half which was the old high. The initial trade was taken as the old low 15465 ...

Didnt get a chance to trade yesterday but had a position on from the night before that was stopped out during the evening with a trailing stop after take half off earlier. Shame as it ran a lot afterwards but again a small gain. I have also sold ...

Its not that trading sucks, its just MY trading that sucks hopefully not forever though I still think there are opportunities everywhere.

Yes levels and flow still offer opportunites although I wont be looking at sky

Thats a good story and so many truths in it. It does come down to the simple things in life but as always easier said than done but a great printout nonetheless. On the trading in August though I have to say I do still trade and see opportunities ...

Holding out is where I want to get to, as this will increase the profitability with less stress. The last few weeks have been a lot better from a relaxed mindset point of view as I have traded less and had good results. Thanks for your post

Yes my plans are to build a growing trading account that will contribute to paying my mortgage earlier than it has to run to help retire earlier and to spend more time with family. If it went really well I would like to be able to help others in ...

Again I do appreciate your comments and which is why taking advice on a forum such as this is to be taken in context and with a pinch of salt as some have delusional ideas and trading strategies, that said there are also some good advice given. For ...

I believe the market is rigged but that also gives opportunity if you are expecting price reversals at old highs and lows. I do believe that making money is possible in this market if risk and position size are managed accordingly.

Hey SheldonFX as price traded through the 15493 level I had marked I sold the re-test of this level. The next level also lined up with a previous low and also a major support and resistance which is why I exited here expecting a bounce. The short ...

Yes trailing stops being used this week as a well as hard stops - trading the levels this morning got me just over 80 pips although I missed first entry early session.

Some good advice in there thanks. No trading since last week as been on a city break but looking to get going again this week.

Sold 15700 this morning after price ran old highs at 15715. Didnt take entry here due to news and so waiting for the spike to occur and sold the break of the 15min candle with a 20pip stop loss and 40 pip take profit.

Hi rolandw - my old highs and lows are my support and resistance levels. I get what you are saying as I have been reducing my take profit levels as you will see over the previous posts and although I am leaving pips behind I am growing my account ...

Slicktick - not sure why you took offence here. I am using the advice I am being offered and taking the good and bad. Your comment was simply answered by me based on you stating I should set a stop loss on the 4hr chart which I believed I answered ...
