My thoughts for the week... — This week was a big improvement for me psychologically. I felt more reactionary to market conditions versus trying to predict. I continue to use a variety methods for entry and exit and seem to have a hard time ...

Here's the latest close between the two EMAs on the 1H. I'm short at 3604 with TP at 3550. SL will be determined upon the close of the current 1H bar.

This was another profitable week, but not by much. I felt myself trying to prematurely predict the market turn, thus not taking and managing the trades appropriately. I also held on to winning positions longer than normal trying to catch the drop, ...

Hey Fitness, I lurk around in this thread from time to time and saw your post. I also have Dealbook 360 through GFT, and use the free Dealbook app on my iPhone. It has an alarm that works fairly well. Not sure if this is an option for you, but ...

I hear you, it's becoming more apparent to me as I go, but haven't really consciously integrated it into my trading, would love to learn more.

Great Sig Warwick, it's going onto the top of my notes! "Follow the stops....thats where profits reside. | Forget fundamentals, technicals and everything else - the market is driven by stop-loss orders."

Here's the only larger TF opportunity today, I had other positions opened so didn't participate in this, but posting it for the log.

Set my stop just above the top of the bar, and am currently out for -13.

I'm giving the 15M TF a little test run here. We'll see what happens. SL will be set at the close of the current bar. No TP yet.

Only one signal today on the 1H about an hour ago, unfortunately I wasn't around to take it, as they are few and far between, but good to have it on record as this progresses.

TP reached and position closed for +12.

SL is now set just below the close of the hourly bar. TP remains the same.

Yes, it's definitely nothing new, but I'm hoping to flush out the quirks and add it as one of my tools, as none of the other entry methods I am using are EMA based. I like the variety.

EU long — Entered long at the close of the 1H within the EMAs. SL will be set at the close of the following bar if my target profit is not hit. TP is currently set to +12.

Hey Cubby, I totally agree with your comment here. I like your system, and I'm sure you'll keep bringing in the pips!

Although I haven't explored this much on the lower TFs, I thought this 15M EU chart was noteworthy. Nice reversals after the close in the middle of the EMAs in both instances.

My broker time is GMT +8.

Here's the second occurrance of the week on the 4H EU. This bar closed while I was sleeping, so I missed this one.

Hello Roundrock, I set the TP to 10 pips because that was the closest resistance level at the minor trend line drawn on the previous chart. The stop loss would have been placed after the current bar was closed, just below it. But since the TP was ...

Out very quickly for +10 just before it tapped the trend line and briefly reversed.
