trigger shy better than underwater ,, it will come bud
Its got to be difficult when your at work too ,, understandable ,, we will have to find a way to improvise a little,,,the m30 chart with ya marking it out is about your best tool atm ,, you did fine getting underwater ,, we just have to utilize it the other way

yeh, i cant quite quit the day job yet , so unfortunately im stuck with just looking at my phone throughout the day (with some levels marked while im on the tube in the mornings). Would like to maybe place some pending orders on my levels (in case i miss them while im at work), but then i need to see if the levels "hold or fold", so a bit dangerous to just plant trades on levels!

They can be placed with stps ,,, will have to figure something out ,,,,one with a take profit and one with a trailing stp so it gets to even sooner ,,will have to play around with it some

JP my man, this should help you out a little:

https://help.fxcm.com/uk/Platforms/M...s-with-MT4.htm

When the day begins before you set off for work, do your necessary charting and have your levels marked then set the alert to ping your phone once price reaches. You can have your favourite indicators or whatnot slapped on mt4 mmobile, so when the time comes you can just take a quick peek at your phone to see if the level is still valid and if it is you can manually take the trade or set a limit order with a short expiry if your alert was set to buzz just before price reaches
You hesitate, you masturbate.

yeh mate....i know u gotta lose to learn in this business! As painful as this mistake was.....i can promise u now....there wont be a trade without a sl ever again!!

what makes it even worse, is the whole world have been basking in pnl over the past week.....could ahve gone short 100 times and been racking it up....but coz of my longs.....i didnt............so as u have said many times.......if i had just cut them earlier, i could have got on the gravey train down......probably missed it now.....gotta make sure i get the train back up...whenever that is!

I've been following this thread for a little while and have learned a lot from all of you. Thanks!

I am a bit surprised no one pointed out that EU is at the weekly S1 already---it looks to be holding on the intraday charts for the first test, but I'll keep my eye on it. I would expect to get a harder flush down before any significant retrace, and my daily ABCD target looks to be about 1.1234 with the obvious last support 20 below that. Maybe tomorrow?

Tht weekly S1 is a big one to keep an eye on ,, especially since below last weekly low those are two of the the eur favorites to hit
Be a little leary if back above 1290 and 1303 ish today

excellent tgts ,, big camirrilli pivot around last weekly low area and this weeks open ,,back above tht a trip towards the open not uncommon ,,but till above something tht holds last quarters low will loom larger and larger

Thanks for the warning. I'm already done for the day...I've been burned too many times on the NY afternoon, so generally try to keep away from trading then.
