It took me quite a while to think of a title for this thread, but finally got there.

I want this to be a place where any like minded traders that follow different ways of trading don't have to post all over the place just to have a record or their trades. Personally I love the TDI and heiken ashi. That doesn't mean I stick strictly to a particular timeframe or template. I learn from different threads, and contrary to popular belief, it is not because I am looking for the "holy grail" but because if there is something out there that will help me earn more money then I am willing to learn it. If it helps, then I will take it on board, if not I forget about it.

I have learnt a lot from different traders, pips29, Likica, even old traders that no longer post here like eohater. All of them have shown me different ways but all of them have proven over time they are profitable. I have no time for "gurus" who have proven nothing to anyone but love to post anything and everything to get an audience. I don't want people like that in here, so if that is your agenda you will be stopped from posting.

I welcome any charts with any indicators you want to post, or any information that will benefit others, so this thread doesn't belong in the trading systems section because it won't be just one system. I have no time to be posting in a thread only for it to be ruined by those who like to follow people about purely to flex their ego, that won't be tolerated.

Hopefully we will have a mix of different kinds of traders and different charts, and I am looking forward to it getting going properly.

This is a trade I am currently in, I took it yesterday and being as I was feeling patient for a change, and it was positive swap, I am still in it. We'll see how it goes. My final tp is at 200.0 because that might produce a big bounce if it reaches there.

Looks like a great trade. Timing is good with GBP inflation figures coming in strong.

good timing on the trade but I struggled to find out which pair and on which tf. Anyway, congratulations on your new thread. It sure took a bit of time. You can expect me to make posts here

Entered short on gold M15. Had expected to wait for a bounce from the .618.
Maybe a bit early but lets see.

Nearly hit my new stop loss but just missed it, hopefully a double bottom.

Hit the stop loss in the end but I'm happy with 3R.
