Just my opinion but you might want to wait for a reversal signal on the daily, cable could keep going up and you be getting stopped out continuouly.

id be careful opening so many USD positions. they generally move in the same direction so you will win/lose all. this means you might be risking a lot of your capital on USD

Jaydog,

Think that you add the 5/13/62 H1 system or model to your trading log or in identifying the shorter-term trades v. daily vegas, or to help, e.g. gbp this morning at 6am eastern retracing to 1.8960 or 62 level before big move up...

Jay, as I said b4, I recommend that you use vegas daily but wait for the reversal candle on the gbpusd, as we have not see one as yet, and use the H1 5/13/62 EMA as on a shorter time frame, this morning with the gbp @1.8960 and higher, was still telling to long the currency v. shorting it... I suggest waiting for a reversal as well as a cross over from Nort to South to pinpoint entry level....

Jay, what you could also do to limit your losses is to scale in gradually. I too took a trade on cable and the aussie but with 1 lot only. I use the 1 lot as a "pawn" or "guinea pig" to test the waters first. Once I'm into 20-30 pips profit, I will add my 2nd and 3rd lots in and my 1st lot the stop gets moved to breakeven.

hey jaydog

those divergence trades on GBPUSD and AUDUSD did work, i.e. the divergence did lead to a dip in prices, but because of news or whatever reason they were only temporary. thats why i only took a small position and i set my stop to BE as soon as i could.

i made a small profit on AUD, and got breakeven on GBP.

setting to BE stinks sometimes, as you can often miss out on trades. but as i have learned, itsa lot better to miss a trade than to lose money. as vegas says, missed trades cost you opportunity, but there are an infinite # of opportunities. losing trades cost you capital, which is defintiely not infinite.

i dont know how much money you have in your account, but your losses should never be big. remember, you should never risk more than 2% in your account. i often risk .5%, 1%. sometimes 2% if its a good trade.

when you decide to enter a trade, pick a logical stopping point, i.e. the last swing high/low, or some resistance point. from then, calculate how many pips this potential loss would lead to. from then, get a position size so that it reflects at most 2% of your account.

now 2% seems crappy, but this doesnt mean that your gains can only be 2%...and even if you do get 2% that is a decent profit. id rather make 2% consistently than have huge swings in my account. the point of the 2% rule is so that you can have 150 consecutive losses and stil have 50% of your account left. if you risk 5-10% or more, you have significantly less buffer.

{table deleted. please repost as 600 wide max}



Ouch! .....

Lessons learned:

1. only have a max of %2- %5 of my equity in open positions at any given time.
2. trend trade - i will only be opening Tlatomi positions with the current trend.
3. scale in and out of trades even with fractions of lots
4. move up stops to secure profits

if you only use candles (and no indicators) i recommend not just looking for a reversal candle, but also looking for the thrust that vegas mentions by using the 1hr charts. often things can retrace to create a doji, hammer, etc. but w/o the thrust, its not as reliable by itself

this quick rejection of the bull run might be the "thrust" we are looking for...

I noticed that reversal candlestick too. Take a look at the AUD/USD pair as well. It's also forming a possible spinning top.
