well done Lem for catching the GU ride. I got in just as I left work, locked the +5 and didn't want to take the risk while I was driving home so I locked another +4.
Should have trusted the system a got the ride down. Such is life!

Ah, it's always easy to beat yourself up after the fact - in reality, you did the right thing for the circumstances you were in. I am in the lucky position of trading full time, so I get how frustrating it must be for those who are having to work around other jobs.

I almost missed the whole thing as it overlapped my DAX plays but as I said, I'll always watch effected pairs after a Bank Holiday and so I made the extra effort to juggle.

Neither can I, prayer may help but I am skeptical. There are no easy paths in trading other than practice, patience, and perseverance. Nor can anyone show you the way, it is a lot of trial and error until you find something that is in line with your own mood swings, meaning the emotional side of trading. Look at the charts on this method and make some demo trades. The rules are simple, there are no guarantees but it is fairly consistent. Good luck (now there is one I hang my hat on often)

Lol I grasp you.(Prayer Hey, like really ). lol, well then i get all you Hal7 but to someone new to this industry what are your tip offs, I mean things to watch out before placing some trade on certain platform? The main key objects, you can give a hint from your perspectives. Tools you use and apply to your daily trades and staff then i can make notes from them and see if I can get along with this.

Thanks

No, I'm not that good. I post my winners, I also lose trades believe it or not. Today has been pretty typical and good only took one loss on the GJ. I am currently AU +19, CA +22, GU +15, JY +2. I am always looking to latch on to the monster runner as I did last week it was that same GJ that ran to +134 before I stopped out. That is dependent on being in the right place at the right time, and generally triggered by big news or just strong sentiment.

Short JY +5 locked On this chart I am showing something Kaz and I have been looking at lately. When a potential trade shows up on the 1 hr I switch to the 1m to monitor crosses of the trigger line. This set up started from last hour and the JY has been going nowhere fast today. Here it crossed 6 times before I executed the trade (vertical line) Finally it moved on down to get my +5 and the first profit step. No correlation has been detected yet in these crosses and none may. But just another idea to look at in the process.

Read Hals post again. Read from post one. templates are at top of page under paper clip. Read what others do and practice daily. After a few months you should get an idea of how others trade by making many DEMO trades of your own. When you have practiced for a few months come back and ask more questions. Understand that by copying Hal or anyone else will not make you a success. Life would be easy if it was but even Hal has losses, key is managing those losses. So work hard and practice, read this thread several times and demo. some more. There are no short cuts - success is down to hard work and practice. Put some trades up for criticism after you have demo traded for a while. Good luck.

LarTLC, very well stated by Turnip15 above. Pretty much says it. I don't have any specific tips other than what you see me doing here. That is generally following the basic rules which are as stated simple as 1-2-3. And learning and picking things up through observation and trial and error. I have been doing that for about a year and a half on this method. I do other trading with different approaches, this is just one.

Sure, but that's a pretty big if. If only I never lost pips too, I would probably be a billionaire.
