Genesis - continuation

I've nailed a huge bunch of green pips on that mini-crash since yesterday
...but I should have let it run for more ...I could have doubled account
Good pip hunting, guys!

Good for you Tudor EU owes me about 15 pips from yesterday and I'm gonna make her pay up

She finally paid.

Short scalps this morning. White line at the top is Daily R1.

About an hour before USD ADP Farm Payroll. Woke up late...again... and missed London Open. But +27 pips so far this morning, so now I'll probably wait till after the news.

Finished for today. +61 pips

nc one bobby2, i'm not open position since yesterday. no correction @h1 = no open

Yeah, I know. I finally woke up in time for London, and since Frankie open I'm not seeing anything yet. Looks like this bull run on EU may end soon, but not quite yet.

2 EU long scalp entries on stoch movement +22 pips May not be finished yet, but I hit my target. No complaints.

Went long @ 1.16908. If MTF stoch follows the M5 stoch up were in good shape if not, it might be worth 10 pips.

If it breaks 1.17.....yipee!! If not, .....oh well.

Wound up taking 10. So far NOT a reversal, so far it's a pullback.

My weekly pip target is 200 pips. Right now I'm 52 pips from my target. My prime goal is to hit that target with what I would call sustainable consistency. I'll accept 150 pips per week adg. 30 / day), but my goal is 200. It looks doable this week. I used to keep track of account statistics, but I became too focused on the stats and it affected my trading decisions, like an athlete watching the scoreboard instead of doing his job and playing the game. But right now I'd guess I probably hit the 130 mark 65-70 percent of the time, with 200 pips being more like 30-40 percent. I'm working on raising that percentage. If I can do that I'll be very happy. 3 30 pipdays and 2 60 pip days would give tou 210, with some of those pips paying the commission, I think it's doable. Not super-easy, but doable.

Some traders watching this thread, and I know you're out there, might be thinking, "Bobby missed out on about 20 pips total on 2 of those trades he took today. 2 or 3 times price blew right past those round number targets of his. If he'd not exited so early, he'd be up 60 pips instead of 40." And, of course you'd be correct. One of the lessons I've learned (I hope ) , not only from trading but life in general, being greedy is bad. I won't expound on that thought, we all know what it means. In the original Genesis thread we learned 2 important mindsets, 1) we aim for SOME / MOST of the trend, not ALL from top to bottom, and 2) we are always looking at the PROBABILITY of what MAY occur on our charts. The probability of price hitting the NEXT round number, S&R area, or pivot line is usually higher than price hitting the one after it. It may, and today it did it 3 or 4 times. But in the long run the probability is lower. I don't have a clue when price is going to turn, or some joker with tons of cash and an algorithm decides to have a bit of fun, or one of our esteemed statesmen from around the world decides they crave attention, etc........

My job is to find and keep pips and manage my account responsibly. That's it. I'm not competing with anyone. I am simply searching for opportunities that have a high probability of producing SOME profit. Yes I have a target. Yes I want lots and lots of pips. What I want and what I get are often 2 different things. But I am always thankful for what I do manage to get and keep, and rarely complain about what might have been. I have a healthy respect for "The Law of Diminishing Returns" and "Murphy's Law" both of which are ever present in the markets.

I sometimes post my charts and trades so others can see what is possible, plus nobody else posts here and it's positive reinforcement for me. Keeps me honest so to speak. Are there better traders than me? You bet your sweet bippy there are are. But I'm not half-bad if I say so myself. I trade for me alone. I'm not looking to be famous or seeking attention, and the only score I keep is between me and the IRS.

It all adds up

nc one. i got stoploss selling GU a few minutes ago hahaha

Thanks rahadian. Your SL hit beause of news? 'Cause GU is about 25 pips short from this hourly open. For now it appears to be just a pullback.
