It is a long journey but once you get it right nobody can take that knowledge away. My ex boss used to say 'when you can wake up in the morning and know you can make $ then you're there.' Plus you keep your job. Confidence/self belief big part of it.

Yeah, I think he was up late Sold the BO here under 1.3155 because it could not follow through above 1.3170. Maybe a retest of the level cluster around 1.3130, but I need a quick drop here to make it work.


Edit: Got out with a small loss here. It was quite strange, got to around + 20 with the target in sight and big levels ahead, but neve reached and turned around in noman's land. I still wonder how to work around this. S&F is usually fine for the RR, but it can be improved on if you have the skills in place.
Fix up, trade sharp ...

Try using the trailing profit on MT4 worst you would have go + 15. There is no perfect solution.

Yeah, because you could have it going back to your entry and then it goes. Or you trail and you get stopped + 15 and it goes, but you risked a bit much for it ... as you said, no perfection. In general I think letting it ride to your sl or tp works, but on choppy days you might end up side lined at best.

I missed a decent PP setup today. I find it the most reliable for me, the other plays work too, especially the range over night thing. Just not so easy with the other plays intraday. If not very, very picky, I get stopped if looking for too much. I think I know now why you usually just look for around 15. I remember when I had the homerun mentality as a new trader, it is pretty much of a problem if you cannot get rid of it ...

23 unread posts! Woo-Hoo! Everyone's been busy

Sorry, gang. I did post that I wouldn't be around early doors - and that's how it's going to be for the foreseeable future every Wednesday - but back for the remainder and will begin to check what's been going on.

Not seen any charts yet as I want to read those ''23 unread posts'' first. I'll get onto that and chart up in a bit.

Snap, Soccerfan, Sell trade hit S.L. Buy trade took points. I am not used to setting Pending Orders, something I have never done, I have always entered a trade live and then Exited Live, got, "A BIT" confused with Buy Limit Buy Stop Sell Limit Sell Stop . I need to have a closer look at it. Any way came out good somehow L.O.L.

UJ is getting hammered. Got 42 so far, but I think this can even go further.

Edit: TP reached for +60, that was fast.

Yeah, as Claudia said, just use Buy Stop and Sell Stop orders.

Buy Stop sets where you want to buy from, Sell Stop where you want to sell from.

Buy and Sell Limits are for when you want to get an entry once (if) price goes back to the level you want in at.
