{quote} Wow, you keep on finding the good trades mate, put the big one in the landing net to start the new season!
Morning H, Yeah that is a Biggy ,, I am not usually soooooooo brave L.O.L. to risk giving it all back, but the action north was strong and saying..... stay in Pips!! its going to the 10800 mmmm might not do that again though ha ha just lucky today. Been watching cable and for me the spreads are all over the place at this time, makes me uncomfortable, but also right now I am a bit giddy so no trading time for relaxing and a nice cuppa, Take care H SEE YOU LATER.

{quote} Good job hanging on to it for longer than I was prepared to, Pips. I am so tired that once it hesitated at all, I closed up shop, as I wasn't willing to hang around to nurse it to a re-entry and / or repair any damage that may have come about if it had reversed. My eyes were already half-shut, lol. Enjoy your walk!
GET TO BED LEM NOW haha haa zzzzzz are calling you Bud, I don't usually hold that long this is the Monster after all. Take care Bud enjoy the Zzzzzzzz

Okay, guys and gals,

Got my copy of "The Hour Between Dog and Wolf" and ready to start reading.

After some consultations with the more experienced traders here and moderators, there is now a special thread just for the book discussion.

https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...9#post11856759

Everyone here is welcome to join. If you read it, planning to read or reread, or just willing to share your experience, would be great to see you in that thread.

Look forward to some quality reading and discussing!

Cheers!
Buy low, sell high.

Another question. When a trader gets +5 in on direction, does it make sense to double the expectation in the opposite direction, i.e., wait for the price to break the opposite wait and get +10? Or is it a false end?

good question... before i contradict myself. I trade.
If you have a breakout and it is good ,STAY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.
No need to trade off the other end.
LIKE I ALWAYS SAY,,, THE LESS YOU TRADE THE LESS RISK TO LOSE. as in, if you do not trade you do not lose,

Fixing a bad trade is different.

If my calculations are correct, +20 though I stuck to the rules and got the daily 5 :-)

Try Range Bars - they are also not time based. You might use a 5 pip setting for forex and a 10 pip for Dax albeit Dax might be rather fast hence my use of one minute time charts. No trading this morning - just back after ordering new car with Mrs T. She approved the colour ( she'll kill me if she reads this)

Hey, forgive me the question, but how to make use of it other than saying something is a pin bar?

If you don't like pin bars then it's of no use. Sometimes you can miss these things.

I like it anyway.

Totally understand your point if it helps ... I actually look for pin bars a lot, so I guess it is kind of automatic already ...
