{quote} Wow - nice mate! Well done!
At the end of the day your up tho not underwater the stp thing your gonna have to practice some ,, you got the direction right after the low ,,,,, problem arises when the direction is wrong ,, then you get back to doing wht you always do as the mkt does what it always does ,, gonna be a little bit of time needed ,,very easy to get biased and get to fight ing something then you know what that leads to ,,good job today tho man ,, its a start ,,make your decisions on what the chart is telling you not what you think

Yeh mate - kinda felt like 7 out of 7 winners (in terms of direction), just moving my stop to BE killed me.....should i wait longer than 8 pips to move to BE? - i just thought everyone says “move to BE pronto”!

otherwise my new rule - always follow the trend on h1 (or minimum m30).....never go against looking for countertrend....even if something has gone up 600pips....just keep buying / selling pullbacks....and my stp will save me if it dives the other way. At least then im never stuck opposite the trend (sounds obvious i know!)

this is what I saw and traded on GU: a early morning reversal (shorted the pin bar), covered at the previous day low (double my risk) and double bottom on the 240m, when prices went below the PDL I placed a buy stop order 5 pips above the PDL with a SL 1 pip below the low......DB trade also with EU.

So rather frustrating day for me......placed 5 trades over the day at the levels of support / resist i have....5 times trades moved in my direction (good start!)....5 times moved my sl to BE to negate risk (once 8 pips up).....5 times stopped out by like 3-10 points, before it accelerated away in my direction!! !! Man - give a dog an f-ing bone!! so my last trade i didnt move my sl to BE and exactly the same routine as above, but as the sl wasnt moved i didnt get stopped out when it dipped below entry....i finally made 10pips! Finally!...
Having computer issues, and I didn't want to be caught in the live market with a black screen. So, this was done in demo. Still something to be learned..........

I took the CE short for a small profit. I exited 1/3 of the position at pt 1. The Market moved against me and I got out of the other 2/3. A few minutes later, I took another a FVB short.

As far as I'm concerned, your ability to enter a trade, get stopped out, and then re-enter in the same direction speaks volume about your chances of being a successful trader.

Lol,, depends on how far away the next level is and if its poke thru ,,busier than shit here ,, missed the 1st poke up but if you had your M30 marked right ,,you would have seen where to take a crack by then ,, not an easy day to go by wht london did because they did both ,,put in a new low then bought it right back up but once above open then a carck at the high of the day was coming ,,then it was just a long day ,,hard to do as its happening I know ,, you just want to careful and not get duped into working the wrong way for peanuts,, once back above open tho probing for next level up is common

I also going to very busy soon with other stuff, I will be trading only the daily and the 240m and maybe just the LO for intraday.....

Anyway in my experience you can also day trade with the daily........more screen time for me does not necessary mean more profits.......

The obvious is never obvious till after the fact ,, just sometimes the chart dont have the room yet to show the obvious until it is obvious ,,you just have to believe it will be ,,why ? because tht is what they always do

sure....but really money is made by sitting tight... also getting it right in the middle of price is nearly impossible in my own opinion, here there is a lot of noice.... getting 3 to 4 losing trade in session is very much a possibility...here our ego gets involved and when he comes to town is not funny......

Long term can also mean one day or a week nowadays, in my experience trades lasting a couple of days are the best (because I have not enough guts ).

Take the second leg down, which lasted only 9 days, made 2600 pips, that leg was a .786 retracement of the previous leg, lets say we risked 3% on 50 pips risk (small risk).....you do the mathst mate...that is big money......impossible by scalping unless we risk a lot.....Anyway only my perception.

"After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: it never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! It is no trick at all to be right on the market. I've known many traders who were right at exactly the right time, and began buying or selling stocks when prices were at the very level that should show the greatest profit. And their experience invariably matched mine. That is, they made no real money out of it. Traders who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn. But it is only after a stock operator has firmly grasped this that he can make the big money."Jesse Lauriston Livermore

Ole Jessie was one hell of a trader ,,,, modern day medicine may have helped a bit with his illness and having some of tht more under control Im sure there would have been a few things different ,,, one 25 or 30 pip trade a day out does everything you see on a eur chart right now as far as average per day if you caught the exact top and bottom of every move ,, ,,may take 2 trades ,,may only take one ,,, but if Im going to sit and wait Im going to make my money and go enjoy my life ,,,, a couple of trades and a runner just as good if not better than entering and watching and waiting and sitting ,,,, difference of opinions for sure ,,I enjoy trading and Ive done it long enough to know the mkt does the same shit day in and day out no matter what ,,,, every day asia 15 to 20 pips in the eur ,, most can usually be had both ways ,,then into fankie and london ,,figure that out and most days you have a direction for the day,, figure out the direction on the weekly period and and do the right things at the appropriate levels and it gets even better. Once you realize there is no mystic or mystery to the mkt its just buyers and sellers from level to level ,, pretty much what Jessie did by being to able read the ticker tape in different ways than most could,, it becomes a whole lot less worry some . There is actually a lot of order to what appears as chaos to most ,, just my opinion of course ,,but i see it every day ,,does it make it easy nope ,,but it makes it whole lot more doable ..and profitable
