{quote} Today i try your method. 7 wins in a row, just have one swisssy at 0,9976, to deal. But Itīs not for me, since 7 a.m ( gmt+1) Iīm glue to this. Iīm vintage, from the time of DM, FF and so on. Iīm more of a swinger but this has itīs fun. Thanks.
I don't have patience and actually feel stressful to hold the positions with profits...worrying about profits will disappear .. I have to force myself to hold that 10 pips each time to be honest...lol.....I guess we each have to find the trading methods to fit our own personalities.... you may wonder..is my method profitable for a long run ? absolutely.... here a screenshot of one of my regular accounts...

Have no doubt, off the merits of your method. We spent most of the time in consolidation, where it works perfectly. In trending, is just being on the rigt side, wich can be seen in an higher TF. This said itīs simpler on the paper that put it to work. Congrats! BTW today i used the 30m chart.

Hey Boulder,

is there place for discretion in your trading or do you have strict rules that you apply?

As I understand, you have rules for setting direction and pips you are willing to risk and then enter only along this direction with the help of some indicators and discretion (experience/gut feel/how you wanna call it)?

I have some rules..but most of time, I will trade levels I post each day.....plus its easier to find 10 pips in a lot places instead sit that to wait for perfect entry or exit..

As I understand, you can manage quite big drawdowns (compared to your TP of 10 pips)?
If, for example, risk is about 150 pips and you enter a few shorts, that's quite a lot of TP's to outsize these SL's. But I guess the math still works

{quote} eu starts to look bullish..
eu running into larger tf R now. week 1049 and day 1064, they are permeable. Treat them as a area. Often the 1049 level will push pa back under 0979. Sometimes quickly, I treat these as a trend resumption. When the day ends up closing below 1.0979 after reaching 1.1049. Atm and since reaching for lows earlier. The 4h levels have become strong support. The excitement earlier looked like that classic reject I wrote about. I dont know what influenced the bounce, maybe Brexit news. No excuse, it was wrong. Now the Brexit news is known. I dont know if it will try. I know 1049 and 1064 are big numbers. So if pa breaks out of 4h levels, eu could drop to test 0979 (floating number) 0979 is subject to lower some if pa drops.

4h wise continue closing below 1033 is not bullish. 1022/23 some support, 1014/15 stronger.

eu 4h support basically on the 5's. 1.1005 1.1015 1.1025 atm. moving up toward the Large R at 1049 or 1064. The higher R are on much larger tf, and with larger trend. pa is compressing against the larger Trends.

1h trend stops at close below 1.0030.. another support for 1h 1.0998/1.0002. close 1h below 1.0998, with a 4 close below 1.1005. Should be bearish
