{quote} Almost immediately after my exit, price spiked down to 1.1206, one pip above my original TP, and then in the blink of an eye jumped back up above 1.1212, and then jumped back up to 1.1218 where it is now just above my manual exits. Are we having fun yet

{quote} Yeah, the PA is pretty weird today. I moved my SL right up under my entry point at one stage as the PA was so close to touching it. Once the PA moved down again I replaced the SL to where it was. If I didn't do that, I would have been stopped out. I don't generally do that, but in my case the PA was slow that I decided that broker slippage was unlikely so I took the chance. But you never can tell!!

{quote} LOL!! For some reason I just thought of a movie, a western with Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Quick and the Dead" {image}
Great cast!! Gene Hackman is such a great actor.
When I used to race my Ducati, there's a street race held every year in Wanganui. It's part of an international series and attracts some big names from overseas. Anyway, it's a tight circuit held around the city and runs right through a cemetery. That's what they say about that particular race, 'The Quick and the Dead!!'
Ok....it's just after 3am for me, so time for some coffee and then sleep. Back for Frankie tomorrow

{quote} Yep....I pick up my guitar and just play while I watch the charts.....and drink coffee!! Fortunately, when the pips flow, they cover the slack days. I generally tally up the totals at the end of the month. Day to day totals don't mean a lot in the big scheme of things....
Ahhhhh. So this is where you hang out during the day
All the best with your thread RJ.
I generally scalp during Asia and hopefully my day is done by the first call of London.
In & out of the markets quickly suits me best I have found.
(I come originally out of many years of horse racing in Oz where the start time & distance of each race is firmly fixed lol.
So I am used to the short time frame of a race - just how it is - and I have ported that in & out style over to my trading in forex).
You are a good man RJ and I wish you the best of fun here.
Pete

Good to see you dropping buy there Pete, many thanks. I decided to open the journal for my 'live' trades and anyone else who wants to post their trades as they happen. Too many hindsight traders at FF and I want to try to make things a bit more honest.
Off out for lunch shortly, then back for Frankie later on

Yep understand fully pal.
That's gonna be my prob in that I trade, in the moment, and don't take my eyes off the screen.
Here's what I traded this morning 'after' the event sorry (I would have posted a loser had it worked out that way, but the hedge means I have to sit in DD until a reversal point - can be tricky).
I will continue to look in here but cannot post live sorry.
+12.9p for the morning. Will stop now until just prior to Frankfurt setups.
I was not too pleased with my first trade (though had a plan).
I jumped in early expecting price to continue UP immediately after the 50% retrace of the major candle (based on my 15m & 1hr views).
And closed too early with 2nd trade. Way it goes.
My trading is a work in progress, always, based on how I view the market mechanics lol.
