DXY looks like bulls may be in charge so GU/Gold bears should win! {image}
Hah hah seriously bro. That guy in FTMO forum is making my day. I'm having fun posting there while not trading.

ZZzzZzz I'm going to join the others. Not gonna trade till after NFP I tried scalping EU. Got out at BE. It's not moving. Gonna see what food I can find
Yes I wondered what the heck is going on with Gold this morning! NFP today of course.

Yep - nothing to do until this afternoon

{quote} Had Tickmill the first time - no problems and spreads on VIP account are good
Do you automatically get put on the VIP account or have to request it? Tickmill have a classic account too, which to be honest spreads dont seem great.

No don't go for that! You have to request the VIP account which has the best spreads

{quote} Yeah agree. For GU, I think the bear trend is going to continue today. Then maybe they will reverse it after NFP. I think GU is a bear as long as it stays below 33170
33170 got tested again and rejected. If NFP, can't break above that at release. It's confirmed. We might have a down move on GU for a couple of days. Then this signal I have on H4 most likely will work. If it works, this dude is targeting 31202 for TP1.

Also, on dollar index, I have 3 failed buy setups there, and one new buy setup at H4. The first 3 failed, how about this 4th? Point is, dollar is bottoming and it's trying to climb back up.

15 Minutes for the fireworks.

Bleh, quote on this FTMO is delayed 15 minutes ago. I would have been up $370. I was surprised all of the sudden my stop got hit at BE. I wasn't able to move my trailing stop.

Should have been just $30 away to target.

Gonna keep going and going bear power today. NO reversal even pit session. If thinking to go long be careful.

Trial complete. Thank you NFP! However, I don't like my max daily loss. It's like living on the edge. I almost got taken out by just a $100 more. Time for another free trial.

That max daily loss needs to improve.

I just reviewed my account analysis on my first free trial. My win rate is higher on the first one as I only trade M15/M30 chart (81.25%). My win rate on the second one is lower since this one I included my 1 min trading (54%). I think this is due to the trailing stops getting hit or the BE. If I'm to take the challenge the safer bet is just to use the M15/M30 setups (also low draw down). Plus, I doubt I'd be able to handle trading on two accounts anyway, (live account and FTMO). Since M15/M30 is slower, I'll be able to handle trading on M1 (live account) while waiting for M15/M30 setups on the FTMO account.

Yes I too have decided to stick to M15/M30. Way too many trades for me yesterday. Scalping is frustrating and nerve wracking.

Especially does this apply to trading Gold!

I've gotten used to it I just trade it when there's high volume. But, I always keep in mind that sudden high volume can also reverse it hard.

I think I would be eliminated by this rule of consistency. My lot size is varied, but the % risk is always the same value.

Ok bro, I talked to them varying lot size is not a problem as long as I remain consistent with the risk%. This is not a problem for me. So I signed up for the $10k just to test the waters. Also, if I upgrade in the future it will still be no monthly fee.

Great trading guys! Those were awesome results. Meanwhile, I'm 2 weeks in drawdown.
