maybe the rise this morning was a fake break to the upside.
trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

who says you will follow the market makers by entering at the lines you have drawn.

GU is just not moving again today. I more and more tend to believe its probably not the right asset to day trade, even not for a hand full or pips.

Look at all this up and down mess it created so far just for today and you even say you normally do not trade or even look while New York opens.

I would love to see some of these magic fixing but I guess this is never going to happen.

Assuming a 70 Pips daily range at a bare minimum giving you room to fix a first failed trade but as TooSlow already provided statistics GU had less of a range for the complete last 12 months for 30% or the time. So you are then can be only happy/lucky not to have traded at all while these days happened?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to look for what amount of min. range something is moving for a 100% of the time so you at least don’t get surprised for 1/3 of your year. I mean if such fixing is the biggest part or what makes you profitable in the end and therefore you need at least some movement without having it consolidating in a 30 pips range for sometimes half the day.

For sure you then have the counters so a loss is never a loss :-)

Thats fair.

Like said. I am just not convinced about that the ability or reading price charts from left to right (in the way you think it’s right but who knows…) is the only way to make money from trading. I actually believe it has to do with things far away from this.

There are people here able to make a living from 5 pips scalping without having to care about the bigger picture, trend and zooming out all day on a bunch of different charts. So either they are all full or shit or there is perhaps a way.

Try asking Billy how he is doing that, good luck

Ok time for a coffee… Don’t take my words too serious right, have a good day!

Here's a chart. So maybe some of the counter trading professional could tell me what to do to now fix my 40 Pips floating loss? ...

Edit. My setup range of the 08-09 UK time slot btw was abnormal big again. However using my rather mechanical approach without trying to read the hole chart picture from left to right or even start jumping through all different time frames before (and still could have ended up in a loss) I would have instead entered at the line break (trusting in statistical probabilities instead to play out over time) trying to make +15 or lose -15.

So today this would have resulted in a -15 Pips loss so far or -1,5% trading 0,10% per Pip not 1%. I would now allow myself to place a second entry at the low of that range going short on a second entry (if happens) trying to make +15 again until the day is over. So i would then either end up about break even or -3% and then stop (limiting risk for the day)

But yeah, you then have things not even moving and I am not even sure when or if at all it will cross the low of the range until the day is over...

If you have a trade and it fails, you next trade off a trigger.
This can be the trigger as your failed trade , so perhaps trade the following day OR HAVE ANOTHER TRIGGER.
If you have another trigger it has to have good stats.

i did say i would short soon, it did drop to break low <But is wasnt soon, it was late.
So i did not trade it , look what happened, it moved back up to break high and then dropped down to break low and kept going.

I could of traded that and fixed it , we had plenty of movement , right now it has made just over 80.
Look at the bleedin chart, small ranges are always busted , even if it takes the next day.

And up again :-)

I am still short but now also long because of the counter long positions I placed today.

The volatility is like watching the grass grow.

You then have every second candle changing color/direction until everyone is finally stopped out (whip/consolidation) and then you get a sudden move hopefully a little larger until it then consolidates again and the show starts again.

Now as I know we are technically still in a downtrend on GBP/USD, I will hold on to my shorts until they maybe one day would have reached the 340
profit target. It still doesn’t solve what to do with my longs I placed to temporary limit my risk.

I wonder how people make money using no leverage at all trading a single currency pair, so 1:1.

You would have first needed to perfectly time buying the bottom and selling the top again or vice versa to then make a stunning 8.2% having waited a year for it.
