Thanks peeps but just given that back and more on what appeared to be good set ups last night

EURAUD long from 1.6170 minus 85 pips
AUDUSD short from 0.8361 minus 66 pips
AUDJPY short from 101.44 minus 86 pips

These were opened about an hour before the close of yesterdays bars and I may have jumped in too early and yes, I know, there were two pieces of AUD news as well. However, Steve needs to sleep sometime lol - sheesh its 5am now - what am I doing awake anyhow lol.

Also holding NZDUSD short & GBPUSD shorts after what appeared to be good pin bars hahaha.

So, back to square one (or is that zero). Even more annoying is looking back to my original method to find I'd currently be.....

Long NZDUSD from 0.7302 with 180 pips locked in and currently up 236 pips
Long AUDUSD from 0.8235 with 131 pips locked in and currently up 190 pips
Long GBPUSD from 1.9821 with 77 pips locked in and currentlu up 150 pips

AARRRGGHHH!!!! This trading game is just so simple isn't it

Kind Regards
Steve

Steve, what feed / MT4 are you using?

There are absolutely no PBs on NZDUSD and GBPUSD here.

Close but no cigar. Also the nose is far too tiny.

You want long noses preferably

Hi StevieT

I was watching your thread with great interest back in Jan and Feb of this year, took a break from Forex for a few months and now I'm back and looking at your thread with interest. You mention in your last couple of posts that you should have stayed with your original system. I was wondering what you had changed from your original method? It seemed to be going fine.

Also could you clarify what your approach is to whether to start a trade expecting the trend to continue or a reversal? I guess thats the big question!

Many thanks

Howard

Haha,

Let me try and explain - just a Stevie cock-up, nothing serious

OK, I don't use MT4, just my broker's feed....

Firstly, their daily bars finish at 10pm my time - I believe most brokers using MT4 finish a couple of hours later. Secondly, I made the fatal errror of opening these positions a couple of hours before my daily bar closed in anticipation lol - here I am, over 6 months a live trader and still being a plonker lol. Thirdly, I was probably still excited with the previous day's results thinking I was invincible hahaha.

By the time my daily bars closed the set ups were not looking so good, a couple of hours later even worse and when the Aussie news hit that was that rolf.

However, NU & GU are still going and are currently hovering around my original entry point. I don't deserve it but I may just get away with it lol.

Thanks for your help!

Kind Regards

OK, quick update before bed......

GBPUSD short from 1.9930 currently plus 5 pips

New trade opened......

EURUSD short from 1.3506 currently plus 10 pips

And now for my NZDUSD short from 0.7490 lol

So, the NZ Bank put their rates up to 8% and up she went eek! I did something I haven't done for months and removed my stop loss temporarily to see where it would peak. As it was it hit 0.7565 (1 pip above my now removed stop loss ). So, I entered a second short at 0.7560...

NZDUSD short from 0.7490 currently minus 40 pips
NZDUSD short from 0.7560 currently plus 30 pips

Time to sleep now - lets see what the Asian session brings

OK, trade update - been a pretty good day so far...

GBPUSD short from 1.9931 currently plus 164 pips
EURUSD short from 1.3506 currently plus 71 pips

Am in two minds whether to close out at these levels or just move stop losses into positve.

NZDUSD short from 0.7490 currently minus 54 pips
NZDUSD short from 0.7560 currently plus 16 pips

These two hit 0.7511 whilst I was asleep last night for what wouldve been a net gain. By the time I woke up price had shot back up to the 0.7560 level grrrr.

Hi James,

At the moment I'm short from 1.9931 and I'm trying to lock pips in on the way down. It's made a short retracement from it's day lows but I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit the 1.96's tomorrow.

Two open NZDUSD shorts have stop losses moved to 0.7510, which guarantees plus 30 pips worst case scenario.

Current trades are plus around 300 pips

Worst case scenario hit on NZDUSD - plus 50 & minus 20 so overall plus 30 pips.

Seems like you have turned your boat back into the right course!!!!!!
Now...I have been trying to see which is the criteria that you are following with your new system, but I don't see any in the past posts. Did you post it before and I missed it? If not, do you mind if you can give me some insight about it?

Thanks.
