Not a good day with lots of ranging and a 1% loss. Dollar moving slow due to thanksgiving holidays I believe.
Dollar red news at the top of the hour with the release of the Fed Minutes from the last meeting.

same position as last week. Demo account up 7% with 2 days to go, so gotta be careful from now on.
Be confident with your trade decisions and any deviation to your trade plan, close it for a small loss and look for another trade.
Steer clear of news events.

Got lucky on GU for +25 today just before the £ news. Other than that, very slow and ranging.

Dax UK time - end of my two hour session nears - I usually stop at 10am.
Failed long into Asia session box, then a successful short, followed, later, by a nice long up through pre London box and Asia session range, through previous session high AND "Roadmap" kept me in that long trade.

I too am closing down for the week due to American holidays. Been a tough one but 8.4% added to the demo. Good weekend guys and happy pips next week to you all.
Parting shot on GU caught my eye. M5 range break and retest for 8 pips pushing the demo up to 8.7%
See the range better by zooming out.

Some tips from this week that might help some people from a humble demo trader of +5 years of attempting and 2 weeks of good profits in a row, thanks to Laura's roadmap. Keep an eye on what the dollar is up to as most assets are linked to it to some extent. The picture shows UJ H1 chart for the last few days. Notice the bunching up over the last couple of days mostly from the Americans doing thanksgiving stuff. This will cause ranging on most assets as we have discovered on GU, AU, gold etc. Good trending prior to that giving us plenty of opportunities to make some money. Also notice my numerous trendlines mostly joining up the highs and lows. This has been my eureka moment of deciding which direction to trade in. A large number of you will say yeah "higher high, higher low is uptrend" but it wasn't until I started adding trendlines on the charts that it became a lot clearer. to me. A break of a trendline needs to ring alarm bells and make you decide on the next part of your trading plan. Spend time doing the trendlines, I clear my charts every day and start afresh, don't trade without proper consideration and avoid FOMO, avoid news events where possible. I did trade 2 dollar events this week to get my daily percentage up but not recommended. I use the FXSSI calendar indi to show up coming red news events on the chart. I can come up with some more tips if anyone is interested.

Got meetings and presentations tomorrow so London Session is looking tricky for me. Is possible I might see some action during US session.
Anyway. One good trade is all I need for my daily 2%, risk of 1%
Watching UJ for a break of the wedge pattern, Gold looking similar. GU might be about to head down from here.
Waiting for a trending pattern on the M5 charts, get in the M1 and nurse it to BE. Any deviation before BE close it and wait for another trade to appear.
Trade the swings. Good luck guys

Afternoon Dax - UK Time. Didn't get a trade until around 3:45pm due to price contained within Box high/lows and very large and whippy bars/tails. Past experience tells me to treat such candles with caution and wait. Sometimes you get a trade and other times you dont. So one waits. Worked okay this time ( blue circles). Finished for the day.

No trades today as busy in meetings, hopefully tomorrow will prove to be better. Robot added 0.6% to the account so a little progress this week.
example of what I look for on the M5 charts. Higher high and higher low and SMA 200 holding support. Look left and see the higher low is in the previous swing high zone. SL below the SMA and take a long punt at the arrow. Drop to M1 to see progress one way or the other. We can add a fib expansion tool to our swing and target the 100% level. With a SL of around 10 pips, i am looking for a 20 pip target (also around the 100% fib) but will take as much as i can. Moving my stop up as Price moves up. Add my trend channel from the bottom swing lows and then copy it onto the highs to check for direction change. At the top we see lower highs meaning this thing is running out of steam and we need to close if we haven't already at our 1:2 TP level.

Another example. Admittedly lots of screen watching required. Disappointed that I missed these today.
