Good for you to realize this so soon. It took me a little bit longer to realize price is the best indicator.

First, welcome to the Factory. There is a wealth of information here for you to peruse. Trading using price action is not easy, and sometimes very subjective. I suggest you start by reading the first few pages of James16 Chart Thread, a classic here at FF. Then, read The Law of Charts. It has changed my forex life, and made many things clear.

If you read and understand both those things, you will be well on your way to consistent profitability in Forex.

So your account is at $250 with forex.com

So that means you have a mini account ($1/pip). So I guess you're going to risk more than 2% on each trade if you're going with this broker.

The Law of Charts. is it the eliot wave 1-2-3 system?,
kaspirano
The Law of Charts is a wave-type system, but in my opinion it is much easier to understand and profit off of than Elliot Wave, which can require years of study to become proficient.

Sorry to Xenaga03 for derailing this.

Thanks for posting the link to the Law of Charts. I have gone through the James16 thread already, so this should make for a nice follow-up. Appreciate it.

Sorry I did not call this live, but I sold at 1.9438 when market opened. This was due to gap and in my experience, when it gaps up or low, the market always retraces to that gap.
I studied elliot wave but it is too subjective. Some people count wave lengths differently. I decided not to use it at all. I have never heard of Law of charts either.
Summary:
10,000 lot sold on GBP/USD @ 1.9438

Waiting for NY and London session to see how they would react to this price.
kthx

Please take no offense... to reach your goal you will have to trade smaller. 10,000 contract is too high for an account your size.

Jon
I take trades with small risk and good profit ratio.
Take the gap for example.
Stop loss would be above the gap and this is also a chance to short at the top. Correction is also due
kthx.
Xenaga03,

Who is your broker? I ask this because you posted short at 1.9438. I cannot find any charts with my broker or online that show GBP/USD over 1.9411.

Jon
Just remembered your with forex.com. Went to thier site and the ticker says high for GBP/USD was 1.9468. I wonder how they got that?
FXDD showed 1.9460 for the open.
