Hey Lynnc

Can I post some trades?

I'm a beginner, but read and enjoyed Genesis and TMS

No, I took the loss and shut down the platform. I was watching the futures market and made some points. However MT4 is still in operation and I did some trades. will post after the trades are all done

A loonie long that I lost 8 pips. I manually took out the trade before the stop was hit as it was clear I took the wrong side of the trade

I meant to post this trade after I close it, but pa thought otherwise. Since it's getting nearer the changeover I guess no harm is done if I post the trade even if it's not finished. I have decided that I should not make public ongoing trades during the day as it might affect other traders' thinking.On the chart my initial trade resulted in b/e for the remainder after partial was taken. I had also taken partial off the current trade as well with 30% left
EDit: the remainder was stopped out while I was doing this posting, so going into the changeover flat

Hello Jeffrey yes you're welcome to post charts. There is no template you need to use, just use what you usually trade with. Welcome

UJ later on, also set to 1:2RR because of the larger stop loss and price had already moved quite a bit and 2R was near the ATR. Just about reached it.

Very nice trading Eric as usual

I took an EU buy yesterday, the first one came out at BE so I re-entered when it signalled again, I am still holding it, but a small profit locked in. I also have a sell on Ucad at the moment.

I have taken a long cable on H4 though the candle hasn't closed yet but if price closes below 1.3533 then I'm not interested anymore and might cut my trade, another 20 minutes to go, let's see

Yes, if price closes below the channel I have on EU I will probably cut it.
My Ucad is at BE.
