{quote} I gather you take profit on Friday. I dont have the nerve to wait a few days to take profit. I take profit as soon as I can, so good luck with your trade

I used to trade live with you, and on many occasions, I had losses while you kept making profitable trades. I never envied you — instead, I tried to learn M15 chart trading, but I couldn't replicate your style. The way you open trades and hit take profit is truly beautiful scalping. You clearly enjoy it a lot. In contrast to that i am always busy with other household affairs. few months back you were travelling in CHINA and trading I can't do that. My wife won't allow that.

You used to take trades H4 and hold them overnight too and this is your system and it works, you can see entry is right TP is always issue. sometimes i could see profit and while i am busy in other chores market reverse and hit my SL. hahaha. that's annoying but i know i will make profit again so no hard feelings.

I was in a short earlier with profits made. Currently I am in a long with partial taken and stop moved to b/e but I wont wait for Friday to take my profit, I think {image}
Yes i will collect my TP as market struggling. not many buyers and there is no volume today. it may reverse if more and more traders consolidate or start taking profit tonight.

It's always good to take profits quickly on Friday as the thought of losing and having to wait 2 days to get your loss back is quite disturbing. I probably be going to China in October again and trying to trade while in the country is difficult as getting connected is a big problem. In Hong Kong it's not a problem but this time round I will be far away from HK. I'm paying a visit to see the terracota warriors in Xian but I will also return to Schenzen which is just the neighbour so going to HK is quite easy except the hassle of filling in the immigration card upon crossing the border back to China. Anyway back to trading and I took a long AU and it's like a race between the snail and the tortoise. I reckon Cad news will change all that.

I took out profit in GBPUSD, it continues bullish trend and could have collected more profit, but tht's ok I entered OIL Short after seeing your interest in Oil .

HongKong is really nice, i've been to all asian countries except china. they wanted my passport to be sent over whereas i never needed visa to any country, indonesia and vietnam gives on arrival. i heard china relaxes tourism and giving 30 days on arrival now. i will see.

Yes, you are correct. China has relax the rules and many countries in Europe and UK now do not need a visa to go to China but I believe is only for a limited period like 7 days to 14 days. Im not too clear as I have a 2 year visa (paid) so I might as well use it before it expires. I would suggest you pay a visit to China and see how developed she has become and also how scenic the places are with natural beauty and all. I recently spent 5 days in Paris and tthe cost amounted to nearly half the cost of my trip to China for nearly a month last year excluding the air fares. I have never been to Indonesia and I was in Hanoi about 15 years ago. Ho Chi Minh city (Saigon) would be the city I go to if I visit Vietnam. I visited Thailand several times when I was younger. Somehow USA is never on my list

I drew the line in grey as support where a bounce could happen. Although we now have a lower wick the candle closed as bearish red. A green/blue candle close will make me think about going long. Until that happens nothing doing

I've traveled around Asia, but I will definitely arrange a vacation to China. Try some of the affordable, spicy local cuisine in Indonesia and HCMC. I'll be returning to Japan in a few weeks depends if wife agrees. The people of Japan are incredibly humble, amiable, and the nicest country in the world. That is a must-visit location. Don't live in Kyoto; instead, stay in Osaka, take a 30m train to Kyoto, and then head back osaka. I genuinely adore the US, been to many states and I had a great time in LA, vegas, Miami, New York, and Chicago.

I can spend the entire day without checking my screen, and I typically hold trades overnight. However, you are a beautiful scalper, and it's fantastic that you can handle deals while on vacation, Eric.

I will ask the old lady if we can squeeze in Osaka this time. I made the choice of going to Taipei (Taiwan) for 5 days last year. It was a tour we booked in HK and sad to say I did not feel well while there and had to pay a visit to the doctor when I returned to HK, and stayed in bed for nearly 3 days out of 5 before catching the flight back to the UK
