Moved SL to 233.50 which is my entry so -9 pips (spread). A doji just appeared. I don't like dojis. Price is DANGEROUSLY flirting with my SL (like 2 pips). Not a fun place to be.

Didn't even get a chance to put the classical CD in yet.

Done deal. I'm out. Except I miscalculated. I'm actually out at breakeven (can I do 2+2=4?, I'll practice this week). So this trade = zero. Lotsa stress for nothin' (nah, it's not nothing, it's knowledge gained and shared and ALL THAT).

Now, where's THAT CLASSICAL CD??????? (so I can get in my next trade more smoothly in about 10 minutes tssssssssk)

Sissy trading conditions (see pic). Crossing up, crossing down, basically doesn't know where it's going, time passes, etc, no use looking at da charts, etc.

(so why am I still here doh) I should learn from the more experienced ones here (the "others" lol) and not bother trading Sunday evenings.

So I'm off it's 23:31 est. Will click the X's and close. I will I will.

Oh one last thing - bandwith. Just had a look at my latest Internet provider bill What's THAT??? Almost doubled. How does that work? And it doesn't even take into account last month when I was on vacation and had like 5 different platforms/systems FIRED UP and running on my computer at the same time ALL DAY LONG. Watch out for next bill, it'll wipe out my gains from this week -- EEEEEEEEK.

Need to get a handle on that. Now I'll click the X's.

See y'all tommorow (if I still have an Internet provider account!)

As you can see from the image, an SMA/t3 cross just occured, and all other indicators have been aligned since ages (pink dot, appeared while I was still sleeping). Now there's no new alert, however when I placed my trade at the arrow, it was BEEPING. Then it disappeared. No fear, it will come back and confirm my move... (I can't HEAR you...)

Got my entry and breakeven backwards in last post (green lines). Now corrected.

Well that was fun. Got stopped out (see beautiful picture attached) so that's -39 pips.

Now studying the gbpusd/usdjpy/gpbjpy relationships for further support.

This is strange.

Notice how now I've got a pink and blue dot where in pic above there were none. Now how can I use the alerts if they just show up LATER? Hmmm

Just moved SL to breakeven -1 (one pip secured)

That was quick. Stopped out +1 pip.

I was supposed to unload 1/2 position first grrrrr. Now the price is back way down.

I'll get the hang of it..........................................................

Well, it’s london closing time and north america is closed today, so as much as I would like to place a trade, there is absolutely nothing happening on my charts. Will be back for the asian session tonight around 19h EST.

Missed the long trade earlier as I wasn't watching the charts.

Got into this one tho.

At this point, all te indicators have confirmed and this trade has cleared breakeven (for now anyway)

Just a note on the post above. All the indicators (or rules) EXCEPT the fact that all the red candes DO have upper shadows.

Price is currently retracing, but still below my entry (but above breakeven).

Breath in slowly, breath out even slower..........

This thing is moving so slowly, I keep thinking my connection’s down anyway, closed out ½ position at halfway between entry and breakeven, that’s 5 pips goes to my broker, since the candles are very small or dojis or starting to turn blue.

This has got to get a TEENY bit easier than this on da nerves. However, today is a holiday and currently well basically ALL MARKETS ARE CLOSED so I don’t even know who’s moving the markets.

I’m still holding on the ½ of the position. We’ll see how it turns out.

Doh!

I did it again, went too fast and liquidated the WHOLE position. Darn platform (gotta blame something)

The price is moving up, so maybe that was God helping me. But nonethess I'm angry because that is NOT what I wanted to do. I need to follow the system and quit making mistakes.

Back to the charts. -5 pips (X 2 lots) blown in the wind -> not the system's fault, mine.

haaaa the joy of repainting ^^

I’ll post directly here from now on since filling in the form/screen shot/upload and all that takes time, and you should have an idea by now anyway.

All indicators agree.
So, back in long at 234.12
SL 20 pips at 232.92

Then a mega huge red candle appears while I’m typing this and an alert in the other direction is triggered. Except I don’t get stopped out cause I can't count - I put it @ 232.92 (should have been 233.92!!!!!!!) so manually stopped myself out at 233.90. What a joyful day.

-22 pips

See entry (1st pic) then 5 minutes later. I'm putting a poster on my wall that says DON'T TRADE ON HOLIDAYS

Hi there,

Well I understand that sometimes a dot will appear and then it vanishes and reappears, etc. until the candle is closed. After that, once the candle is closed, it never repaints, it stays there. At least that's been my experience.

In the example above, either dots never appeared and somehow at some point I (reloaded maybe, can't remember) see 2 dots which I swear were not there I WAS STARING SO HARD AT THE SCREEN heheh.

Don't understand what happened there. Maybe you can explain "repainting"?

Don't get discouraged, boys and girls.

1. Last Monday was a holiday as well, and I put in 3 bad trades before realizing this. Then the rest of the week was quite positive (finished at +80 pips or thereabouts, in spite of the 3 bad trades)

2. It seems I don't learn by my mistakes because this time I KNEW it was a holiday (I'm off from work myself!!) but still, I put in 4 trades today....

Goes to show it's not the system , it's me
