stevie, how many pips did you tally last month?
Was up just over 1500 pips by 22nd Aug and then took a few days off as I simply didn't feel right trading wise. Took a few positions as we reached the month end and got on the wrong side of a yen move so ended up just over 1200. Pretty good month in all
although for some reason I'm feeling very flat at the mo.Three positions on just now, one up 25 pips, one down 15 and the other down 75. These were taken on 29th August.
Kind regards
Steve

Hi Steve,
Just thought I would say hello, I last posted on you thread around 2000 posts ago LOL. My first post was on here I believe.
You have shown great discipline and determination Steve and have been an inspiration to me and many others I'm sure.
Following your trials and tribulations has been both entertaining and educational although I understand if you feel the need to post less. Hope you still keep us all updated now and again though.
Myself it just took all my brain power to analyse charts and trade let alone post as well. (have considered starting a journal but maybe I am too lazy lol)
Indeed I have only recently started posting a bit more, I guess as things have become a little more instinctive and structured in my tradeing I now find its easier and may even have a little something to contribute (not sure about that!).
All I did was read everything I could on FF for well over a year before I even registered and then didn't post or even ask questions as a quick search always provided the answers.
Tell you what though, there is just so much to read on FF and a lot of very clever people selflesley providing their knowledge. I won't name names there are to many and I may leave someone out , but they know who they are. I just can't keep up!!
Seriousley Steve you have done a great job and are destined to become a very wealthy master trader.
For me the Eureka moments keep happening and the light at the end of the tunnel is shining all the time (dims now and again).
Trading I believe is like most things, 'its easy when you know how' and most apprenticships are a 'minimum' of three years.
Right I have prattled on enough now!
Keep up the good work Steve.
Regards,
Chris.

Hey Chris
Thanks for your post & so pleased that the thread has been of use to you
It's true there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum and the sharing nature of some is simply astounding as they have nothing financially to gain from it.
I aim to continue posting - maybe not quite as much but I'll try and keep you entertained lol.
I've read a few of your recent posts and it looks to me that you have what it takes so just stay humble, keep learning and you'll make it as a trader I'm sure
Kind Regards
Steve

Maybe we can meet on our yachts among the Greek islands when we get thereand discuss trading over some cool beers.

OK, I've moved the stop losses on my two AUD trades to take into account the Australian interest rate decision in a few hours.
EURAUD short from 1.6633 (s/l now 1.6533, t/p 1.6411)
AUDUSD long from 0.8219 (s/l now 0.8229, t/p 0.8397)
My NZDUSD long from 0.7094 is currently minus 126 pips but no worries
No new trades put on today - these been running nearly a week now....

Ouch, NZD/USD long stopped out for minus 233 pips today - means although 3 winning trades out of 4 this month we are down 71 pips for September so far.
No worries - looks like I'll be setting some new trades up shortly - will post later.

And what's all this fancy exotic pair stuff you're messing with. EURCAD? WTF is that? I'd be surprised if europeans knew canada even exists. It's not a comforting piece of knowledge anyhow.
In with you on the loonie trade (check GBPUSD thread for others if interested).

Stevie! How's it going mate? There's some serious pip bagging going on there, I go idle for a while and you practically milk the markets?! Thats not fair is it! Well, you beat me this last month by at least 200 pips, but I'm glad we're both still alive and in the business,

OK, all 4 positions were closed today, 3 hitting their t/p and 1 just touching it's s/l before reversing lol.
EURCHF short from 1.6441 (s/l 1.6509, t/p 1.6373) hit t/p for +68
GBPCHF short from 2.4320 (s/l 2.4424, t/p 2.4216) hit t/p for +104
USDCAD long from 1.0535 (s/l 1.0474, t/p 1.0596) hit s/l for -61
EURCAD long from 1.4392 (s/l 1.4252, t/p 1.4532) hit t/p for +140
So, I think that makes it 6 trades out of 8 successful for September which is +180 pips for the month.
No trades on at present & will look at the charts over the weekend for any opportunties that may present themselves.
Kind Regards

Hey there SL
USDCAD is also the pair that I've never got a grip on haha. I still trade it occasionally because it will surrender one day
Took a long a couple of days ago at 1.0535 & twice it's nearly hit my t/p just over 1.0590. Of course today it nicked my s/l at 1.0474 before shooting back up to the price I bought it lol.
Whilst I'm here just wanted to also say that this thread
is simply the best on FF and the one I always direct newbies to.
Hope you're keeping well bro & catch you soon no doubt.
Kind Regards
I know you try your best with the reversing, but I really won the prize this time. The last stop (short)was 1.0575. Really, it don't get more precise than this. Hit 1:1. Trading 40 pips lower by now. I managed THREE whiplashes within 5 pips in 3 days. Can't touch this! Da da dann, da daaaa, da daa..can't touch this! Stop! Stoploss time!
Ooooooh, ohhhhhhh...
Glad I only used 0.1-0.2% risk on those entries. Still wasted around 0.5-0.6% total I believe on total nonsense.
Seriously, this pair has an agenda to get me institutionalized.
I'm just gonna eliminate it from my chart space and put my secondary UJ chart there I think.
Nice to hear from ya, thought I'd swing by and say hello again.
Funny how for you, too, that pair's the only one doing net negative pips, huh.
I think we just need to find us a new girl, this one's just toying with our emotions man. The fibre's got a sexy fanny I hear, I's gonna pay her bit more attention in the future I methinks
Nice start into September, hope you'll keep it up. Come a long way, you have.
Best and a great weekend to you,

Hehe,
Can just see you now in your MC Hammer trousers roflmao.
And all this time I thought it was just me with this pair (not talking trousers now - onto USDCAD )
BTW, you're from the USA originally right? Here in good ole England the word 'fanny' has a slightly different meaning haha. It may explain why when Americans ask Brits about their 'fanny packs' we crease up laughing!
Thanks for visiting & have yourself a great weekend too

Isn't fanny = bum, bottom, behind, buttocks related? Funny how they all start with B. Just like boobs actually.
Must B something about that B.
Babe, too.
Hmmmmm. B, the feminine consonant...
So tell me chapperoo, since I find the EURUSD the dog's bollox so much, pray tell what's a fanny then?
For surely, compliment it properly, I must!

Hehe,
Well, as you say very succinctly, in America it means the behind lol.
In the UK, it's a slang word for a lady's private parts or front bottom as my kids would say
Just made me chuckle after a glass of wine or two
