You're taking a position 1h 30 min before a major testimony from the Fed Chairman and the US Treasury, 2 days after a double BIG CUT in rates....

reminds me of my emotional discussions in this thread a while a go... The time when I DID CARE

Today I'm just down for the next name on the Hall. Since the foundation, the lousy calls vanished... I wonder why.
If I remember correctly.. those in the Hall of Fame are..
Free444 (cable going to 9773)
Soros Jr (2.1 sooner than you expect)
Igrok (1.4 before 2.0)
the rest I forget.. anyone want to add??

How do you know the trend has started? dont know
How do you know the trend has finished? dont know
How do you know what the trend is? observe
Where do you get in? anywhere
Where do you exit? That's a long story.
Are you disciplined? Yep
Are you emotional? Nope
Are you patient? Always
What inidicators are you using? None. What are those?
How much are you risking on a trade? Very low.
How about support/resistance? I observe

He's gonna address before a congressional committee on the housing problems and the "solutions" he and Bush talked about on that Friday, if you recall. He's taking US Treasury's Paulson with him.

Looks like there won't be much room for his usual B.S. or Berlin's "global savings glut", when he manages to skip the the issues that really matter.

So, there is the sense that this will be a major event.

Just a note...

I think you are a good trader in a sense that you know well what to do, and when to do it. Your trading strategies seem to be good considering that you are mainly a intraday trader.

However you seem to do something that is completly unprecedented for normal traders.

Sometimes you trade 500 pip targets based on 5-15m charts.

A normal intraday trader makes 20-50 pips in a good trade. You aim for 500 and place 100 pip stops based on "Xminutes" charts signals.

I don't get it... can you explain me what i'm missing here?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Warper,

Thanks for your comments. First of all I don't recall aiming for 500 pips in a trade, most of the time it is 200-300 pips. I mainly focus on 4hr/1hr charts but I use 5/15m charts for entry/exit. My SL most of the time is 100 pips, that is my own rule. I hope it's clear now.
