Hi steviet, been following for quite sometime and i am impressed, good luck mate.
One thing though, I have an account specially for scalping , it's with EFX and they have 1 pip spread GJ on high liquidity sessions and max of 5 on low liquidity, the platform is not the best but we're waiting for a new version soon.

All the best
Thanks very much for the info on EFX - it would be good to know if any others have experience trading with this broker.

Cheers
Steve

Dear Steveit

Which post number can i find your new strategy, there is a lot of threads to read ( about 2000 plus ), if you can point me to thread number where i can find you current startegy, it would be really greatful.

Thx
Hi Zamir

OK, you're not going mad - you can't find it because I haven't posted it and at this stage have no intention of doing so. I've had a good month but that means nothing in the grand scheme of things. If that turns into 5 out of 6 good months or 10 in 12 then it will mean a lot more.

When I started the journal nearly a year ago the goal was to average 500 pips a month over 12 months. As we enter the last week or so, I'm not far short of that although it's been a rollercoaster ride lol with a few changes in strategy along the way.

The main thing is I've made a profit in my first year trading live and I've learnt a great deal about the markets and myself.

Kind Regards
Steve

I'll definitely lose a trade or two with this strategy & they will be big losses when they happen. However, in the meantime I'll just plod along picking up my pips

Steve, your Journal interests me... I admit to not having read it through... yet... I'm pretty busy with a couple of other [trading] things just now...

I keep noticing you putting this disclaimer in every so often, when people go... oooooh..... aaaaaah..... 2000+ pips.... you're saying... "yeah, it could end tomorrow".... "couple of big losses".... Which is [potentially] true...

But, the funny thing is, is that even if that happened, it really is interesting how it wouldn't really matter... The learning experience you are getting from this is absolutely tremendous... Like you said, you have somewhat of a feel for the pairs you trade... Getting right down to the nitty-gritty, profitable or not, is an excellent learning enhancer...

I have only really started experiencing success in forex... Two changes have done this for me.... Concentrating on one pair... and... more importantly for me... Shorter timeframes... Guess it's a personality thing...


Keep it up man,

Magnus

Ever wished you'd held on for another 10 minutes - 400 or so pips gone begging there on 4 positions lol.

Still have 4 remaining shorts open from 232.68 to 232.98 which are now looking likely to end up in profit. When prices were at 240 area they weren't looking so promising...

Kind Regards

Thanks again Marcus - you're absolutely right. Time in front of these blessed charts and 'getting a feel' for what you're doing is so important.

Thanks Spike

300 just around the corner but it's easy to sing whilst your winning lol.

Interesting to note a few threads on the forum lately saying nobody can make consistent money from 5 min charts. Let's see....

Haven't had one of my 1000 pip stop losses () hit yet but I could afford 5 of those and still be at break even and I'm confident that along the way to any of those being hit I'll make at least that to cover.

OK, I've had a pretty good couple of hours & need to sleep. I've 4 open short positions from 232.68 to 232.98 with t/p of 100 pips each.

I'm going to take a calculated risk here as I think Asia will take this down further so I'll see where we are in 5 hours time when my alarm rudely awakes me

Let's see if its 400 pips in the morning, egg on my face or somewhere in between in 5 hours lol

Take care peeps & see you in the morning.

Big ol gap down tonight and price continuing... down.... now he's gonna be saying +100 +100 +100 +100 when he wakes up !!!

Something very strange going on tonight... !!! Market not going normally... Oanda is down... and that hardly ever happens....

Edit to last post - GJ dived so I took profits on all 4 lol

GBPJPY short 232.98 closed 232.58 (+40)
GBPJPY short 232.88 closed 232.58 (+30)
GBPJPY short 232.81 closed 232.61 (+20)
GBPJPY short 232.68 closed 232.38 (+30)

So another 120 pips and now NO OPEN POSITIONS

Oct pips +2610
Increase in a/c bal Oct 24.02%
Consecutive profitable trades 304
Average pip gain per trade Oct +21.04

With no open positions this little foray into the 5 minute charts has gained a fair few pips (nearing 5000).

Kind Regards
Steve
