That sounds nice! I was off the screen for a moment or two. I entered a trade from another computer today, as I wanted to go long the GBPJPY. This other computer had 40 lots locked in on the trading window. I actually wanted to buy another 0.5 lots. Well, that was a major distraction of a very special kind. We learn: Do not trade of a notebook when you normal tradingstation is just 2 steps to the left!
But it will be alright in a few moments.
Verrrrrry happy to see ya!!

Things indeed can become quite confusing when we multiply the possibilities. I'm still correcting (as of this morning) some setttings I had entered wrong and stuff like that because I have so much stuff running at the same time!!

Go UP GO UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have an inverted hammer followed by a hammer forming on H1. This could call major profit taking depending on how the current candle closes and how the candle after it confirms.
Then we have room up to 235.50-70 and then really down. Hope I will survive that
...Idiotic mistake - may still lead to some good money.
Bis gleich!

EDIT: I am not going to stay that long in it with 40 lots.... LOL
Question for Herbs: (as in fine....)
About the B&Bs
Good part
Ever since the beginning, whenever the TPs are hit, the trade is close and then the pair "waits" for an opposite signal. Sometimes I "lose" potential pips, but that's ok.
Bad part
Last week I decided to include AUDUSD and its behaviour was as decribed above. Then this morning, the price was going down, I was short and it hit TP and closed the trade BUT instantly took another short trade.
I checked all my indicators and everything's OK. Do you have any idea what could have triggered this "error" as I absolutely do not want trades to be retaken, whether all the indicators agree or not. I want these guys to wait for an opposite signal, even if this means waiting for a long time, it's just my system works like this.
Thanks!

I'm closely watching this one for you my dearest gmatcheroo. But right now, DMI & MOM still in the short zone but at least MOM is flat and not pointing down.
That's why I'm so fond of bots, and am so trying hard to get them to do the job without my intervention, because you see in "manual", you've got the word MAN in there and (or woMAN or even huMAN) and humans make mistakes (as well as are greety, sometimes stupid (often), confused, go too quickly, need to sleep/eat/fart (well you can trade and fart)) but you get my point I'm sure

Thank you for that ... 231.89 is the entry. Hmpffff...There is an Email from Herb! Have a look please.
Just dismatled some... so the pain is away...
Just found out that Zoran and Kamostaij are seeing the market in a similar fashion. Funny thing: I normally see the market different from them and all of us are making pips. So maybe I should feel uncomfy right now? Or we just seem to share TFs right now?? LOL - Psychology is a strange matter!

I'll tell you gmat, I was one second away from asking you what your entry price was so I could put a line on my screen and "live it" with you and there you answer before I ask:.
BTW, Mom's nose (!) is pointing slightly up right now.
Yeah .. I edited above .. I only kept 7 lots and gave the rest into the market with a few pips. So I am more relaxed now and may actually think about eating something. It is about time - no breakfast and a minimal lunch!
Bis gleich!!

ROTFL ... you should not talk about my Mom like this!!

I'll actually short on the 4H since 2 hours ago and happy to report I'm -44 pipsies. The first pic is that trade, the candle is 2 hours old. The 2nd pic is the current 1H with indicators.

Back, Piptress!
Watching a 1M makes you dizzy within a few seconds. I just got back from the not too far away kitchen and the 1M was like a snake. You just have to stare at it unintelligable! Crazy thing!
If we close above 232.50 today I guess the bulls will be back in town. Although MOM is not really getting too excited, the QQE is on a closing streak and all others are also doing a little reversal dance close-in.
Happy to be out of that big hump!: Thanks for bearing with me!
Ciao

Below is gbpjpy 1H for the last 2 weeks. The last few hours were quite the plunge. I don't use resistance lines or fibos etc., all I can tell is that the price currently hit the "volume" indicator zone
Just right behind your house! If I would have to run there, it might take me a mile or two!!
LOL... when the price crosses the volume, please close your platform and run into the WOODS!

Heheheh well I'm sure the price "doesn't like" being tickled by the volume indicator's "spikes" so it has no choice but to go back up

Wouldn't have been a late entry on the 1H tho, go look at the chart. I actually went short (on the candle with the arrow) and TP was hit 45 mins later on that same candle for +$125. I'm happy with that. However, should one have opted not to use a TP, well then boy, yeah, today was the day of the + 563 pips ($490).
So your method is not too shabby concerning "lifestyle". (What was that again??) Hehehe
