I sold the E/U, and I expect the price to move to the red line I have drawn. I am waiting for the G/U to show some patterns that indicate what it wants to do now.

Today I was completely lost. Look at the screens, got stopped out 3 times almost exactly to the pip. That's very, very annoying for me.

Consequence: I'll use a stop of 30 pips again as I got stopped out 6 times now at 20 pips where the trades would had been big winners...

Sorry, no exact trade parameters, have to come down first. Have stopped for today...

I closed my short position of the E/U when it hit my TP (the red line I had drawn). My gain was 21 pips.

I sold the E/U after the German factory orders came out. I moved my target (red line) to 1.54240. I have to admit I closed just before the price hit the red line. I had a gain of 26 pips.

Just fired everything up. Price action looks a little flat right now, no real eco news out to day so things might be thin....back later.

Hi W

That is the beauty of Phillip's system and the high probability setups as explained by Phillip. Once you get the necessary experience, discipline and patience, it becomes really great fun to trade.

I am still stuggling with the last two issues but I am getting better. Trading small mini lots (0.1lots) and playing around, reading the charts and price patterns as it develps, helps with the experience. You do get some experience looking at charts posted but you do get the real experience by folllowing the live markets and do some small time trading (what I am doing now). I do plan to open a standard account in about 6-9 months and then it is down to serious trading.

That is why I am working on my trading system and plan. ANd get use to the markets and movements. That is also why I concentrate on only my 3 pairs (EUR, Cable, EY) and study them intensively.

Like I always say - enjoy the trading.

Hi X

Sorry, but you do get days like this. Just stay with your plan and system.

For other members:

Don't change your system if you do have a bad day. Trust it and stay with it. If you do have a serious of bad days/trades in a row, then you know there is sometime wrong. DOn't start changing just because of one bad day.

I've been trading Phillip's system now for more than 1 year and I only started changing something after about a month of bad luck or when I see a specific pattern. I don't change my system immediately but only after a month or two following that specific identified pattern I saw.

That was how I came up with that my Appendix with high probability setups - months of charts following and planning.

One of our old fiends are back and with a bang. Well done and welcome back. When the thread was quiet, Emarco and one or two other kept me going. Thanks again for your support - I do appreciate it.

This should be painted on the wall right above your monitor(s) while you are trading. Words of wisdom...period.

Well, I finally saw something I liked after my 'meeting' and bagged 12 on the USDJPY. 5 on the first lot and 7 on the second. This took a while to set up. I was a little concerned because of the time of day and the quick drop to get this going but when the support was broken that gave me a little confidence boost. The DMI+ was ticking up but still below the DMI- so I kept a close eye on it and got out positive....

Our discussion on the EY on Skype chat - see the attached chart:

[08:18:38 PM] Willem Kruger says: EY - just look back and see the nice wave-like movements bouncing off the 21. That is what you want to see and then go for the next high probability setup. Phillip loves that wave-like movements. Very smooth

[08:22:28 PM] André Arruda says: Yes it´s beautful.

[08:22:56 PM] Willem Kruger says: I am busy preparing a chart for ff - will post it in a while

[08:31:12 PM] Willem Kruger says: EY - that is my favourite pair showing her true colour again right now

[08:34:03 PM] André Arruda says: almost 50 pip´s since last pullback...it´s realy amazing.
[08:35:41 PM] Willem Kruger says: That is why she is my favourite pair. Once of twice I tried to trade against the trend but got burned badly. Never trade her against the trend - like now.
[08:36:50 PM] André Arruda says: Trend in our friend.
[08:37:10 PM] Willem Kruger says: Agree!!!!
