hopefully only only a good thing happen to our acc
so the pa will not go to 1.2860..and my pending order will not execute? .. im quite scare to do some scalping..
Telling ya man - fear comes from trading with too much money from the account. Just try a few trades with lower lot sizes. And go ahead and assume those trades are going to be the 'big ones' - so you won't feel like you missed the train if they go into profit.

Here's the important to learn from it though - watch how easier it'll be to follow your plan, and not worry so much if the move goes against you.

Just try 5 trades at $0.10/pip and see the difference.
Once you realize it's about the pips/percentages & not the money - the easier trading will get.

Psi - you gotta be tired from swimming against the current all day.
not at all....after the inactivity of the past 2 days(the calm before the storm)...im not surprised at the volatility here...a few pips lost is no biggie...now its just a matter of finding the next opportunity....1.2580 was strong support this whole time...1.2535 then 1.2505...any lower....only sell...for now...all i see is high volatility from the high end of the range from last week to this week's opening price...all presenting good opportunities that i am taking


Edit:done posting now though..i resumed temporarily my bad habits...there was a bounce off 1.2645 for 40pips up...didnt watch pa so i got burned...be back when the storm is over
Different opinions highly valued, ignorant to slander.

I haven't used his Pivots, but I do use TD Trend Line breakouts as my main tool to time my entries. I also use his system to place Fib levels. I haven't used his pivots but will definitely look into them as his other T/A tools seem to be very accurate.

I'll look around for an indicator for them and post it if I find anything.

I have been running a training course for our engineers today and was nipping in and out of my office to keep an eye on the charts with absolutely no luck at all!!!!

First I missed the hike up then to top it all I placed a pending short at 1.2815 and walked away with a grin on my face only to get back to my desk and see it still sitting up there on it's perch like a coiled spring waiting to pounce on the ride down and a candle "shovel in hand" digging away at S1

Can someone please give me a gun

Just so folks know I practice what I preach, and not all talk
And yeah, yeah - I got out a little early. I tend to do that when I'm staring at a lot of profit. 53% in an hour is too much to give back IMO. There is always another good trade later down the road.

Perfect storm of fibs, pivots, and MA's on GY 1hr. Short from 147.50 plus similar mirror trades on EU/EJ and one no brainer I almost missed but couldn't pass up on GU.. 152.45

Totally unplanned but turned out to be 2 pips short of the high..

Payback for helpin out the widows maybe??

This trade actually reminds me of why I gave up trading this pair. I won't be pushing my luck again.

Using the standard Daily Pivot and with mid-pivots did faily well in this case.

There is a TD Pivot indicator for MT4 in this thread:

Yes, I was using them and they were well behaved.

I know it's too little too late, but should have been looking for shorts.

Nope. I'm not much a buyer of anything at any price these days. I just wait for rallies.

25% taken off at 145 pips, the rest to run to +5 or Tp at 5020. This is an "out of site out of mind" trade from here on, unless things spike way up again, then I'd just go ahead and close it wherever.

You are in a fantastic trade! I'm jealous!
But knowing me, I'd probably jump out on the first sign of buyers.
