Waiting for an indication that it will stay long before i jump in. Right now the pound is long. Day is winding down. If i get in right now & this starts going down then i lose. I will wait until i can see a higher high & jump in a few pips above.
Do you normally trade this way in? If so, you must have some major drawdown on your account before getting into the green. Don't let me or anyone else stop you from your method, I'm just trying to understand. I will be looking for a clue to short her around that price and then go long back towards that price and higher once she tells me she's not going to make a lower low.

I use a big SL. I need to give my trade plenty of room to move in my direction. I just had a short trade in the USD/CAD were it went against me almost 300 pips which i didn't close & i ended up gaining 300 pips. This was last week by the way.GL on your trades

WOW! That is a big SL!! If it works for you though, then by all means, don't let anyone change your method. I myself don't like that much of a drawdown. I'd rather short her from the higher high with tight SL and go long on the higher low and letting price action lead the way. It's working for you so keep up the good work!

Trade well!

i agree with eohater what a shock. Think though if you would have timed the trade better instead of 300 pips you could have had 500 or so.

If the entry was better you would not have experienced large drawdown.

Like right now i am short USD/CHF. I got in at 1.1750 so up now over +150 pips. EUR/CHF got in on a buy at 1.5600. Up now +275 pips. I don't know if you guys just like to scalp or close out positions in an hour or in a day but i leave my trades open for days to give it enough room. Peace

I dont scalp, but I also wont knock it....there is a plan that if you made 20 pips a day, you would be making over $80,000 a month in just over 6 months by compounding your money.......don't try and dispute this with me please......I have a Master's in the only and only true language.......MATHEMATICS.

I'm mostly and intraday trader myself and I only trade cable. For example, since the open of the London session, I've made 423 pips today with very little drawdown on all my trades. If you system is working for you though, best of luck. I like to see green pippage as soon as possible myself without having to wait days for my trade to come back green. I take a hands on approach to my trades and manage the moves as they happen.

yeah when i was scalping cable unintentially the other day cause it kept stalling i racked up loads of pips couldnt believe it. I should scalp more often but i find slightly longer positions less stressfull
