SELL GJ 138.90 SL 139.40

sorry typo real sl added

Hi Everyone,

SL should be 139.50 ?


btw: thx JDL for the ReloadEvery Addon.

SL = 135.4 or TP = 135.4?

you guys had opportunity to get better position, i actually added up higher at 139.10

crazy market .. i guess news r something sl triggered

I could luckily escape with 8 pip profit, i was busy putting my SL in, when the market started to become so volatile, and I just closed as soon as I was in profit.

hmm whippy should have had bigger stops but -50pips on gj

I'm still in cuz I put my SL at 3950, in at 3908. I got the daily pivot at 3935, then my 7 pip spread, and threw a few more on there for cushion. There was some UK retail data, but nothing spectacular, there were spikes across the board, not just gbp.

short GJ 13890 AGAIN

good one

stealing sl .. 13950.. weird week maybe because news tomorrow, whatever it is im going to log these trades n call it a week. bad week for me.

very volitile, trade at +60pips now, took 1st tp at 13830 im moving stops at be+5 on trail .. 60pips locked n let the reast roll..

resistance area here at 13820 through to the weekly pivot, probably smart idea to take profits near here n let the rest roll

This was a bit nerve recking, but a good trade at the end, thanks Tatton, I just cannot believe how you always predict it right or, most of the times

I entered only one position at 139.00. Took my profit at 4.28pm est(red news two minutes after, I don't have your stomach yet to stay in trade right before red news )

Nice solid trade.

Im done for the week. I can focus on the rest of the day on the two golden retreivers I just took in from the rescue center.

BTW, any suggestions on the chart I posted? I need help using MT4. I'm not very good using MT4.

oops, meant 4.28AM

Offshore,

I'd sugggest maybe going to charts, then clicking on grid. That will get rid of the grid pattern and it will be much less cluttered and easier to read.

I got in at 3908 and tp on half at 3854, becasue it had stalled there for a while. Then I set my trail at 40 pips, because of the wide swing. Figured if I stopped out, I would still walk away with some pips. I ended up getting the rest at 3815.

I trade at ACM, but really like mt4 so I keep a small account at IBFX. Once you learn the charts, you'll stay with mt4 too.

Have a good weekend everyone. Thanks again Tatton!

we will probably restest s1 today before market close. shorts did well, i use s/r areas as my exits, i find price either stalls at these areas or bounce from them. sorry about the red pips this week, but this is trading, all part of the game.

my tp on trail was 5pips north of my s1, im a but surprised we made it their so quickly breaking through 138 area which is major suppot like it was nothing.

1st to was 60pips 2nd tp was 160pips.




the way i see counting pips is that no matter position size a pip is still a pip. adding percentage to account is all based on the individuals mm..

i do 1-3% a trade, whatever sl is its 1-3% of bal.
when im in lite im in 1-2% and add to the trade as i go, normal position is 3%.

i normally cut losses short by closing when i see change in pa so losses are limited and usually just 1% or so.

glad you guy who posted after my trade made some pips, hopefully made up for some losses. see you next week. I wont be in that chat so often, maybe some of you can post my entries in the chat for me.


FX DAD have the same method as i do it seems, tp around s/r areas.

hi all

made 107 pips have a great weekend

good job. most traders dont consistently win week after week. when you become postive every month then you are on your way to success.

every trader have losing days/weeks.
