Morning David,

I am reviewing a lot of the thread as I have been lurking in a frustrating Cable thread for the last few weeks and missed the comments from the likes of Eo, Infinity, etc and pleased to find you guys all contributing such useful knowledge here. I am not an avid user of Ma's but cable's bounce off the convergence on the uptrending H1 35 and 50sma's was remarkable last night.

This is the place for sane and intelligent commentary , Infinity and Eo seem to really know their stuff. EO and Infinity are normally here for the US session so it can be a bit quiet in the morning.

I don't know whether you saw but the first post in this thread has a PDF file with EO trading strategies.

I have started to use more MA's since joining this thread and the results have been amazing

I have had good morning so far I went long EURJPY at 126.188 added at 126.750 I also went long on GBPUSD at 1.3926 and again at 1.3947

Yes, I have downloaded the PDF. Looks good, thanks guys for the work on this document.

Nice work on the longs. I caught a break of the range this morning on cable for 100 pips but closed at 14160. I see a limit in this range and a peak at the 800ema at 14230. We'll see how it plays.

And yesterday night CNBC repeated "House of Cards".
What a shame! It was like a total greed.

And now it's like a punishment for it, isn't it?

Good Morning everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend and had some good trades since we opened. I've had a great weekend and some nice trades as well. Currently flat, waiting for the DOW to open and see how price reacts here at the 15m 35sma.

Hey all, I'm interested to see if anyone has done any goal/target setting for their trading? I remember back in post 81, Infinity posted a great spreadsheet to help calculate based on a percentage (I recall he mentioned he targets 35%/month) and in post 286 EO talks about how he averages 1000 pips per week and usually takes profit on half his position at +50 pips.

I'm interested in anyone else's ideas/targets as I'm looking to set up my own.

My original thoughts are targeting 250/week (ie 50 pips/day). This would allow me to get a reasonable growth to my account (ie improve it slowly) without having to worry about stretching to meet goals. To me, 50 pips/day is a reasonably attainable goal, and as I improve and learn more of the setups portrayed in the thread, I'll be able to ratchet that up (as well as increase my position sizes).

I can see where having too large of a goal/target can also be a detriment, as you'll be inclined to take too many chances, overtrade, etc in an effort to make it to your goal. I'd be interested in others thoughts or plans regarding the trading methodology and target/goal setting.

Thanks.
