I've taken 30 off and now with +3 on my shorts. My longs are still working as well. Marching soldiers into soldiers. Gotta love it...

Don't you just love it bro? We're up very nicely and how big was the drawdown again? I think maybe the spread....

EO, do you enter multiple positions so you can take some off or does your platform allow you to close a percentage off?

Nice chart bro! I was about to mention that area at the bottom of the channel... It could very well be the next target area if we get past the h1 50/62

I enter multiple lots on one order and close out at certain intervals. For example. I still have 3 marching long, originally had 6, I have 3 left marching short, originally had 6. Before the current 15m candle closed, I had 4 marching short still, took one more off so now I have 3 against 3. I hope this doesn't confuse you.

A normal person would be I am working on my premature removal issue..

I have only been trading your style since Wed. Up over 300 so far.. But learning.. Probablly left that much on the table too. But it will get better . My pip per trade is climbing.... Again many Thanks ,,for all the effort.. I don't have so much a goal but more just trading hours and take what I see.. But if I did my goal would be met. ( pay the bills with a bit left over )

Ps. On your world tour plan a one night layover in SOUTH BEACH , I would love to party with you all...
Good Trading To All ; Ken Lee

I was thinking the same bro, but with the prior weekly candle, I don't know if she'll go that low. Although, if she did get to the 4200 area for a close on the weekly. This weekly and last weekly combined puts us indecisive still. Fine for me!

Hey EO what charting platform are you using? I just started looking over your pdf, and have been trying to trade of the 15m pin/doji/pa/hangman reversal. Just trying one strategy of yours to get comfortable. Any suggestions, I keep rereading your pdf to make I am observing as you would.

Thanks the way I see it 200 pips a day at £2 a pip 8K a month. I am currently risking 0.5 % of my account per trade so when the knowledge and confidence improve I will increase the lot size
