F4's Journal

Blanca and Carlito thanks for your posts.

You're both very disciplined which is what I'm working on and your posts are a big help.

Blanca your after trade posts are great and I sure DON'T doubt your trades. Like Carlito says it might be difficult to post 1 minute trades live.

hi, first scalp of the day, stop 01 pips target 10 pips, this has been easy +10 pips here is the chart.

hi,

first trade break of pivot, carlito you did very nice in the previous one, but signal was exactly at pivot so it made you suffer before it performed and also bounced on ribbon too near, not good for me but you did it well.

and target hit, +40

a little scalp with exit at pivot point +8 , was afraid of the pivot reject so id din't keep the trade too long....

hi carlito,

in your second signal you had the same trade like in the first, signal exactly at pivot, in fact you were rejected two times before it went up, you can see it clearly in your chart cci crossed back zero two times, again i did not take it, again you did well.

end of the day:

-8
-10
+35

total for the day +57 pips.

hi blanca,i knew that the pivot would get me into trouble , today again fine trades on 5 minute time frame (they happen most of the time when you take your "deep pullback trades" on 1minute time frame), i hope i will trade it soon, if we add 1 minute trades to 5 minute trade , even on quiet pair like euro we can have a lot of opportunities.....
for the moment my primary goal is to have a positive result at the end of each week, even if it is a few pips, i want to wake up every monday with a grown account week after week, there is still a lot of work to do to reach that for me.......trading is such a difficult business....

Shoot...Blanca I meant to say that I sure DON'T doubt the live trades that you post after the fact!!!

dont worry poocher i understood it very well, i sometimes miss words sometimes,lol english is not my native language and carlito you are doing excellent i am sure you will get your goals very soon. enjoy this evening, bye.

loser this morning -12 pivot reject but i think it can break it will try it again

same trade but this time waited the prices break the pivot line, didn't work although...-12 again

hi,

i took the same one you did, today is not easy, usually fridays in london is slow, just we need to be there i think, lol.

-12
+5

Hi Blanca
I have followed this thread from the beginning and do like the ribbons you use. I noticed a while back you offered help in applying them to the charts. I have read alot of Flamenco and John Edwards posts but would like to know which ribbons indi you are using. There are so many different versions that Kino and others have generously given it is confusing. Could you post yours here along with any settings please. I can then try them out for myself. I don't need spoonfeeding and will happily research them but any further info you feel might help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

next one

+10, target hit, still very slow session.

i got back my money, classic set up exit on fibo projection of yesterday's range +24 i am breakeven for the day lol

was not in front of my screen so i missed this one.........you can see the 2 exits at fibo projections.....i go to the beach this afternoon, will trade again next week lol

hi,

you know carlito i missed the same one you did, its because it the same trade of the target in pivot that retraced a little and then kept going that is the reason, it is in fact one trade with a chance of reentry i guess.

here i took the next one :

+15
+16
+7


sure i will post the ribbons with parameters also i can tell you by what i´ve seen is that they are support and resistances, in which the market bounce, break, returns, rests, travel. like a highway maybe, in fact the first ribbon could be susbstituted by 10sma, they are 1min, 5min, 15min and 30min, when they all agree then is safer.

Yes I still trade the original FX Prime (with the slight modifications f4 and I made so many years ago). I did get off of this for awhile (stupidly - if you have something that pays why go somewhere else?) but now I'm back!

I've never found (but this is me alone!) that any additional indicators I've seen added so frequently really told me anything new or important enough to make a decision to pull the trigger or not.

The only thing I changed recently was adding the bbMACD in the same window as the QQEV5.

So grateful f4 has continued his belief (as have others) in this system and has kept this thread alive!

just practicing, these signals are inside ribbons so just for fun, getting ready for tommorrow.
