now the other way, this entery is based on break of the first fractal.. its a bit too risky but its worth a shot but must be dicsipline enough to exit the trade if its a quick turn around and excapt the loss..

I had the chance to exit this trade at breakeven couple of times.. but i did not because i like the way price broke through the fractal.. so i decided to stay with the trade and see if it makes a L/H... now it has and my stop is moved lower accordingly.. now I wait to see if it will breaks lower.. if it dosen't and price stalls shapes up I most likley will exit around my entery.. now i am watching it like a hawk..

ok.. at this point i will exit bcz.. expectancy= price must go your way in a reasonable time, rhythm and speed.. none of that is happening in this particular trade.. so i rather exit at breakeven or small loss and set a sell order for the reall brearish breakout if its destain to happen..

No indi's budd, we do not use crutches in here.. all lines drawn manually by myself. your job is to read the market with your naked eyes. Try to spot swings, pullbacks, L/H H/L and go from there.

Hi Rock,
we try not to get cut up on counting pips.. instead we try to practise our trade expactancy and improve that skill.. and then proftability will follow.. bottomline goal is the $$$$ not pips.
I know I have done so myself in my past posts but after febs suggestions a few times it sunk in for as I understood why.
Practise expectancy, watch the R:R, spead the load accordingly, you be on your way to taste success.

good trading to all.

I am here guys!!
Just that there's no much to say lately.

Many of you have digested the idea already. I 've seen a lot of progress on all of you who stick to the idea of thinking outside the box.

Please don't hesitate if you have any questions!

Good Karma!!
Hi Feb, Happy to hear from you

Thanks for your thread. It's great good simple system & effective but only sometime have big SL (that's only the problem)
One more thing if I found this thread 7 months ago I didn't have to waste my time to read 'trading in the zone' coz this thread explain every thing in real life.
hope you have a good health & good karma too

Definitely it's not a secret, but to be frankly ... I don't know because I have stopped counting them.
Taking about dozen of trades a day, ... everyday it comes to many, many pips, some negative, but mostly positive, at the end of the week I can assure you, it's a very, very nice profit.

OMG this is off topic but everyone should know this.

A major new NFA rule goes into effect after July 31, 2009 which affects all US regulated Forex Dealer Members. Forex traders will no longer have the ability to place stop-loss or limit orders. Nor will traders be able to modify or close trades from the Open Positions Window. As these features will be removed, all stop-loss and limit orders held on FXCM LLC accounts at the close of trading on July 31, 2009 will be deleted.

That is a message I got from my broker today, WTF IS THIS?!?!?!

Why would they do this this will mess up a lot for a lot of people including me.. new we have to babysit our trades... if we can...

what are your views on this??

sorry its off topic but it it really important >.>

My "screen time" usually starts around Sydney open and goes until mid of New York session.
It's a lot of hours, ... but fortunately during the first few hours of the Sydney and Tokyo sessions, there isn't much going on.
The real trading begins before London open and continue when London overlaps with New York session.
I'm concentrating my "scalping" activity only to EUR/USD (... for now ...)
But on the longer time-frame (daily) I'm looking for trade opportunities with all the major pairs.
Combination of all crosses between: AUD, CAD, CHF, EUR, GBP, NZD, JPY and USD; all together 28 pairs.
