Silent Service Method

Don't stress it too much. If you're uk based most of the major trading sessions of the day will be over by 8pm gmt so you could take your trades from that candle. Just make sure to put a good stop loss on it, 200 pips minimum, make a good position for yourself and give it room.

Or this...

I have to say this is one of my fav songs ever, call me twisted...

Or this, defo twisted, I just really LOVE this though...

Am not sure why you wait for trades...instead it should be....let the trades come to you. As Clockwork71 said...if this is what you are doing, you need to think about you trading career because it will be very short, like mine almost did become short..........

I am now starting to take the Daily Charts very seriously and using them to give me signals then use the 4-hr as an entry...that is use Daily Charts as my set-up chart and 4-hr is my trigger chart...here is a very good example of the GBPUSD.............

Note the Daily PB on the dotted red line and light blue marked area on the 1.6200 whole number, and just then i knew we are going up.....so i highlighted that area and move down to the 4-hr and guess what...i got a very good entry using a 2-day PB...with a manageble S/L and 3:1 R:R.......unfortunately i did not take this trade live because i was already long on another GBP pair and my small account can not allow me to risk two trades at the same time so i took it off my demo...and it went to my demo T/P............

All i am saying is, i STOPPED LOOKING FOR TRADES instead i wait for THEM TO COME TO ME..............so that i can avoid seeing trades that are NOT even there...........

Ok, one more... Are you scared of me yet?

might be interesting if it closes outside...

TP hit, 400 pips.
First trade after I decided to forget about 4h TF.
Check charts once a day, single lot entry and single lot exit.
KISS
Thanks CW: teaching not only a technique but a trading/living phylosophy.

Phew, just finished updating my online trading journal with the last 12 trades. I was very fussy with documenting my trade setups, management and the result but the last ones I missed out a bit because other programming and schematic stuff kept me really busy. Have to do this more on time from now on.

Hell no. I was more metal back in the day, one of my favorite covers was Laaz Rokkit doing "Holiday".....love that tune.

Took you suggestion about BGG, with some shares...
Today they rocketed 7%
My SL is at BE now.
As I am unable to draw clear S&R lines, I decided to set my TP below FIB 50%.
Any different ideas?
Thanks!

Worth doing though, take screen shots if you don't already.

Ok, heaven forbid but if you ever get single look me up... An intelligent man with my sense of humour and taste in music... Ooooh... It has to be said I still do dig a wolfman too x x x

Is that off topic?

Not right now, and my charts aren't signals.....trust me on that. Congrats though.

I wouldn't be here if that was the case.
Thanks .

Each setup has a weekly chart and the entry chart included and each trade management note which require a chart for explanation has one too. I installed a forum on my webserver for that purpose which has 58 posts of my trades so far. Don't worry, each trade can have multiple posts, the times where I fired 200 trades a month are finally over.

For those using MT4 I have again a nice util, just unzip it to something like "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader - Hippy Dippy Broker" and restart your MT4. Afterwards you will have a script named "Save Screenshot" in your scripts node in the navigator window.

Following parameters are available for customization. The parameter TargetDir requires modification unless your username is not "USER". This unfortunately requires opening the MetaEditor and making the changes and compile the script again.

Set to true if the filename should be prefixed with the account name. Note that if you upload screenshots you should avoid displaying this to others
extern bool IncludeAccountName = false;

Set to true if the filename should be prefixed with the account number. Note that if you upload screenshots you should avoid displaying this to others
extern bool IncludeAccountNumber = false;

Set to true if the screenshots should be sorted into subdirectories with the symbol name
extern bool SymbolDirectory = true;

Select one or more character(s) which to use to separate the components of the filename
extern string Separator = "-";

Adjust this path to the destination where you want the screenshots copied to. The folder will be created if it does not exist. If this directory is blank the screenshots will be left in the expertsfiles folder.
extern string TargetDir = "C:\Documents and Settings\USER\My Documents\Trades";

Width of the image in pixels
extern int Width = 1024;

Height of the image in pixels
extern int Height = 768;

You also can trust me that the library is not some piece of danger or spy purpose. I tried first to move the file with the MoveFileEx function from kernel32.dll but could not get rid of the execution error 127 ??? Google says that a possible reason could be a _cdecl instead of a _stdcall but afaik standard windows libraries are _stdcall. So I decided to write my own move function instead. An external library is required to move the file because MetaTrader file access is limited to expertsfiles, testerfiles and the history folder.

I like that... There are only a few people who expose their trading to public view. Most notably whitegoodman, his posts make sense and he is honest. I might look into putting my trading account online. It's a big step as it forces you to practice what you preach but if you are talking rubbish online you'll soon be exposed.

I might rethink that previous post, I would be very dissapointed if you're a "little richard"!

Maybe that only works in British English?

Either way I'm very pleased with my trading results and you are not the standard 'guru' so while the sun is shining i'm going to make hay.

Well done anyone who took the eurcad short. I left it as it looked a bit messy but hindsight makes me wrong! It's always a good thing to be wrong as you can learn so much from it!
