A lot of fierce sharks swimming during NY session .. safer to trade in Asian and London.
I think its down to timing issue. I found Asian to be very slow on intraday.

since how many years are you using this strategy

and are you really consistent with the results

what is your profit percentage
I`ve used this on a demo for arround 3-4 months and the proffit was very good due to the move up cabble did from 4200ish(that`s when i started)

I`m doing it live since monday... separate broker/account(only deposited 450$ with the ideea that i can add money instantly if i get close to margin call or w/e) but the result`s should not be condered yet as i cought most of the upmoves right. Now the account balance is 976$.(floating p/l 60$ tho)

I was only asking if anyone else ever tried this.... i`m not risking my account trading like this and i don`t care if it gets to 0$ balance.

I`ll remeber to post here is the live test fails. Promise.

I only see bernanke right now and weekend close
Sure, I'm talking about Monday, today would be great but I doubt it. NEver know with freaky Friday and Bernanke LOL.

I have downloaded and looked at the indi you are using, which settings are you using and is that a 13 EMA?

Cheers

get down to demo and learn to scalp 5 min charts

believe me it earns far more than i thought it could

you should just know when to enter and when to simply exit
can you show us a trade setup?

Hey everyone...

The market is following a nice downtrend channel on the 15m chart today. Entered short at 1.6555 (first yellow circle) after we got the nice bounce which is now the top of the major trend channel (blue line). My first TP (50%) was at the bottom of the minor trend channel (purple line), and second TP (remaining 50%) at the bottom of the major trend channel. So got a nice move there.

I've now entered long at the bottom of the major trend line (1.6395). Looking to take half again at the top of the minor trend line and the rest at the top of the major trend line if we get there. Not expecting much on longs though in a strong downtrend, but it is Friday and SL is at BE anyway. Will be looking for an opportunity to short again at the top of the major trend line though, or a break of the bottom trend line.

As long as we are getting good bounces off these lines I'm not worried. Hope you guys have an awesome weekend

He probabily lost his account...

I also found that it`s much better to start with a v small account, when you grow that small one you can add more...

If you lose it open another small one and so on.... untill you can make pips, after that money will start adding up... no point losing 3.000$ when you can only lose 300... or even less... all that it matters is that you are on live.(on demo you tend to care less or not at all if you lose, at least that`s what happend to me)

Well folks, you all have a great weekend!

I'm gonna go scan the classifieds to see what jobs are available for crippled old carpenters....

Should be a lot in the current job market I'd think........

HI All,

4H with Bollinger (and yesterday divergence on it) shows down trend to (might) continue. The same with 15Minuts S&P500 and DowJhons...are sloping down

Just a thought

While I am waiting for the range to tighten, to play a break, I will try to play a bounce at the trendline 1.6400.

Will trade if it hit 1.64 and bounce up.
