Eoh
you need to do 2 things for you to be worth that much....

1) stop the ball going into the NET
2) and be able to PUT the Ball in the opposition NET..

and you have it made......and also look PRETTY !!!!

Well, I'm afraid I don't fit that description! How much does the waterboy get paid? I could qualify for that.

We'd have cocktails and Bob at the half!

No but if you figure it out ,,I would like to know how you did it..
I just keep jumping in the trade...even i can not wait the candle to close,and already see how it will close in my favour...but most of the time it turns against me...
Today morning we had a nice run up on GU, and i kept trying to go against the trend..We had at least 5 hammers on the M15 so i sold all the time and always stopped out, because i ignored the higher TF trend...
This week many times i was in profit, but i did not book at least half of my position, waiting for the big moves...of course i stopped out at BE...Things like that...

my advice,you already answered it.......as you are Learning...when you take a trade look at 2 HTF from the one you are pulling triggers..

so 15 min......look at 1hr and 3Hr/4 hr ..

I have a question her, if this 6hr candle closes within the wick of the previous candle could we not look at that as a short signal? Please advise.

Thanx, mine is nearly the same, i just misunderstood...
Anyway this week has not been good for me, thanx for my impatience ...Anyone hasa good idea how could i discipline myself???
Here's a plan that worked for me tell all your friends family everybody that you know that you are trading and you know what is going with trading then set up a demo account.

Finally publish your trades on http://www.mt4stats.com/
so everybody can see, this will stop you from being indisciplined immediately, because people can see your results you will take a lot of extra care before placing a trade, just they way should when trading live.

Stick to strict money management and you cannot go wrong

i will let Infinity or Eoh to answer,as they trade 15 min TF....
For me there will be no SHORT....as i am LONG from the London session...i will wait for a reversal Candle and than go down to LTF for possible triggers and confirmation...
i mainly trade HTF only...

Think of this! Just because you have a bad trade, it doesn't mean your a bad person same goes if you have a good trade. It doesn't mean your a good person. Trading is nothing personal. We take a position, know our R:R and let it happen. The market doesn't move against you just because you've gotten into the trade. Sometimes the setup's fail, that doesn't mean your a failure!
