Sorry bro, we had to get that close on the m15 under 6759. I'm wishing I still had my long position myself atm.

I know, but I was warning everyone to be cautious of taking a long position. In order for price to break the line in the sand to me, it has ti either close across it, or shoot across it like a shooting star

I have about 3 zinger trades per week I'll post near the end of the US Session that have the potential of 100+ pips with very little draw down....

just out of interest whats the success rate of those trades? by the way if i remember correctly in december you were moving to 6 or 8 lots, have you gone much further? is it more pressure?

  • Aug 6, 2009 1:30pm Aug 6, 2009 1:30pm
I had gone long again .. Difference being I am now covered and =2 with 20 pips. Still not covered on the E/J though.. But the 62 has held thus far.

Edit.. Now covered at a 11 stop to BE on E/J

It feels good to know you have profits no matter what ..

Had I been looking at the 1H, I'd probably have gone long like in my previous post. "I" changed my mind buddy, not you....

I agree! This fits right in line with our m15 35/50's. That could be the zinger trade right there. Solid PA on the close across the m15 35 to send her down not to return to.

I'm not sure what the success of those trades are. I don't keep track. I have passed the 8 lots went to 10 and had an emotional issue with it, so I went up to 12 and that's taken away from the emotions. I don't know why, for some reason I was pulling out too soon and SL's too tight. I don't always go with a full 12. I have a set percentage I'm willing to risk on each trade, so depending upon where my SL needs to be, helps me determine how many lots I'm putting on. I think the round number 10 had me freaked out for some odd reason. This time last year I had just moved up to 5 lots. Amazing how things progress over a year's time.

Depending upon where my account is at come the end of August/Sept I will probably be moving back down in lot size to the 8. I've not taken payment out of my account since January and it's time I do so. I need some new shoes!

I would like to see 4355 (m15 21) hold EU. Otherwise, we'll see the m15 35 which is right at your SL.
