Hi All,

Here are today`s trades which number some six in total, I made a few errors like a late entry but still made a profit.

Notably the second trade I took a later FCR rather than the earlier one which would have made me more and made it faster .

Thanks for the commentary FX, very much appreciated.

Any comments welcome, see you all tomorrow.

you are a little toomuch hung up on details.. paying too much attention to details and other factors other than pure price action in 5m timeframe will lead you to missed opportunities.. analysis paralysis.. predictions and extra expectations are out the window.. simply put, each break could be the one.. we take almost all of them in here.. can't pick and choose toomuch.. you will endup getting all the nasty fakeouts and no runners.. its a fact.. I been there done that..
enteries are a way to test the market.. IF and THEN.. we spread the load...

Hey dude...

Enjoyed hearing your story. I think I speak for everyone when I say that shit is inspiring. Your make-up sounds very similar to mine (which is encouraging for me). Most people shake there heads at me and wonder why I take suck huge risks sometimes. Hmmm... its worked so far... career wise... trading wise i have been a loose cannon in the past though!

At 19/20 i dropped out of engineering and spunked a 20k loan in the ASX options market (after some initial windfall gains ... of course) then managed to weasel my way into a stockbroking job off the back of that knowledge / experience... then again weaseled my way into a job as an FX dealer then a professional FX trader (had to move to a new country for it though). Now manage all risk for one of the biggest Australasian fx brokers now. I feel like i've squeezed 10 years of stress into 2 years now at 23... but trading profitably is becoming second nature now - and hopefully making some good wedge personally is just around the corner.

All your help/encouragement is appreciated.

Cheers.

Nice work Paul... I like looking through your trades and observing your decision making process. Actually follow your trades pretty closely.

Cheers

Goodmorning Guys,
It don't get anymore bracket than this at the moment.. good god.. so hopefully it will take off one way or another.. be sure your on the ride..

Paul,
nice job with your trades.. you take every break and use solid expectancy decisions. for newbies and others take note.

Ari,
nice success early on.. stay humble and greatful.
at 23 I was still looking for sugar mamas.. lol


Ok lets see what's in store for us today.. but whatever it is we will make the best out of it.. we will take our shots when we spot it without hesitation.. then go to work to manage the shit out of it with our canoned expectancy skill.. and won't ever complain about market behaviour nor try to figure out its next move but rather stay close to the PA as our best indicator guide..
-if its super range we do are best to survive..
-if its semi range we do are best to survive and make some $$
-if its a nice up and down movment and trendish we make sure we don't miss any opportunites and get in the ride at the first chance and bank at maximum as possible to make mega bucks $$$$..

lets do it..

stay patience .. price is stalling at the moment.. you got not much to lose at worst 5pips.. RR in your favor.. the odds of probability is on your side for the price to go higher..

too premature.. train your eyes to see the logical one's.. for now the break of 4292 is a indication of a price reversal or one being created in between..

good recongnition..
expectancy should have saved you from the false breakout.. lack of speed and rhythm.. thats why i exited.. now you got inhand just a bigger bracket = chopp monster..
so.. wait for it to jam up or new fcr to be created in between..

guys,
I want to point out something very simple but super important and powerful.. and thats the hope and wish factor
if you are still in the long trade after that bracket breakout.. at this moment your not depending on anything but Hope and Wish that price will go back up your way.. and that sort of feelings is poisen to your trading arsenal regardless of the out come.. stay away from it..
