Took a short off of the 15min pin (EJ) that had also bounced off the 1hr 62 closed for +20 when it hit the 21MA before that took bounces off of various MA's on both the GU and EJ - so far today +100

well on the balance of evidence you had a shooting star wiht small bottom wick last 1h up against the 1h 5, 4h 5 and 50, 15m 21 and large trendline breakout, so it's not suprising who won that battle.

I must just say that after months studying this system and finally "getting it" I am really enjoying trading again and wondering how I didn't get it before There are just so many pips to be had trading like this, and not just pips, if I told you the percentage my account has risen over the last couple of weeks nobody would believe me so I won't bother, but its great, thanks EO and everyone else here

Actually the traders that DO GET IT on the thread would believe you as EO has stated he goes for 20% a week increase and normally gets that mid week. That was just trading the Cable add the E/J to the mix which has bigger moves normally and you could easilly double that. I am still not holding for what I should But trading around 3% maybe a bit more But not 5% I am averaging 20 % a day scalping. Now to just get that first 100 pipper under my belt.. Then watch out. But I trade all three sessions. So not the same as other people Like trading 3 weeks to 1.

well done. There's a large psychological element involved--you can have this great system yet still not "get it" for a while--but once it all blends in and doubts are cast out then you're on your way. Continued success I hope

I would like to trade all 3 sessions, but for the moment I have a job that keeps me away from all of them at some point, hopefully for not too much longer though. What actual times do you trade, because they tend to overlap some?

1:30 am till 4:30 am then 8:00 am till 9:00 pm Not solid might take lunch off and a couple hrs in the afternoon depends on how the price is moving and if I can stay focused.. Sometimes during Asia I don't get anything Kinda family time. But do check it computers always on. You can see in those charts I posted yesterday and today leading into the asian session some pretty easy trades.. That lead to a larger asian open trade. That is evening time US. Just trade when you can be focused that is what is great about this thread something for almost anytime.

Thats awesome well done, always great to hear others making a success. Although I'm only new hear i really like the attitude of this thread, no negativity and bs which is great and everyones as helpful as possible so thanks loads guys.

The other thing that strikes me about trading in this way is that you can progress along through the various setups....something for everyone

WTF are you talking about?

I've even asked Bob and he can't make it out!

So, let me give it a stab, your saying that there is a strong trend, whichever way your biased, long or short, and our willingness to go against your bias is wrong....

But when its established a trend you can play a different game by taking bounces off the MA's in the direction of the trend like I have been doing all morning here.

I can't speak on his behalf entirely, but I'm pretty sure he just uses different TP's with different setups. Something you, I, and everyone else (including EO himself) has to work on and work out on a day to day basis. There generally isn't a lot of risk:reward ratio talk... just talks about good setups on the horizon.

Aside from the point, if someone else and myself took the same trade with they bagging 100 pips and me cutting out early at 10 I would still be happy. +10 beats -(10+spread) any day!
