Yes , thanks Paul , same from me .
OK no problems, like I said yesterday you learn so much from posting them, even when the day is lousy - who cares about showing the hash you made of it, if it speeds up the process of getting to the end game - also people are very very genrous here in giving advice and really good comments. You won`t find more genuine guys.

Hello to All and specialy to Feb!

By now you must be used to it but I'll say it anyways: Thanks so much for sharing so much!!!

I have done many demo trades trying to follow this system and most of them continue to lose. I want to start trading it very badly but... Please comment on my last 3 trades. I really need help!!!

Thanks!!!
welcome to the thread,
the first thing i see right off the bat is that all those trades are in the late stage of the ride alltough they all are valid 123.. but simply they are not the first opportunity to get on the ride rather 2nd or 3rd.. so more risk of getting fakedout toped/bottomed off..
so, please refer to post 4734..
then let me know where your at and we worked out for you..

Good Luck.

Hi Mac,

I will let FX answer this one more fully, but essentially there are no rules of thumb, in the runner I was just playing expectancy - looking to make sure price was moving along in the right direction in a "reasonable time", the price kept on truckin so I held with it (not easy in fact) and I simply closed on the break of the first FCR which got taken out to the downside.

For the other question I would post a chart it is easier to see.
Mac.. I second that.

nice explanation Paul L.. with capitol P.

ok.. as you all see price has been stalling for the past hour and half in a range of 10 pips and bracket has been formed..
you also see price went through some range time during asian session and brokeout long out of a bracket about two and half an hour ago.. that breakout was your first opportuinty to get on this long ride..
so since is bracket again i treat it as that and have set my two orders on oppostit sides.. bracket is small only 10pips long so if it breaks out and fakes you only lose 12 pips then you other order is triggered to be in the new ride.. but hopfully it breaksout and countitues..

anyways that how i am playing this..

enox my bro.. positive thinking.. you remember two days ago what happend right after your positive thinking post.. yes a 200pip runner..

so my point.. its all mental after certain maturity level is passed in one's trading career.. so if your not there yet.. then simply practise acting like it and soon enough you'll get there..
keep things simple.. stay intact with what you been learning here and it won't hurt if you stick to the daily recipe.. (it's my first post of the day)

good luck..

I'm short at 4568, how it won't go south.
I tried to tell you this yesterday.. but you said you know it already.. so no big deal lesson learned in the hard way..
shake it off and get ready for the next ride..

PS) you need your spread of 2.5+ 2-3 ticks + buffer from you belowed broker.. so your order should be about 6-7 pips above/below the line..
