I see a bit move coming on dragon soon as UJ cannot keep falling, mind you I think that cable could go up to 1.68 169 as well but could easily go to 1.58, seems amazing considering how bad the UK economy is doing that cable is where she is
yup agreed. It does look like it can go as far as 6895 level. But I won't count on it. I'm gonna short again next week.
Thank You

I see that some of us are having issues covering. EO addressed this a bit in a earlier post. I just want to remind everyone when we enter trades a lot of times we are at areas of Conflict. We believe it is turning there we have a signal. But the conflict isn't over just yet . So price bounces around can even spike way above our entries. This can cause us to get stopped out . The more conservative we are the greater the chance. But as the chart shows that isn't the end of a trade it is just another element.

I think a good rule of thumb would be like the 35/50 cross trades. A 35 pip move away from the area could mean the conflict is over and it is now save to move our stops. But you could cover earlier because if you take 1/2 your trade off you can double the distance to BE. All this is a personal choice of course. Most the better traders here take a min amount off just to offset the cost of entering the trade.

Also I personnally monitor my trade and if I get a close above that MBL line I might close my trade before my stop.

As far as closing a trade completely we have to learn to leave some on to allow us to reap the gains we want.. Entry with mulitple orders is a must that way we can scale out without having to change our settings. One thing I know that happens is just like the getting stopped to soon . Is that conflict that is happening at those arreas we have to understand price is going to bounce around But as EO said if we read the charts and signs correct the precentages are in our favor. So trust in your choices. Until you gain unwavering trust. maybe take most of it off but leave a small amount on till you see that your chosing the right entries.

The key to all this is your confidence. Until you are making the choices and reading the charts for yourself you will remain uncomfortable and can cause you to make bad choices. That is why it is better to use what the guys here post to confirm what you have on your charts not use it to trade all the time . It is the only way to learn.

Hope you are all having a great weekend. Ken

Morning everyone.. I am embarking on a new project. When I started in this thread I came from scalping and lower time trading. It took a long time to realize that my view was skewed 180 degrees out. Then all the posting of charts that I did confirmed that issue. I was looking at low time first and maybe not seeing the whole picture at all. So to correct that I am putting all of the trading Ideas from this thread into a more actual flowing pattern . As usual I am doing this for myself but I am sharing with you as well. I like having something to read to reaffirm what I should be doing. Having that information in the right sequence will be a great help.

I also would really like some input as my greatest fear is to present the wrong information and mislead someone. So please chime in if (when) you see errors in my though process.

Hi Ken...

You look like a man on a mission

just my small input.. I have a microsoft office word file which I copy paste your charts, descriptions and valuable posts into..
Maybe you could use office word as your doc format?
Whatever you decide I for one will take the time to digest..
