Quoting Larseg
Sounds like you are trading stocks Chicky But then again if you have a big account 5% can be massive

20-30% is really good for me, I am not complaining But I would love to get it consistent to 40% and then leave 20% every month...

But again it all comes down to spend less i guess...
Larseg, I really don't know how to make more than 4-5% a month. Yes, a couple of times managed about 15% but gave some of it back.

Now trying to take only good r/r trades on bigger timeframes (minimum Daily) with tp of 300 to 500 pip and sl 100 to 300 pips. Maybe this helps.

watch out for the Zew data in one hour...that should determine the trend until the US session and possibly a break out of the 1.4765-1.4815 range

I have been looking for a top for this pair both technically and fundamentally for this pair for months. Technically....there is a high potential now for a reversal in the classical double top. Note that there is one on the smaller time frames (see 1hour chart) where at this point in time the 1.4765 area is a major decision level.

Attachment

In other words if we break this area...1.4736 is just a temporary stop on the longer path down. Not to mention....this double top on the hourly could be a trigger for an even bigger double top...
glad to see your back.. i looked yesterday and saw your last post was in the summer..i wondered if all was ok..

yes you gave it back.. and you know why... you dont cut losses when you mentally know you should. you let good trades turn bad.. now the cure is to stop doing it.. a bird in the hand is better then a thousand in the bush..

I was not trying to imply you had a mental problem just thought it might be a mental barrier, if you can make 30% easily and then are up and down after that it may be a barrier...mentally.
You are right, one way it can be a mental problem as you get bored being a habit trader, so you/I want to place some random trades which is proven to be a 95% failure rate just ask the bookers... for revenge trading etc.

I think my question was a bit poorly asked... as always...
Let me try again...

As some of you know I have been trading stocks for several years (this is my main income) in the stock market there have been one thing I learned which changed my way of trading completely...

A trader told me "no one can make a good monthly salary by trading all the time" and I didn't think about it that much until I made graphs of all my results and trades... it's going up and down (more up than down but still down)...

By looking at these graphs I realized, I am taking trades with similar setup all the time which I know is going to fail because adapting to the market is the hardest thing... Making money for 1-4 months is easy, the problem is when the methods fail... But you all know this...

So what I did was trading less, even if my setups were ready I didn't trade... Why? Because I would like to see the system reach a 70% winning ratio on the last 50 trades and go hard in (5% risk) for 10 trades (normally I win on 6-7 of them). This is why I have several systems I just monitor without trading them, after my trades for that particular stock I leave it for 1-2 months... Remember this is in the stock market... But I am having a hard time doing this in the FX market as there aren't enough crosses to trade compared to 1000's of stocks....

Just wondering if anyone is doing something similar in the FX market...
Or maybe I should just figure it out myself

Fed Bank of St Louis President James Bullard said yesterday that falling unemployment is a precondition for an increase in the interest rate. Given that the average work week is down to historic lows and that the number of open jobs is also at historic lows does not bode well for unemployment. I’m continuing to expect a weak dollar.

this is true. but at some point the decline in exports by ez will trump this. where that point is is anyones guess. unemploment in u.s. will amplfy it in ez (and all exporters) as time goes on. this fact is never mentioned in main stream media.

Should test 90.50 shortly..
Option traders saying , that there are relatively large 90.50 vanilla option expirations today, mostly at the NY cut. Some specs could be doing some USDJPY buying on the back of these positions, thus the grind higher that we have seen in Asia today.

i am already short and i am quite confident that 1.4765 will break down today.

And specialy after such news for EUR ... that move up by EUR was logical so they have softer place to land otherwise we would be standing now on 1.4740 or smth..
