trailing stop hit

+80 pips


good job Bea. I struggled with pulling trade at 1.1750 and moving stop. Most of the time I'll trail the stop. But that was a great trade though. no regrets.

A retest of the 1.1640/50 range could be in the works for this week. I'll post chart later as I gotta go back to work.

No trade to take yet because the price could rise more befor the next fall. And were in the middle of the trade range now as the price hovers somewhere close to the 20 day MA depending on what chart your looking at.

Really I need the price to do something befor I can do anything. I am on the sidelines untill the chart speaks to me and tells me whats going on.
Lets just enjoy that last trade for a few and not get over zellous.

I have made much less trades so I waited to do a 2 week update. All numbers when I do this are looked back apon in the thread. Thats the only info I use in my updates.

-26
-35
-21
-16
-98 in losses

+149
+32
+32
+213 in wins

+115 total

I don't usually get a 149 pip win so I call that lucky in those 2 weeks. But I'll take it.

Dave
I was doing a months total and found a mistake. That 149 number wasn't where the trade was exited.

It was where I moved my s/l to. see next post.....

Pulled trade @ 1.7469 for an even +200 pips...

There is no indacation yet to pull out but this is my first 200 pip win ever so I figure might as well secure that mile stone for me.
This was the exit of that trade. (my first 200 pip win)


The total for the month since Nov 1st is ...

+431 monthly total.

At the end of Dec. I will do a 3 month total. And will include a win/loss% for the quarter.

sry I didn't see this post yesterday.

Consumer spending report that came out yesterday at 10:00am EST.

The market is waiting for news to come out tomarrow so its only in a 50 pip range today.

Place an entry order above the high and below the low of today with large stops. But don't do it untill an hour befor reports come out. That way no matter which way the market goes apon realese of the reports your in the move. Judging buy the thin market the move should be huge because its what the world of central banks are waiting for. I really don't even see any stop hunting today.
I'll post more on the times of the reports and the times of placing the entry orders and s/l later after US session is over and a change of the day.

Dave I usually play the unemployment releases and a few others like that, except a little diffrently.

About 5 minutes before release I put long and short orderes in 10 pips away from the high and low and a stop of 10 pips on that trade (i rarely get stopped out) and then just let it trade for itself. Usually add a 15 pip trail if im not monitoring it but I dont like the trailing stops with FXCM, I read some bad things about them and I had one bad expiriance.

I didnt know consumer spending was that important? Hey, are the times of release on this website accurate? Because I looked at charts and couldnt find the main source or anything.

Man Bea that is great, I am glad that my posts and trades are bennificial to those reading. If they weren't then I might as well just keep a paper journal.
One day mabe ten years down the road I'd like to teach and also provide highly accurate tech analisys. And helping you guys make money consistantly is the first baby step in the long journy to being one of the best. I just cann't wait untill I have enough to open a standard account.
First thing every one has to realise is that it takes alot of time like becomming a doctor. Your simply diagnosing the market instead of a person.

Do the japanese call it houshold spending? Cause I still dont see that for Monday when it was released... Only consumer confidence i see is for the Germans. Maybe it was existing home sale the made it dive like that.... they were 7.2 mil project at 7.28?

Ohh wait I see what you are talkin about. No I ment the one on monday, the one that fell 150 pips. We were looken at 2 differnet things. But yes, consumer confidence made it fall about 50 pips.

Thanks

I was at work. At 10:30 EST I checked my trade, moved the s/l and locked in 80 pips it was into 100 pips at that time. Judging by the candles the move was made on the report. Thats all I know.
