A quick scalp trade on the EUR/USD. N2FX I m enjoying your posts and blog very much. I will be following this journal for as long as you are updating. I learn new angles on the markets everytime I read your posts. Your ability to use price action alone makes you leaps and bounds ahead of most traders.

Man I love your chart, it really speaks clearly as I look at it.

I love to tinker with indicators, and I still play around with them as I wait for trade setups.

I spent several years trading from indicators, but after seeing the price setups, I just said, take those and see how it goes.

I am trying to be very careful not to overtrade, because I actually see trades on the 1 minute all the time, so I try to focus on 5/15 minute charts more just to keep me from being to aggressive.

I learned the price action from trading the 1 tick, and even smaller time frames, but those were very dangerous if it failed, so I took my experience and put it into the 3 pairs EU, GU, UJ and watch for typical patterns.

I want to trade longer term stuff like others here at the factory, but with 20-50 pips a day scalping, and my win/loss ratio being nearly perfect, I have a hard time going to anything else.

I do enjoy all the post on this thread from the different traders, it really helps me see things better, and I have a long way to go to be 100% win/loss ratio.

Have a great day.

I think of the GU like this chart.

Keeps going down, but somewhere it will form a higher low, and I will be watching for Longs.

I am not going to trade till mid Asia, but wanted to post a basic chart here before I head out for a few hours.

Looking at the 5 min chart.

Low 1.4355
Last high 1.4366
Last test of low 1.4358 (reference these stalls as range time)

Now the test of 1.4366, see how it responds, will it bounce down again to the low and give us a higher low on the dip??

These are the things that I like more then the fast moves, they become a traders dream of PIPS.

Now that is what I am talking about.

Very very nice bro.

That is a very typical trade on any pair I watch, man, PIPSTER, your chart is perfecto.

Congrats on the CASHO my friend.

Short term trading make more risky
Hello and welcome.

Yea, I think Forex is actually spelled RISK, and these short term trades are risky indeed.

I keep my finger on exit at all times, win or lose, you will know real soon.

Have a great day.

Never worry about taking profits.

I take anything from 1 pip profit, win/loss ratio is very important to me, so I will pull the plug sooner then later.

I do watch inside bars, also the hammer/doji stuff, but I watch more of the sup/res areas with higher/lower candles and breakout/continuation/reversals.

I will watch more of the larger time frame 4hr/Daily for hammer, doji, or what I think is a rejection candle, and the breakout candles.

If I traded every session, I could do very nicely with just that 1 minute setup you did on GU, I would be a little more aggressive on entry though. LOL

There really is alot to look at, but I try to keep it simple on the 1/5/15 minute trends.

1.4370, should dip back to 4360 here during the closing of NY.

I have a small lot trade in at 1.4370, will put a 10 pip target and a 10 pip stop and let it go auto.

Heading to some meetings.

Be back in Mid Asia I hope.

Have a great night.

3 daily bearish candles, now in a retrace (bullish) candle.

I am looking at the move up to find resistance around 92.20, could go to 92.40, but will start to watch for it to stall.

I am short UJ at 92.08.

Will only target the 00 area.

Stop above last 5 minute high at 92.12.

Not sure if were ready for the bigger dip, I see the 92.17-22 area that could still play out.

OK, that was too easy. 2 - 5 minute candles, no drawdown, and +7 pips in 9 minutes.

As usual, trade, post trade live, post picture of trade, exit with profits.

And I spent 1/2 hour scanning forex factory and not finding any indicator or system as easy as just trading the NOW.

I hope someone is getting something, I do not like taking all the CASHO myself.

Waiting for the burst.

Wonder which way the indicator traders will trade it?

I have my entry marked and exit already, just need the small sign to GO.

Let's see it give us some CASHO.

Update: What a BURST.
