I closed it at 127.4.

Long would be because of 15m flat close followed by inverted hammer
(but I didn't take it..)
Maybe you will see enough of those setups to take it soon.

I'm still thinking of the best question to ask you!

I have copied it to my word document. But I'm asking me why you don't draw s&r lines.

I don't use S/R on the m15, only my HTF, h1, h4, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi annual and yearly

Same as The Captain closed to early !!
I broke even as the trade went against me.

I would have been ok if I traded more lots then I could cover my self,
at the moment when a trade gets into positive I move my s/l to break even,so basically I am getting stopped out a lot.
I cannot trade smaller lots, and dont want to risk,of trading more lots.
Well at the moment anyway.

ok EO...a while ago (i think round thanksgiving) you have me some crazy ridiculous number of pips that you had made for the week. I was up like 400 and you had something like over 2000. I have been on a mission since then to get to that point or at least close to it. I can't believe how compounding has made such a difference.

In case i haven't told you before, thanks for all your help and encouragement. Even though i'm running my own system, i think it's important to have people around you that "see the light" inspite of my blinders.

Dak, it's always a pleasure to trade with you. You're system works for you and DON'T change it. I'm glad that I was able to provide some MA's that you've incorporated. As to the pippage, well, yes there have been weeks that I've cleared over 2K pips in a week, but that's when I'm trading 2 pairs London and US. In all honesty, I could just trade 1 day, 1 trade per week and be done.

Anyone trading the mistress, better go look at your h1's and tell me what do you see? If you tell me it looks nothing like the m15 chart I posted, please leave.
