Thats a little to risky for me, kind of doubling up the risk factor imo, but thats just me.

I'm just a newbie, but can anyone tell me where I could find an explanation as to why the Thai Baht mini-spiked three times today (15-Mar) at 5:30am, 6:00am, and 6:15am (Pacific) depreciating against the dollar for exactly the same amount?

Was this because orders were transacted at these times by the same investor/bank? (See attachment)

Thanks in Advance.
I cant answer that I do not follow the thai baht currency, I do not think I ever traded Thai currency.

I was about to give a smart arse answer, specifically in reference to "hot thai women" and "bang"-kok. Hehehe. Those three "bangs"....Accompanied with a nice picture reference of "leo beer" thai models("leo beer" is very popular in Thailand, google it). But then...the captain Nightmoves is back, and i dont want to walk the plank....Need to behave myself.

But you've traded thai women before...in all sorts of swaps, spreads(vertical or butterfly), co-tango, and straddle....so, you should be able to give an "ORIENTation" on the matter....heck, your bathroom guy is an oriental.

Nightmoves, my paparrazi guy got a picture of your bathroom roll....

I ran across your thread a few days ago. It's seems like the kind of place I would like to frequent. If you all don't mind.

[quote=[B]Paulette[/b];3552454]Hi Custos,

b. i.e. GBP/JPY (live trade) trade today:
i. Retest of 137.90, S/R level, 50% Fib
ii. Entry below RN, breaking below Asian low
iii. 5min b-p-c , entry was at 137.15
iv. Trade to BE @ +45, currently +105


This results in less trades, less losses and it seems higher R:R... Patience is my challenge – allowing the trades time to develop.
[quote]

Interesting...my entry was at 136.15. D/H4. GBP/JPY. Right after the B-P-C. That is 100 pips after yours.

GBP/AUD is also forming a nice one on D/H4.
Too much indecision in the H4 b-p-c setup. I have to let this one go.

a new trade I got into.
attached is the gpb/aud h1 chart.

gbp/aud broke out of previous uptrend to the downside, now tested 38.2 fib, downtrendline, previous up-trendline, round number and S&R level. I think you can't have more confluence.
Still waiting to get my first target hit. I had a max drawdown of 3 or 4 pips on this trade so far (excluding spread).
R:R would be 7:1, if price hits all my targets.

best regards

haha, I wish I were in that trade. (gbp/aud)
Yeah, I don't know, I start now picking the tougher ones as well, cause more often than not they will reach my first target anyways. I know what you mean, bias is actually down, but I am so much in profit, so I experiment a little around and start taking a few riskier trades. Won't affect my bottom line a lot.

Just to illustrate, a similar trade I took yesterday. Short aud/jpy h1 chart. Actually bias is kind of up on the h4. Reached first tp, stop at break even (nice to make money while sleeping).

I see your point. Very similar to what you just did will be a short USD/SGD on H4 at 1.3977. If i am doing something like that, i can see how i will start overtrading...seeing and taking faulty trades. It doesnt compute with my psychology.

But i respect the agility.

yeah, overtrading is not a good thing. I agree with that. I just wanna get into trading PA (going with the flow) a little more. As long as most of them work out I will start taking more of them. I actually log those kind of trades in now and created a separate equity curve just for those to objectively see if I am trading proper PA setups with decent returns, or if those riskier types are adding more to my losses than to my wins.
Once the losing trades would take out my winning trades I will of course stop with those riskier trades, however right now it works out just fine.
