Scalpng addiction, there are centers that can help you but as long as you are winning who cares, just keep gathering the pips..

Rationally you are right. Still working on the SL parameters though. It may also degrades my well-earned discipline on patience.

Anyways, anyways, back to trading...enough with the whining...

haha, yeah, news are a dangerous thing. These days I don't like trading news that much, just sometimes, when it coincides with a technical setup

thanks, but small comfort.

Nailing almost to the pip all those reversal points today alone on NZD/USD( bullish 0.7000), EUR/USD(bullish 1.3471), gbp/jpy(bullish:134.00, bearish:134.97, bullish:134.60, ) doesnt help that much.

You poisoned my thought process with precision trades:trend and counter-trend.

Any liability incurred from overtrading will be surcharge to you, CUSTOS.... sign your soul below the fine print
haha, yeah, those freaking precision trades! haha soon you are gonna trade the 1 minute chart (let's hope not).

No +40 was it, then it took me out as I thought the retrace might be on its way - moves sl too just above RN and just as well - retraced all the way back up with a little interest and now looks like breaking down again...

Hey, to those who trades GBP/NZD, shahroor and yunero, it seems our beloved GBP/NZD fails to make lower lows now....which means, a beak of that H4 trendline may spur a TLC.

Looking at the DAILY, you can see a solid HAMMER formation on 10th of march.

ADDENDUM: I know it is still far away, this means that 2.1704 is a potential short(barring news, and PA strength, etc. You know the drill).

wow, really quiet today. where is everybody?

new idea/concept: adding positions.
Let's say we got a good touch trade in direction of the trend. Now it would be reasonable to assume that the trend continues.
By adding positions we can exploit the whole new swing to the downside.
What I wanna do here is to add position every certain number of pips (50 pips for example) depending on the time-frame and currency pair.
Several questions/problems arise here:
1. how to define this certain number of pips? Should we just set limit orders at each 50 pips for example?
2. what should be the position size for added positions in relation to our initial entry
3. Should we take off half at R:R 1:1 for each new position?
4. Should we trail our stops? if yes, what should the stop size be? manual or automatic trailing stop?
5. when should we stop adding positions?

So what do you guys think. Would appreciate any input.
I definitely feel sometimes that I could have profited more from a move, that's why I came up with that idea. I never tried it, nor tested it. Just wanna discuss it first a little before I jump into the cold water with that idea.

Thats is kind of similar to the Matingale MM of trading, kind of risky imo but it can be very profitable as long the market keeps going you can make a boat load, but if it goes the other way the losses can add up in hurry.

MY EU since Thursday of last week has not moved much, I think it needs to retrace back to the 136.00 level before we see it head back down again, I was hoping it would do that today and then get going like it should, but does not look like it is going to make it. To that critical area.

There are a few ways you can do this. I personally only do it in certain scenarios, which are very rare. You have to remember that each add will be in less-than-ideal areas. Also remember it requires a lot of trade monitoring when time can be spent better looking for new trades.
Personally I never trail the stop as you want your stop to be at a key area - i.e. the s/r point. Otherwise you have a good chance of getting chopped up. Instead, I treat each trade as being separate trade. I watch the position and will close or scale-out based on feel and chart screentime. Only do these on less size than your initial position, and set a max loss count in case some odd chop occurs.
You can also trail the stop like you said. Don't forget your max risk %, as you never want to break that.
