Nice start, especially catching a good portion of this morning's drop.

Still holding my last short position from 1.52618 as I believe the price will retrace and the short move will continue today or tomorrow. other wise I will close this position at 1.51431

Well, nothing beats sticking to your rules and money management method when you take a few hits in a row because most of the time
when a trader takes a few hits and his account is down a bit he panics and starts placing some really funny trades took me few years to overcome that I admit it

Anyway my new mini account is almost $4000 I started with $2000 and it feels good

My trading method I simply look at the daily, 4hr, 1hr charts to make my analysis then I pin point my entry using a 15 min chart at the london session open...

Will keep you guys posted...

Ofcourse... I use the daily, 4hr and 1hr charts mainly for trend lines and major S/R levels I am not a trendline freak with zillions of them on the chart just the obvious levels I like to keep things simple...

in a down trend I look for retracements on the 4hr chart then I confirm it on the 1hr chart by looking for s/r level or double top or divergence on the 1hr chart once its confirmed, I enter on the 15 min chart only after the london session opens once the price move confirming the direction I pull the trigger I also watch the pivots on the 15min chart for more confirmation...

Hi,

Thanks very much for the response.

So I assume that you only trade during the London session?

If it is possible and you have the time I would be very interested in seeing some of this analysis actually outlined in your charts.

I like the fact that you are starting out with a small account and seem to have a strategy which allows you to grow your account in such a manner.

I would very much appreciate further analysis.

Kind regards,

For sure...

Here is an example if my last few trades this past week...

Here is the first thing that I look at, my daily chart to identify the main trend...

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4029/...5262b662_o.jpg

Then I look for a retracement on the 4hr chart and continuation to the downside which is confirmed by crossing my moving averages and Kijun-sin indicator (the one in orange)

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4019/...da13eb16_o.jpg

After the cross on the 4hr chart I look at the 1hr chart to confirm the setup, I always prefer to see in that case a double top or a bearish divergence H&S setup etc... so in that case there was a divergence on the 1hr chart...

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4050/...7323ac46_o.jpg

After I feel comfortable with the setup I go my 15min chart to pull the trigger I watch pivot levels on my 15 min chart and S/R levels I trade after the London session starts some times the market is quite till the US starts that's ok with me but I don't like to trade late only a couple of hours after the US session max after that things get slow and crazy... unless I am in a trade and locked in some profit and its a free ride... here is my 15min chart below...

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/...2723320e_o.jpg

This price tag is my entry its 15 mins after the london market opens...

That's pretty much a summary of what I do...
