Man, you've been up for a LONG time it seems. Get yourself some sleep, NY session is no fun anyway.
I know I don't sleep but on the weekends. My wife is going to have me committed.

Haha, nice, I don't know how you do it. I drink a gallon of coffee a day and still get the heavy eyes. Good job though man, you're hard core I'm just re-running my S/Rs and will post them once I get them done, probably wont be for a few hours though.

put in a trade, put in an sl, put a distance TP, and check your account next week, - either u make money or you get SL, next week do same thing, and spend time with your wife.

That will be my only solution for the week of her vacation in April. There's no way she'll let me trade while she is home. I have a feeling I'll be spending the week in a cabin somewhere in the mountains with no internet access! Not bad though.. I could use the time off and she knows it.

it's very difficult to trade with small tp and small sl. a lot easier trade the bigger picture. if u can make money daytrading, (some people can), but it's very risky.

My trade decisions are based on the 4hr and 1hr TF's. I use the 15min to monitor. Sometimes I see a candle formation on the 15min that I just have to take or use to close a trade. So most of my trades take place over many hours... really not days.

if you're consistent at that, that's great. i try and trade a weekly candle.

How wide is you SL on those trades? You'd have to be able to tolerate some serious swings.

I do quite well. Weekly chart trading? You have more patience then me. From reading your posts though I like your style.

I trade similar to Marc. 4HR and 1HR, and use 30M and 15M for entry and exit. Some long-term if it presents itself. But ya, mark up S/R and TL on a 4 and 1HR and you should be fine trading intraday.

I wish I had the patience to trade like you. It is nice to lock in a few pips and move your SL to break-even; seriously one of the best feelings in the world.

range trading is usually always temporary, i like it when it goes in 1 direction for weeks. right now it looks like it's trying to change direction but id like see it close below .91, e/u gbp/jpy and a/u all have good possibilities of bearish weekly candles, imo

What has me right now is a bear trade I took early this morning. I screwed up and missed the exit sign (7am est candle) and let it ride. I sold another lot at 9190 and brought my B/E to the weekly pivot. Now I'm still stuck. I don't typically lose on any trade because I will either wait for it to come back to B/E or I will load up on more lots at a higher or lower price (depending on what side of the trade I took) to bring my B/E closer. I would sell another lot here but I'm not so sure that 9190 will hold again! I might just have to wait and sell higher. Yesterday was fantastic yet today sucks because of a missed exit! Only myself to blame... this is why I do not trade with other people's money even though I've had many want to write me checks. I can sleep in peace when I go to bed!

I think that the timing is off for shorting au at the moment. To me it looks like it wants to stay up and head towards yellow highs in April (currently sitting at 9283) The current setup looks bullish for the rest of the week.
