Yes you are getting close here, but firstly zoom your charts out much more....

Thanks Mike!
I personally place market orders with the chart zoomed in as far as it can go. It is better to visually see your price entry and to keep the risk nice and low.

Whats wrong with the hourly charts, surley you can take a trade within the space of an hour? I agree that going to 1 min or 5 min requires a bit more practice, but the just trading the daily on its on (picking good setups) is just not going to give you enough trades especially when you are learning, you need the practice, add to this doing it on demo, creates a completely false environment.

Trading hourly and above picking A set-ups risking 0.5% to start, with maybe half your capital will speed your learning 100x than playing daily demo. You would need to have 70 losing trades to lose 30% of your account!!

If you have learnt this stuff and are applying it then you shouldn't have such a losing streak.

Just my 2p

if you get good at what you do and if what you do produces small losses and large gains i believe there is great potential. a 7 pip stop loss at a low risk entry point will double your account at 250 pips gain risking 3%. This is a max stop loss. viable exits can and are done with and at 3.5 pips reducing risk to 1.5%. 250 pips in one trade is not unheard of whatsoever when you are looking at hourly and daily charts combined. two beer down

well first of all the things are going much faster on h1 chart than on daily,
secondly the news affect the h1 chart much more than a daily ( on the weekly are usually not even seen-except the NFP)
then thirdly, once you achieve a little knowledge you dont need to sit behind the computer all day long watching charts, you just check whats new, highlight possible trade oportunities, trouble areas and just wait

of course if you have a lot experince you can trade lower timeframes, you have seen seniors on this thread trade successfully 1h and even lower timeframes, but thats not what this thread is about... as i understand this thread is to learn to trade profitably and gain a financial freedom while trading just a little (a few A++ trades a month) so that you have more time to do other more important things in your life

just my thoughts

Some will never get what trading on the higher time frames is really about. Even fewer will find their way out giving the whole thing a bazooka hit with an intra day start...I wish you're amongst these ppl Chatz,

Jim I guess was making a general comment no?

well you have my best wishes and i appreciate your time in the thread.

if you accomplish the following you would be the first i would personally know of in 28 years in this business.

1. start out with a small account.

2. start out on intraday and not blow your account.

3. or still be trading the SAME non blown account 10 years later.

wont happen.

You can trade 10,000 units with a 250 deposit with OANDA. Max leverage is 50:1. This is $1 per pip to practice with. Put in $500 from your tax return and learn your lessons. Get a job. Keep practicing.

What you don't see is that taking just very good long term trades is more consistent, and will create a higher % gain at the end of the year than diving in and out of 1hr charts with little to no experience.


I discovered this through forextester .

Some day I hope I can trade 1hr, maybe... but not for a very very long time.
