what was the difference between the areas 1.5050 ish and 1.5000 on the 5M chart? What I mean is why weren't you short from 1.5050 or thereabouts, which was a SR area defined on 6th of May?
Just quickly whilst I have a moment.

I don't trust halves, I prefer wholes and thirds. KISS.

5,000 dollar mistake! unlucky tho mate
Fortunately covered by the earlier win, I wouldn't be too happy if it were a 5k loss for the day but I knew it would happen eventually, a mistake or a loss that is.

...but I really do need to lose a few soon to keep my head out of the clouds!
You got your wish I guess.

Cable - Long 1.4790 / TP 1.4844 = +54 pips ($5,400)

And by midday, some chaos!

Just made the exact same trade, so a replica trade via limit orders and it's worked. Gotta love that!

I'm getting closer to the question of 'when do I leave my full time job' to go trading full time?

I made a call here - http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...stcount=225922

And it the results are as follows:

Filled
Cable - Short 1.4990 /TP 1.4925 /ST 1.4999 = +65 ($6,500)
Cable - Short 1.4971 /TP 1.4925 /ST 1.4984 = +46 ($4,600)

Why take profit at 25? Like I've said before, quarters and wholes, not halves.

Sorry, thirds and quarters in pip talk is very similar 25-33. If I refer to thirds and quarters that's what I mean.

Cable - Long 1.4898 TP ~30 = went +17 then fell back to -2 (-$200) so I took the other side.
Cable - Short 1.4895/TP 1.4800/ST 1.4910 = +95 ($9,500)

So +93 ($9,300) in total and I'm very much done for the day, no need to trade any more!

May I ask, is it your intention to help people or just to post your trades?

If it is only to post trades then, despite my sincere interests in your method, I will no longer bother you with repeated questions and requests.

Kind regards,

Another signature mirror trade, up early today for conference call so I traded at the same time.

Filled
Cable - Long 1.4570/TP 1.4605/ST 15 = +35 ($3,500)
Cable - Short 1.4605/TP 1.4566/ST 15 = stopped out for -15 ($1,500) so I re-entered higher.
Cable - Short (2nd attempt) 1.4612/TP 1.4566/ST 15 = +46 ($4,600)


+$6,600 today and finished as I'm off this afternoon.

Just give me time, I've started to write out a few articles to try and explain what I do but it's not easy to explain what's floating around in my head.

This is mainly to track my trades but I will try and teach my approach as I go, I've just a very busy guy and unfortunately even posting my trades here is time consuming.

Reading with interest and hoping to figure it out

Good luck with it though, spread a bit of it round would ya
Back to basics, it has to be for me!

This seems like madness now, 20 contracts and it's definitely changed my psyche.

I took a long this morning and came out pretty quickly at B/E, if I'd have let it run it would have made ~30 pips ... which on 20 contracts is plenty!

Anyway, after the initial jitter I made a lovely move south.

Hi Bleek,

You mention that you can trade without charts. For your trades in this journal, do you rely on data other than a simple price chart, i.e. you have some other source of data confirming your trades such as some limit order book?

Thanks
