This is the tough moment in trading...sitting at support...it's hovering aruond there...is it hovering to build up momentum before another leg down or will it bounce...do I take all profit now or wait and give it some time...hmmmm answers on a postcard lol!

Ym has broken its 4HR TL @ 10300...is it a false Bout or will it continue...the strength of the down bars suggest further moves down but as we all know the dow can retrace hard in a split moment.
Bleh, was waiting for this one, but got distracted by other trades. Would of just been bound for demo, but still. Always get too easily distracted. You think this would of been good enough lj? Erm, feel free to answer whenever. Feel bad all these posts, probably just distracting you.

Ok...I took all profit. If I hadnt taken a full bar loss on UC BEOB trade earlier and not taken any losses at all on my earlier 'basket' shorts then I'd be about 8% up for today... instead I'm just under BE.

I didnt see the TL but add a fib from the whole swing and you'll see you have BRN, TL, 61 fib and PPZ...pull the trigger every time on confluence like that. I missed it too.

Noticed the fib too. Not sure why I wasn't in love with it. I guess I need more practice. Thanks

Being confident enough to pull the trigger comes with lots and lots of practice...you then 'know' what are great setups...If you try to make it as mechanical as possible i.e.PPZ, and fibs as confluence then pull the trigger 1 lot...if more confluence e.g. TL or BRN or both then trade 2 lots. Just an example...but that's how I practiced on backtest on 4HR... before forward testing on small live to where I am now where I take them routinely ... well when I spot them,. Of course managing stops and exits are the tricky part...

Yeah, no TL on fxpro...but even without that...RN, a very clear PPZ and 61fib is more than enough to take that trade.

This is how I see it too, but if this H4 turns into a PB then it's the other way around. And it would fall in place with the S&P forecast of going to 1140-1150.

Hope you are right. I studied P and V so much you would not even believe it. I still am not very confident in it, even though its done me pretty well so far. Still, I have 1 bad day, and I know its part of the game, but I for some reason still start to question things. Sort of get the sense that I wasn't meant to be a trader, because every profit I make, is just so dang tough lol.

took profit earlier on UC long...got out all on xxx/usd and xxx/jpy shorts at the right time! Now we have a retest of breakout so gone long and pending short on 1HR EU BEOB with divergence at swing high. Order below the support level below it.

How do you make your pics sharp man? How do you attach them? Because I hate the way they're displaying...

Jing takes the pictures crisp and clear but when I attach them here (via Attachments button) it's just plain wrong...

Do you save them on your computer and add them from your computer, or do you paste their URL?

Another touch trade opportunity...though I probably would have got stopped out on this initially with the follow through and then got in again on the way down.

P&V trading can makes your account grow a lot when you get good trends intraday. It's pretty straightforward method...just identifying the first position i.e. the start of the swing is key. Nasir has a lot of posts over there which are worth printing out and looking at.

OK, now I get it. FF resizes the image and compresses it. If you save it with lower resolution it doesn't get resized. But lower resolution means less information to the left.

By the way Lovejoy i wanna thank you!.

Because by following your journal has really made me a better trader with the confluence with the fibs and ppz it is incredible.

I will keep continue myself for this year still demo and a little micro account what is growing and at the end of the year i go live. And start a bigger acount and see if i can keep up making it live i will also hold positions longer according macro fundamentals and add on the possitions in the way.

Just wanna say thanks this journal is really helping me

Can you not change the resolution on Jing? I tried but on the shareware version you can not.

I also most of the times simply use MT4: "Save as Picture"
