Well the gbp/usd pair is still not clear to me as this point and that's why i didn't trade it and took a trade on gbp/jpy. By the way i just took another short on gbp/jpy and will be trailing it. I don't recommend trading gbp/usd right now but ofcourse it is your choice
The Euro pairs kicking some ass!

With ya on the Cable thang....

Pshhhhhhh.

Well i originally saw an entry on gbp/usd but it really wasn't clear since the trend was still up. Although i was right again and the trade was successful, i missed it but got into gbp/jpy trade instead since it was more clear to me and had a confirmation. Here are charts showing you how i planned this trade and how it turned out. On the second chart you can see how the price broke the trend line i drew. You can also see the support level line i drew and originally was going to use as my Take profit point where the price ended up anyways
By the way notice how my profit target was right on point as the price reverse right from that point, which as i stated before could be considered a good support level to set as your take profit.

Nice profit. On the average you trade about 50 pips or less?

Yea that's correct, my trades are anywhere from 25 pips to 50 pips. Sometimes i get out earlier than that when market conditions change as i am NOT a robot and i actually adapt to what happens to the price of the pair and its action. I reach my daily quota everyday only looking for 25-50 pips a trade and make tons of money every month without any stress.

Wow. Shot up pretty quick just now.

Only lasted about 5-15 sec and to my delight FXCM gave me a
most generous closing position in executing at the very top of
that spike (1.49859). Forex.com would have lagged back 20 pips.
MBT would have frozen their platform to accomplish the same.

These are my experiences.

Your screen shots only display price action and a trend line is that all you base your trades on or do you use other indicators in the background?

You shooting for 100 pips a day or a dollar figure?
I shoot for a dollar figure which is 500 dollars a day. If i pass it than that's fine. If there is no trade available that day (which is usually never a problem) i just won't trade. The whole point is to make $2500 dollars a week but at the same time use proper money management and only trade what i consider a good setup based on my different strategies. If you look at my trades you will see that don't use more than 1 standard lot. Most of my trades i use 5 mini lots which makes me great income and most of the time i surpass my daily quota. The most important thing is to have a plan every trading day. It doesn't matter if you're looking for a dollars amount or a certain amount of pips, as long as you know what you're doing.

I use different strategies, whatever you see on the chart is what i am using for that particular trade that i am posting. If i take a trade using a different strategy, then the charts will be customized based on that particular strategy i'm using to take the trade i am posting.
