Well, after PMing Jason Rogers here on the factory things have finally been resolved today and they have also re-closed the trade at 1.30274, the high of yesterday.

Still unsure of why it was closed erroneously but a resolution that suits me fine.

Kind Regards

Good job. Isn't it nice to have reps on the forum on your side. You can have a great weekend now.
Nothing worth having is easy.

Well after a poor start to the month with the price crossing the daily 50sma & ema early doors, the two longs were closed from 1.25191 & 1.27549 at 1.30390 & 1.30370 respectively.

Results on closed trades equated to a monthly gain of 7.968%

However, at last I also have a couple of add-ons from 1.25545 & 1.25537, currently up around 19%. Stop loss on these two is currently at 1.26596 (just over 4% locked in) and we are locking in daily as the 50ema rises.

So, in conclusion a solid month and a headstart to August with the carried over add-ons

Kind Regards

Hey P!

August wasn't good at all - price hovering around daily 50sma & ema not good for my method.

Lost 11.452% in August which brings the gains down to 70.97% for the method since late last year.

Looking for it to decide on a trend again this month with the big boys back in the market.

Cheers

Same here Sam,

August was tough....

Probably just going to post September & October results here, which brings the method's results up to near enough a year.

Then I'll bow out of FF gracefully and just return to being a lurker.

Hey Steve!

thanks for the response.

Don't worry I'm sure you'll recoup this month, here's an interesting article:

Thanks for the link P

Yes, August is historically a tricky month - with the big boys out it often ranges.

Although a trend based method, thats not too much of an issue if we range away from the 50sma/ema - it just means a fairly flat month. However if it ranges around the 50sma/ema that means a difficult month.

As your link suggests, once into September we often start trending again so lets see where we go from here.

The journal is probably one of the oldest still running on FF and I'm not sure how much value it is these days with the longer term strategy I'm employing.

Anyway, good trading to you for September

Kind Regards

Well, the first part of the month continued in the same vain as late August - was very frustrating with the price straddling the daily 50sma & ema.

However, patience finally paid off when I entered two positions long at close of the 13th September daily bar at 1.28776. Also managed to add on that same evening at 1.28693 with an initial 50 pip stop.

Closed the two from 1.28776 at 1.36285 & 1.36282 about 20 minutes ago.

Final figures for September for closed positions was a paltry +2.516%, however this doesn't tell the whole story.

Still have the add-on position live from 1.28693 (current stop loss is 1.29576) which is unrealised profit.

Just one month to go before I have a full year's live data on this daily method - currently +73.486% after 11 months - not too shabby considering I only look at the charts once a day & on a good month only take a couple of trades

Hi Steve,

Good to see you had a good month.

Why did you open two long positions?

Also have you changed your position sizing from 100 pips per 1%

Thank
P

Thanks fx

Well, I had to come up with something after returning to work full-time

Funny thing is some months I make more clicking 2 buttons than working my **** off at work for 35 hour a week lol.

However, need to remain patient and build that account up over the next few years so I can survive the not so good months.

Kind Regards
Steve
