Hi guys,

Sorry I've had a few days of recovering to do!! I see I have a few replies to make and PMs to respond to which I will do a little later today.

I just wanted to add that I have decided to go back to trading EUR/USD on H4 charts as well as taking long term trades... it seems silly to limit myself to one or the other so I figured I would do both as and when it is appropriate to do so.

So with that in mind I am currently short E/U from 1.2850 with a 100 pip trailing stop... Let's see where we go from here!

Regards,

Dan

Nice to see you back Dan, hope it was a good one.
Look forward to seeing some charts as i can not see any tradable trends at the moment maybe due to high volatility?

yes. but there are lot of tradeable h4 PA. cadjpy pin on h4 of today morning is already + 100 for example.

btw i use MT4 on FXPRO for charting, so my charts are GMT+3.

Yes I agree with the 4h pa trades I have been trading them most days and had 8 out of last 9 pa trades work out well.

ok.

i am now short on audusd and eurcad, both based on break of the weekly engulfing candle of last week.

have huge stops on this (but only equating to 2% each), so quite happy to ride these out now.

Hi guys,

I've decided to start a blog to keep track of my trades. I don't know why really - I just fancied having a go at blogging!!!

http://the-trend-trader.blogspot.com/

Please feel free to drop by and say hello!

I will still be posting here of course... the blog will just be for my personal trades; setups and discussions should carry on in this thread!!

Regards,

Dan

PS... It's not a commercial site so I don't think I'm breaking any rules... but if I am I'm sure someone will politely inform me!
