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!

No I won't be trading the break of that bar as I am already in the southbound train however it did add to my analysis and decision to sell this week!

You have big balls CS
Mt4 for the 4 hour.
Oanda has crap charts.
Yes I will keep one trade running but will watch out.

i am not totally a fool ... if the current h4 closes pinnish, then i will close that sell trade.

i have a pending buy already in place. if you have mt4, then nzdusd too has a h4 bullish pin.

hmm quite a sizeable pin on my charts, but note my charts are GMT+3.

i have a pending buy at 7060 and hopefully targetting 7180 ish.

we are now diluting this thread totally, so apologies commander.

but a trend trade could be the usdchf on h4,if the current h4 candle ends as a bearish pin.

[quote=bez3000;3964869]Yes it was a good week:
Trades that ended with BE or positive pips for the week:

gbpcad long @ 1.6254 - am in same, moved to b/e and hoping to reach 640
usdchf long @1.0419
eurgbp short @ 8260 - exited too early at 82
nzdusd short @ 7090
usdchf short @ 1.042
eurusd short @ 1.285
eurcad short @ 1.3335 - short from much lower (weekly break) so in the red now.

in addition am in gbpaud short, eurnzd long(stupid trade, but technically off break of bullish engulfing daily),

my main trading account is up 8% this week. lets see what happens next week.

why?
EDIT: am uncomfortable with conflicting signals on weekly and h4 on audusd and nzdusd. weekly says bear, h4 says bull.

what are your opinions folks? commander?

Hi Bez

That pin on the A/U 4 hour is worry strong res, but I think its going down in the
long run.
I will wait for a sell signal.

G/A this is a range trade, non trending target 1.729
