Closed my short on that last surge downward, was in from 5469 so that's enough pips for me, don't want to hang around baby-sitting it. The garden is calling...

if you want to scalp, learn to do it right my friend.
before you look to the cluster support @5408 as your tp, draw a line across 5430 & look back to the 8th of September. Guess where the previous hour's doji formed ..

Thanks to the lousy PA and small trading range within the consolidation , I actually made more pips today with my " dustbin trades " than my bread-and butter swing trades. +104 v +75 , hopefully we will see a breakout during my lifetime

Double your lot size...decrease your pip target and make your dough faster.

you are going for 30 pips, on ny market hours with the rest closed. you are scalping.
Even if you traded the ltf breakout, you should have the minor supp/res levels on your chart. Else, you'll just be trading blind. Holding out for that 30 pips will no longer be tactical, it'll just be hoping

AAh, well, I have been doing this nightly with some success but I must agree you are right. Got stopped BE but my problem is if my s/l is 10 pips and my t/p is 10 then I'm not sure whether I'll have the same success as now. Thats why I have s/l of 10 and tp of 30 at least to give me 3 to 1 with s/l to be asap...

Magix, I see what you are saying and I've thought of that but doubling profits also means doubling losses. Whats your view on that, maybe you could help me out with this?

I have now made 8% on my live account with this being my 3rd week. I only trade about 1 and 1/2 days per week so am pretty stoked but maybe need to think about making these NY trades scalps and so shorter t/p but higher value?

you need to learn to be flexible. Having a fixed 3:1 ratio on all taken trades will only work under certain market conditions, not all.
Look at it this way, you keep moving trades to bep like the last one you took. You can have 5 of those bep trades in a night & 1 losing 10 pip trade right after, you'll still end up in a loss. Do not move to bep and hold out trades blindly, there are times where you have to take profit earlier, take it.

yeah, but what happens then is when I become afraid or nervous I close winners short! I'm hoping it'll come with time...

maybe scalp gbp jpy in late night session on demo to practise?

More consolidation before re-test of 1.6000 levels?
60 and 200 DMA providing solid support zone.
RSI hovering around 50 and stoch crossing up from under 20.
See chart.

Some nice gains there paw...

I think your trading has been going awesome. I try to keep eyes on a lot of traders, see where they have come from and where they are heading to and I think you are most certainly lined up for greatness, no questions.

After the London bells close, NY may or may not want to play, so, if you find yourself wanting to take a trade, have an idea of what you want to see, of course still play according to your charts, double up on your lot sizes, kill one for half your target set sl to BE on the other. You can still walk away with a few sheckles even if you don't gain the full range of trade.

Really, you have done well with trading off your charts, increasing your lot size will assist you in growing your account faster. If you are consistent enough with 1 lot, it will be the same with a second lot. Build your MM strategy as you have built your confidence with your chart.

Lastly...It is your money. IF you are comfortable enough trading with what you got and are happy with what you get, don't let anybody try talk you into something else. That comfort zone is what will keep your emotions at bay and allow you to continue your success.

Seriously my friend, all well wishes for ya.

And I believe you are not only a great example of what can be done, but a Grand example of how it can. Take each day as they come, learn what you can and profit when you see opportunity.

and you flipped over to the m5 you'd see a hammer formed or the m15 you'd see a doji formed 2 pips off 5430. you can then decide if you'd want to bank your profits or at least move your trade into profit, say 10 pips, that way you'll end up with a 1:1 win loss ratio regardless. Don't worry about closing out the trade too soon, happens all the time, it's way better than to watch your trade being in profit and then you end up with nothing, or worse ... a loss.
