I was also thinking about it but because of Bernanke speak i will wait.
It's probably wise to wait.

It was not meant to be irony. I believe in Your judgment and instinct more than in anything on forex. It was wiser to enter because it earns money, waiting would not.

Oh, I understand that, but I thought it was funny, I liked it! Please don't trust my judgment, I am very often wrong.

Trading on NFP-days can be tough...
So far I'm up 2.4% this week with your excellent method-and I'm happy with that

Have a nice weekend

Hi all
Today is the end of my first live trading week on Forex and i would like to share what i have discovered about LG system and MM for it.
As we can read in every single book about forex MM is very important. The same is related to MM for LG system. This week i was trading very carefully. I had open 8 trades, 6 were positive, 2 negative. After this i am finishing this week almost at same balance i have opened it (with 0,5% profit). I was thinking what i did wrong, and answer is my MM. I have opened trades with various risk and closed them often...
Since we trade higher Time Frames (H1, H4) I would not take any trades below RR 1:2.

In this trade short. Nothing is really moving now, this one slowly dropping... we'll see. Hope to make up for the 50 pip loss I had earlier today from a huge slippage due to NFP. Lesson learned... close position before NFP!!! duh

The RSI is a guide and that only. We look at price action and previous price direction / range and then the rest is up to you.

Any indicator is as reliable and unreliable as the trader is, if you dont like it this Indi, find another thread and another indicator, simples

It's the PA that's unreliable. The RSI just follows it.

I'm in short.
What stopped me going short was the macd still pointing up on the H1. I know you don't use macd, nevertheless, if you can stand the heat, it should turn soonish.

Including macd & ma (just to name a few), indicators are all but lagging. We cannot rely too much on it to make our entry. Their purpose is to confirm the trend (whether the market is trending or not). Still, the best indicator is PA (candlestick) itself.

On the side note, UCHF per my H4 view is in the bull flag formation atm. I am expecting this pair to continue upside move by next week & hopefully it manage to break above the weekly res TL (see arrow).

Any comment guys?

I am not recommending this, especially for newer traders, but I placed a buy trade at double my short to offset the trade going against me. That has stabilized my losses.
