Nice trade! I took +10 pips out of that move when it broke a support level I had on 1.6050... a small win is still bigger than any loss, but you got the whole move... nicely done!

Any win is a good win. Nice job. I didn't get the whole move..got out with that new H1 green candle. Still watching to see what it is going to do. Glad you have joined us, Anthar.

nicely balanced your EU loss then, did you hit your target this week?

How long have you been trading this method for and how often do you miss your weekly target?

I did hit my weekly target of 100 pips..actually more than that this week. I cannot remember the last time that I did not hit my target. It is very doable.

I have been trading a version of this method for over 2 years now.

How are you doing with this method...hope you are making pips.

I think you are the first trader from Mexico that I have seen on FF. Where are you in Mexico? I love that country, used to go there 3-4 times per year, but now am a little afraid.

Took +30 pips earlier on eurcad and eurusd back in short on these, with gbdusd. Keeping my fringers crossed I might have bit off more than I should. On a side note its 6degrees out with a low this morning of 3degrees. I could here wind machines going all night. Soft fruit growers could get hurt in cots and peaches.

I am looking to go short again if the next H1 candle heads down again.

We used to use smudge pots in CA for cold weather..now illegal. I haven't seen wind machines though. Are peaches setting fruit already? Since August is peach season I would think too early.

Good on ya but you broke you're rule of trading after you hit your weekly target then

I've tried all sorts of methods including the J16, they all work here and there but the losses just swallow it all back up, this is the first one I'm having consistent success with so a BIG thank you

I read in your previous posts that you also tried the J16 method, did it not work for you?

I was a paying member of J16 for about 3 months..got my money's worth, but I couldn't get it to work consistently for me. It works for many though.

I demo trade after I hit my goal..I have been demo trading since Tuesday this week (except for EURUSD which I trade pretty much all the time live)

The first for real? I guess we are not so many, I know one or two in person. I work close with traders from Argentina tho'. I live in Monterrey, northeast Mexico, and I'll tell you I love my country and it is hard to see how it comes under siege of crime... nevertheless I'm cautios and have never been in a dangerous situation, you know media can make things bigger.

I hope when you have confidence to visit us again, you come to Monterrey. You are more than welcome here!

When Feb starts to get in the 50's during the day the sap begins to move and the buds start to swell. The more heating degrees we get above 40's the more the buds swell. As they swell they become tender to lower temps. The chemical companies will run freeze test each week to see what temp will kill at what degree. This is the time of yr we have to start smudging or use wind machines or water to raise the temp. Wind machines will only give you 3 to 4 degrees, what ever the upper air inversion is. If you look back at the scenery pic you can see a few machines in the background. Our heating season can last until 1st of June.

That is so interesting to me. I was raised, not on a beef cattle farm, but with a cattle farm. We have set it out in pine trees now as my brothers and I can't raise cattle anymore. One reason I am working so hard at trading is so I can get back to Mississippi to the land.

That's a good goal to have. With your trading tools and experience you will reach that goal. I'm just glad to have met you on this thread. I've been able to put together what I've learned in the last few yr's in a simpler package. I still need to work on discipline and mm. It has help me be a little more confident in taking trades.

Great stuff, feel like I'm learning a lot. Btw, where's geula got to?? Am selfishly missing geula's insightful posts in my (UK) time!!

Thanks LG & everyone else posting here, & the moderators for making this forum a pleasant experience, & excellent place to exchange & transform ideas, learn & grow.
I've read the 1st 50 pages or so, & checked a few charts, & I like what I see.
I checked out the 3 period RSI by inputing the formula into a spread sheet,
then applied various Closes to see what results I would get, & found that if the latest Close equalled the previous Close, then RSI(3) remains unchanged (horizontal or 3 o'clock). While this information doesn't assist with your other o'clocks, I find it helpful in that I can put the last Close of Weekly,
Daily & 4Hour bars on the 4Hour chart, & can see how many pips price is from 3 o'clock in the various timeframes on the one chart.
Hope someone finds this helpful.
Thanks again LG & Team.
