Knowing when to switch your trading style is the hardest thing to figure out for most traders. Right now postition trading does not pay, a halfway decent trader should be able to pull 100 pips a day out of eu alone, add a few correlated markets and you are on to a winner. Add some fundy/news trades when appropriate and you can beat any position trader right now.

Once the global moneyflows stabilise I will start position trading again.

I just follow the money.
Do you still trade out of the London session?

My day starts about an hour before Franky and finishes about 1500EST. I then check the Asia open for a bit.

About 70% of my daily piptake comes from London.

Yup, I wish I could be slicing and dicing this currency more during the days... still not ready to get off of the work nipple yet. Which leaves me with position or swing trades, and scalping Asia.

Going from a guaranteed income to having to make your own money will be quite a switch. Right now trading is just money on top of my job, which is nice. I am absolutely outperforming anything a savings account or bond can do... but I am working on building an account and once I hit certain levels and objectives, i'll start testing myself by taking a week or two off at a time from work to focus on trading so that I can get a gauge of what my expected pip income per week is, and use that to estimate some other figures up to the Monthly and Yearly.

Baby steps... have plenty of time... The true test is when I'll have to be dependent on the income.

Just to be clear, I am not trading this one yet, just watching it. I pick my battles carefully and this one I will pass on.

I have my sell limit set to 108.5 with target 102.5
OIL:

So I left this limit up 2 days being quietly confident about this entry on one of my hunches...

Hit my sell limit to the pip... I don't know how but seems like I'm able to pick these numbers out of my ass and they work.

Maybe its from looking at the charts for so long.. lol

Anyways entry is set... lets look for tp or exit.

Why not? We have various trending markets like AU for eg, various ETFs, etc If someone makes an effort anything is possible. Position trading can be done in any market conditions.

Just thinking about that top gives you a subconscious bias that causes you to miss the obvious trades and setups.

Clear your mind and just follow price, who cares where it takes you.

Ours is not to wonder why, ours is just to do or die.
Cloggie u should be working for GS lol... next time they make a call you can give us a heads up

It can be done, as I am doing it... it's just not very consistent. March and February have been some of my slowest months in a while in terms of positions trades.

I'm averaging somewhere around 20-50 pips a day with the position trades.

thinking about where the top is or where we are going to be in June will just give me a bias, having a bias is the worst thing you can do as a daytrader.
So true, Cloggie, so true. Since I constantly Elliott wave analyze the EURUSD I often stand with my bias in my own way.

Sometimes I damn the day I came across Elliott Wave LOL
