There is probability that Bull will strike back during London Session. but as for now Bear owns Bull. I will sleep now and see the result later. and USD index is trending up right now. so be cautious mate.

London is not open today!

Good day to you,

I have thought long and hard about this - scalping is in my blood, but screentime is a luxury for me at present. Today is a public holiday here - so no problem. I spent a few hours last night re-looking my setups, as I had made one or 2 bad trades in the last couple of days...

I have created 2 different setups - one that will allow me to trade off 15min charts - for 50 to 100 pips a shot - on average offering 3 or 5 high probability trades per pair per month. I could however scalp off this setup too - for 10 to 20 - if time...
I dont think you will be disappointed that you have chosen to become more of a position trader. If we can be patient enough to wait until the numbers are absolutes then frankly trading becomes somewhat easy and a little boring. But it takes care of us financially

I am at the point now where I enter maybe 3-5 trades a quarter total. And it is enough to sustain a good living. the 6596 level is of extreme importance right now... a significant bounce can bring us all the way back down to the 1.6044 level whereas a break and restest could possibly have us targeting the 7078... I will also be doing battle at this level because no matter which way to train is leaving the station I want to be along for the ride!!

Interesting thought but what makes you think that it will drop to 1.4402?
this is what I seee

Daily over bought and on H4 this is what I am waiting for

as soon as we will have a sell ichi cross on H4 I will prepare to sell and as soon as I will have a confirmation with the price braking the cloud in that area I will give change the TP of my shorts

this is what I see.it doesn't mean it has to happen.that's why I need confirmation for the 1.4225 level

we still have 4 more weeks on this pair to go to 1.50-51 so plenty of time for a pullback here

I like to say your trading pattern suite my kind of trading also as this reduces the risk on short term entries..... I am actually also looking within the same high range as you are but i have a problem with confirming any shorts as the usd index which i also rely on doesn't give me reason's to short just yet..... I would expect a better usd dollar index been positive b4 i enter shorts, 4 now e/u remains long so wld g/u until usd gains strength across the board

Hi Tau, I am trying to learn your level of patience, I am still following the Cloggie S&R methods which work fine for me but I tend to over trade as I also suffer from lack of screen time. Patience is definitely the virtue needed for this game.

I am currently looking at a possible drop to the Weekly Pivot 1.642 area and then a possible long

My thanks for your view point. Not sure that it will go down that far but it is a long time period and lots of possibilities could occur.

trading is a guessing game I'm afraid.do you rely only on indies? don't we all guess? I always take a guess and most of the times I am right.for me it worked out well so far with so many consecutive winning trades and still going.
It's all about MM.this short will end up in profit at least for me

as for the whipsaw you are right.it could affect a small SL but as I am a mid term-long term trader I have big SL's

good day to you,

Appreciate the post. Was out for a while...

Yes, I ran 4 pairs for 12 months on strategy tester over the last 24hrs ( self inflicted homework assignment) - and realized that longer term trades will suite me better for the next few months.

15min charts when at the computer / 1hr when I'm not. The 15min charts I trade with 4hr info, and the 1hr charts I trade with daily info. Let us see what 1.66xx brings -

All the best to you and success

Again, thank you for taking the time to post. Appreciated

Warm regards

Good day to you,

I am always in two minds about this. You know - you can outtrade anyone with collecting 5 here and 10 there. But it is becoming a thing of sustainability and mental sanity.

I want to have it all - make the bucks whilst hunting for massive specimen Carp in the rivers of the Western Cape. Our government has now announced that any forex deals done to turn a profit, would be tax free. Imagine that. I am now seriously looking into this as a longer term project..

I have run a successful business for the past 11 years. Forex, to me, was a way of possibly making above average returns on a small investment. Every January, I would take an amount and trade as to pay for the next December holiday. worked well.

But what is wrong with a full time trading career? I know we all aspire - but for me, this is becoming more and more serious, due to the following facts:

 

  1. No premises to rent
  2. No stock
  3. No staff
  4. No phones
  5. No overheads ( apart from connection and spread)
  6. Now - NO TAX
  7. No retirement age
  8. No travelling
  9. No meetings
  10. No office hours

More to the point - I know a LOT of traders using the USDX as a tool. Has been ignorant till now. Time to study this?

Seriously. It's worth my effort and all I need is discipline. If I can be disciplined and patient, I could actually make this work. Instant incentive.

All the best to you. Trade well.
