Hello all.

Things are too noisy today, they wouldn't agree on even 10p at a time, randomly up and down, in a tight range, don't like to battle against HFTs. After being whipsawed two times trying to following that mess, I decided to do what can become too risky to do in trendier times (and what I am still permitted to do) - I went long and short at the supposed pivot and scalped the biatch in both directions - for two times the profit after random ups and downs.

Hedging is greatly effective in these situations, it allows you to stay cool.
But it is still possible to trade that mess without it, and not riskier, though only for half the profit and requiring patience - just wait till it comes by eventually again, don't try to chase it, I don't see larger price changes coming today, as they cannot agree on it. I'm watching out for upper and lower level break though, Ben is about to speak soon, so we know the likely direction.

Paul1: Yes - factoring in also your brokers spread if you are going to set limit orders. I prefer limit orders because the computer does the trading. Sometimes as humans, we are too slow to pull the trigger.

So buy at 1.4835 for 40 pips and Sell at 1.4875 for 40 pips keep a stop of 40pips risk reward 1:1

That can be true HDA. I do best when I do not sit and watch the trade. But some of the trades I use, I have to watch the entry for closes of the candles.

Anyone making money? I havent traded today but then again, I rarely trade fridays
I scaled out of all my positions for the week but did take two small scalps from 1.4862 short to 1.4850. I wanted to be flat to plan next month. I made over 9% for April but up 65% since Feb 16th all because just swing trading off bigger TFs at good levels.

Cheers I'm for the week you all have a nice weekend.

Why do you need such a large SL in range-bound trading? If it breaks out of that 35..75, you should better close out quickly. So your risk reward can be much better.

PipChick: Thats true PC - the close of the candle is very important. Today we have a very defined trading range so limit orders will prevail as a good option.

Frevd: Sometimes it dips outside of the range and goes right back in, a little room to breathe thats all.
