And we have the FIX coming up (hope I'm not an hour off).


Quoting cloggie
Becasue we are consolidating here, don't hold trades during consolidation patterns, just too messy. Not going to give up 135 pips, nice point to cover.

Made the mistake showing up last night for some entertainment and there wasn't much. Made the mistake posting an entry chart and as I always post where I cover, I had to post again today.

Won't last long here though, not seeing many posts as most are Iggy'd so little point participating here.

Thanks, I did also (if only 60 Pips and only one trade...), but only because I had to leave the house for a while. Normally I'd just put up the S/L, so I was a bit angry at myself after I closed the trade...

Hi Cloggie,

How's it going? Remember me?...you gave me tips over on cable thread when we traded there. I was always having trouble with stop loss and cutting my losers off quickly....lol.

I kept all the notes you gave me. I stopped trading for 2/3 months while I went through that Babypips site again and again and read and absorbed lots of info from other sites. I've now been trading on Euro and Cable and doing much better now.

I cut my losses quickly and let runners run until they look like running out of steam. I look at the at bigger picture much better now.

Nice to see you about on here still and thanks for all the nuggets of info you gave me. I still jump on the odd bad trade, but get out quick. Preserving the capital and patience/discipline are definately some of the keys to trading.

I still look out for your posts. Wormboy/Pipchick were always great help too if they still about.

Yup. Nothing ever changes on this thread. Just keep an eye on 4222, don't go selling this one just yet.

saw you show up at a different time than usual so i sat up and paid attention. I would not have come to the same conclusions so I'm still got a long way to go. nice run Cloggie well played.

The IF should be, IF we get a nice rejection pattern of 4222, then 4146. If 4222 is breached, faked, tested and rejected then 4280. That's why I covered my earlier trades here, just waiting and watching to see what she is going to give us next.

Well done TommyP. You figured out you weren't ready, did something about it and came out the other end a better trader.
