I was in the ej, eu, eg, &ec and pushed my SL up cause i was not gettting much momentum and was taken out about 1 minute before they all took off for about 20+. Oh well, I ended up with a few pips in each.
good that you got some out of it..

e/j was a perfect MOM trade straight shoot up for easy +40..

no problem... we get'em the next time..

p.dean,
I think getting out was the correct decision. did you get stopped out?
your absolutely right my friend... and you did it perfectly..
i normally hold when i got at least the 4hr steps in my favor.. this time it was just pure stupid risk and it happens..

that's why it all comes down to execution for a Trader.. it's not about what you know but about executing correctly all that you know.

much or less from the same point of my 2nd trade, I entered into the 3rd one.

I wonder if you saw both the RF and stoch change its direction would you quit as I did or wait for the price to hit your stop loss?

isen,

I normally let it breath/develop and risk getting stopped out.. but on rangy days it can kill you and I try to use some discretion which sometimes can burn you and other times save you if the whole day is dismal..
i got burned on the G/U trade..
that's the way it goes sometimes..

i must confess.. market is really fucking with me at moment.. lol... but it ain't the first time nor the last time... being present will make it happen at end of the day, week, month..

Uk and us but sometimes eurjpy,audusd,or gbpjpy during asian.System yield best results during uk and us session though as there is plenty of momentum to drive the trades.

Does anyone consider where the Stoch is when entering a trade? i mean if the stoch is above 80 and we get a buy signal on the RF & price is also high in the TMA bands.

I have closed my USDCAD because of this. loss -10 pips

I lost my connection after entering into the 3rd trade. later on I saw that during that time, price had missed my initial TP of 25 pips with just 0.5 pip. I pulled my SL to BE and TP to +20 according to redrawn TMA and crossed my fingers. a couple of minutes ago, it hit my TP. I think I was lucky at this one.

3 trades, 2 wins = +26,5 pips for now...

dear lehmann,

usd/cad is in the very tight bands about 10-15 pips more than any other major pair the last two days.. that is just not enough to make any maneuvers on.. in my opinion that's what it is the problem and i have stayed away from it till it show some kind of life or widen that band a bit.

but.. if you decide to trade such tight range... one must only get in at top and bottom of each bands to have a chance to make any kind of decent money.. meaning when for example you get a RF buy signal, pa preferably to be at the lower band and 1hr stoach to be stepping up.. for sell signal opposite.

I hope it helps.

I got two more trades on eurusd. the first one was at news time. I forgot to check the hour before I got in. Sudden spike got my SL of -14 pips. 2 bars later another opportunity appeared, and I got +20 from it.

Up to now 5 trades, 3 wins = +32,5

With appropriate managing of trades it could easily be +53 pips from just eurusd, not mentioning the other pairs.

if not on demo, I would quit now as I just look for 30 pips a day. but as i'm paper trading, I will try to get as much as I can today.

good luck...
