Good discussion re stops etc.. Very interesting to hear how different everyone can approach it and still win (hopefully!) Best compromise is probably to lower positions and increase stop. I usually only have it around 30 and move to BE when its moved that much in my favour which is all fine when we have some good momentum but otherwise you can just as easily get fucked in the ass especially the way things are now. Nothing worse than picking direction right and having your shit fucked up by spikes. Sorry i seem to swear much more after beer o'clock!!

i don't know, the h4 chart says the 1.45xx top has reached a bearish divergence while in the past 24 hours, the h1 has shown a bearish divergence too while 30min shows something of a bearish gartley.. i feel that it will break

it might take a while to break, or a little news data
I hope your right!

Do you have Gartley for MT4? Or what platform do you use?

4280 was always going to be a tough nut to crack tbh. Represents some quite important support.

I am looking for a clean break of 4250 for the next leg. Patience.....
break and 4250 is yours but if we do break i dont think 4250 should stay being the focus... my focus would turn to if today can close at/below 4200 cuz if it does it opens up whole new level for next week...

This is getting annoying. Can't even get a honest scalp going before the whipsaw kills it.
We're all stories in the end. Just try to make it a good one.

I dont understand that...
When you make a deal, your broker may hedge against or not your position.
The delay for me comes when they open opposite trade (hedge) to mine.

They always will try to benefit from your trade and how depends on what asset classes you trade.

I have had different results with different brokers. Some have really fast execution and some have few seconds delay when opening trade.

So only way to win against these with slow execution (if scalping) is to open a trade at extreme points in short timeframe but still when it has not turned yet. Of course there may be continuation and then have to hedge position.
Kind of have to know where sellers/buyers are for sure. Because if trading is fast, that delay will result to requotes (expensive brokers dont have them) and ruins it.
They think they are smarter than I am.

Motherf%cker... Now this thing is going to where my short targets were this morning before being stopped out at BE. I swear to god this thing is getting PERSONAL!!!!
Jazznos - You really need to shut your workstation down and take a walk. You're making the biggest mistake a trader can make -- you're letting things get personal. That is a sure way to wipe out your account. Go take a walk. Enjoy the weekend and come back again to it after you've studied your trades and figured out what you're doing wrong. The market isn't going anywhere. It'll be here when you're ready to have at it again...

Friday must be the day for interesting toughts ... again interesting. I knew about the countertrading, but your technique needs some more thinking from my side to understand.

And the same advice to the rest of you currently experiencing problems. Getting whipsawed, etc. If you can't trade it just stop. There's no shame in NOT making trades. Sometimes the market is just plain untradeable. Realize that, take a break and stop whining about it, as if the market cares.
