Looks like daily trend may be turning. Looks awfully lot like inside & outside bars forming atleast on EU, GU & AU at D1. Semafor on top yesterdays D1 bar. Stochs coming together on D1. H1 failed to make a new higher high. Its of course too early to tell, but atm looks like it.

What do ya think DrDave? Are they reversing?

Added: After saying that just thinking that tomorrow may turn out to be a good day to open some longer tf trades.

Sorry for the long dealy for the reply, but YES, they are reversing LOL.

In fact, i just snatched 24 pips on the M5 after making the rally to the D1 swinging down. SL of 16 was set above prior high.

(Actually, I used Intrinsic Market Timing of M1 to M5 to determine an earlier entry than the M5 gives)

The next M1 rally failed to swing up M5, so this is a condition to put on a BOLOSO short if M1 breaks below that low. But with caution, because M1 already made its rally to the D1 down swing.

Wow. Thats not even great. Thats just plain insane
There will be some rally, when it comes down from the highs. I quess thats going to take some time though present economic conditions being what they are.

My GBP/CAD D1 long just hit my tp on +350 and I thought that was great.

Yo, Whistlepips, the rallies only got through M30. Now ALL charts back down. You know what that means.... look out below.

Actually, I didn't check the daily range. Are we near the bottom of it?

Ok guys. Be prepared to shoot down my preliminary trade & money management rules for freebie (maybe with PMīs so we dont mess the thread). I will go live with these in case you dont stop me doing so

- position size 1-2% (depending from the nature of the setup and/or day eg. lower size on NFP days, etc). I will keep my position size fixed with about those percentages as the account size grows. I will re-evaluate the size of my positions in after 6 months or so
- weekly goal about 8% (with maybe around 160 pips). I will gradually increase my weekly goal to 25%, which will be possible via longer trades. I make adjustments to my weekly goals after 3 month periods by evaluating my success and "head"
- I go for atleast 1:1 RR and close half positions after I have achieved that. I will then move my stop to BE and let the rest run atleast to the daily/weekly/monthly range and even further.
- Drawdown management rules: If I lose 6 % of my account, I will cut my position size to 1%. If I lose 10% of my account, I will cut my position size to 0,5%. I raise my position size only after I have achieved those previous levels. If I lose 30% of my account, I will go demoing again (or just stick to my dayjob, in which Im even more lousy )
- I will open max two trades from a single swing in order to deviate my trades (risk) in time
- I will not have more that 3 positions open at a time (unless they are free trades)

GU now closed for 15% as per rules

Return on account + 32%
Why weren't you long at around 12:10 and stopped out?

I traded live today with Paulus' 5M system across four pairs.

 

  1. AUD/USD
  2. GBP/USD
  3. EUR/USD
  4. USD/CAD

I was risking .5% per trade and ended the night down nearly 1% after placing 9 trades. It seems as though it was a rough night of trading. However, I was hoping Paulus might be able to go over my charts and point out the things I did correctly and the things I did incorrectly.

First I will post the images of my trades as they happened.

The GU trade below took off to quickly. I then placed an order for entry. The take profit was never reached, so when priced reversed I entered. It was eventually stopped out.

I'm also missing one EU trade.
