Any successful trades last night? I was away from my computer and skipped a day.

Hi KelvinM and all,
nice thread, long term trend trading is the only way I have found to make money in the forex Market and keep my sanity. Any way I am trying this out with small units on Oanda also to see what happens. Have 2 parked now EURCHF and GBPCHF, and we wait to see if we get a bite.

Guys Today we will have a beautiful IB on eur/usd. Go long at 1.4148 TP atleast 50 pips. and Short at 1.3986. Good Luck. Tell me your results tomorrow.
This Long that I took on eur/usd was stopped out at 1.4070 So I took the Correct IB Short at 1. 3986 TP 1. 3950 a while back.

My theory of daily IB is to look for both directions short at the lowest and long at the Highest of IB Bar. TP always the distance between the two. We will always be Successful If we Stick to this Priciple in Daily IB.
Good Luck.

My stop loss always is high and low of the IB Bar.That s the sure way to succeed and not unnecessarily giving up early.

I'll be sticking with Kelvin's rules for my own forward test. I doubt a 1:1 risk/reward, taking any IB has a +ve expectancy, but would like to see your stats proving that this assumption is incorrect....good luck.

Just to share with you from the book “Day trading & swing trading the currency market” by Kathy Lien.

For Long
1) Enter 10 pips above IB high – 1 lot
2) Place stop and reverse for 2 lots, 10 pips below low IB
3) TP = 2X SL or trail stop at that level

Hi all,

well, looks like I've finally caught some winners.. btw, my record so far is 1/11 (not so good, huh?), but if these 2 trades continue good, I'll make it all up and then some.

alto

ps. my gu trade from before.. funny thing, I moved my SL to previous bar's high and then price seemed to immediately move to hit it and then move back in right direction. That's the market for u. Oh well, made 38 pips on that one and will just keep watch for a new IB on gu.

Hi,

From what I understand Kelvin very strongly emphasises letting the profits run with the trend and not having a TP--to make up for the many small -30 pips stopouts.

Aren't you short changing yourself by having a TP

Agreed, Behman8850 don't take this the wrong way but you'd be better off providing your signals of your method in your own thread.
