That is fantastic, mate you deserve it.

Myself in the last 6 days I made a return of 47.9% of my capital. Never did it before and not luck was involved. I have to confess that I have been working very hard, let say 12 hours a day.

Yesterday she was all over the place, I was focused and going both way with her. When I switched off at 12.30 am my time my adrenaline was running high, in my half sleep I was still entering trades in both directions, slept not very nice. Today I am f... up, not good for anything.
In one hour I am off.

Yes Buma, that sell limit order was yesterday's projection. Now I am not sure anymore. However one thing I am sure of if that I will not open another short until we get a correction. I don't do breakout trades for position (swing) trading. Only scalping which I have not been doing for a while now. I prefer a more relaxed low maintenance approach

sorry, i misunderstood, because you mention 300 i assume it was real money because of the small amount. i know demo accounts normally give you 25000 or ridiculous amounts to play with and its easy to amass fortunes with demos. i use relative small amounts to live trade with ie it is now £2 minimum but i can tell you i have traded at £19 per pip its not for the screamish, good luck when it happens

Well done to you also mla

I know what you mean about half-sleeps. I used to go through that myself when I used to trade intraday. Now I just place my positions and when price moves away from the mean and reaches a new mean, I relax and let it ride.
Place enough positions and your gains become exponential. It's basically scaling in on large time frames.

Now go get some sleep.

I will. I just have to work less. If I switch of at 22.00 I will be ok.

Myself I found difficult to make money in ranging market with position trading, that is only 30%, anyway probably my system was not good enough.

I am off now, I touch base with you all tomorrow.

In a ranging market similar to what we saw in the euro between May and August, with the daily, weekly and monthly technicals and fundamentals already suggesting a move downwards despite the rate hikes from the ECB, I was selling the tops and taking partial profit on the bottoms.
It's all in the fundamentals mla. That's what rules the market. The technicals are just a representation of institutional trader (not just currencies) behavior, and they follow fundamentals while using technicals to determine best entry points.

PT is true here. Fundamentals are why price fluctuates here and there. Charting is a visual way of understanding price, and its moves with indicators, sup/res, sup/dem, and all the other tools at our disposal. The interbank traders dont really use charts. They use fundamental knowledge, economic knowledge, and insider knowledge/and or rumors.

yeah, GoldMan vouched for me

im sure he has a reason. I Pm'ed him to ask him why he did.
Redlion told me, and its GoldMan's turn



The thing about jumping in to trends already made is that there is a high possibility you have entered at the low, in which the counter-opposite of the trend is in retracement, while you are losing. So it is best to look out for retracements to enter a trend, if you are not in early.

Thats why im keeping my discipline to keep me away from eur/usd for now.

Keep in mind though that in those instances where fundamentals suggest a flat (or non biased) direction, it is then that the swings are ruled more by the technicals. Such is usually the case in a tight ranging market on lower time frames.
