I have been posting my trades here, as I thought it might help my trading, make me think about my trades more, think out allowed .. post my charts to .. hope that is appropriate.

My trades for this morning turned out as planned I took 15 pips out of it. Then I lost 13points this afternoon at the Europe open jumping in front of it. Then I sold the high of that very strange peak we ad and took another 15, and now I am back in short, due to the break of the bottom of todays channel. I just closed that for 10 point as it is at support .. might jump back in soon. Post charts in a minute.

Edit - Shorting 1290, expecting atleast a test of todays low from here and the go B/E -5.

hehe yeah scalp trader or scared trader. I'm holding this one +15 as I type. I find though I can get a good percentage of wins at 15-20 points which is good me phycologically .... I'm trying to be brave on this current trade ..

Now my +15 is back to +4 ... Should have taken the 15 ? We shall see.

ED ok +20 ... still holding ! But I ain't holding through US news thanks !

EDIT Closed +18 lol .. scardy .

fair enough mate, whatever brings in the pips is good enough right? did you start out that way or develop into that method over time?

im still early (somewhat) in my trading career so i wouldnt quite categorise myself yet..but i always like to think that im a long position trader that will only trade 100+ pip moves but if you follow my posts lately (you wouldve remembered some of my trades from last week) ive somewhat subconsciously been making 3-4 trades a day

Glad I took my 18 its back at my entry point now ! I can always get back in if I feel the need.

taxe91 ... I learn to trade on the ES (ie lost all my money there) and scalping is the norm there. I did get a 150 pip trade once, but that was a mistake, a rouge left over limit order got me into the market when I was working, when I looked at my charts one afternoon I was up 150pips !

I trade these channels, median lines and in the current market there is lots of 15-20 point moves through the parallels to the medians on a short time scale, so it works well now, it's all over nice and quickly. When the market is quieter the channels are really too small to scalp like that.

I would love to see that that green number up over 100 again though someday, but right now I want an upward sloping equity curve over the medium term, then I can leverage a little more.

Cheers.

Hanging on the edge the current upchannel created on the 13th, also confirmed respect to the newly formed down channel from Friday. A break from here should be a cliff.

Short 10270, looking for a break out from 50 .. risky could be a reversal here, but if it breaks should be a good trade.

Closed +8, take em while they are green here .. don't trust the U.S market to break down further here without decent bounce. If it breaks here it a technical break of the recent uptrend from last week.

Sup guys!

Looks intresting, waiting for the day end to take a short on this

As we can see from the chart, the purple trend line and 23.6 fibo lvl of last year bullish trend made a strong resistance, and prices are falling back, forming probably a black cloud cover. Also RSI trend line has been broken, and stoch is showing a sell signal. It this will hold, all put toghether, could lead to nice bearish movement continuation!

And so it did break and there she goes, me waving good bye to it heh.

On my second chart it shows the down channel (only slightly slopping down) created Friday. It is respecting this channel and support there now.

So we are at 50% of the High of today - Low of Friday .. it's a median line and a 50% Fib.

have gone short at the same price with SL's in place at 10350 and 10370 and some greedy TP's at 10300 and 10270

also had a trade way earlier in the day (when the market opened) where i went short from 10330 and TP'd at 1030..possibly shouldve just held onto that and let it run till now.. im too trigger happy for my own good
still holding these shorts, moved TP's to an even greedier 10230 and 10210, hopefully being trigger happy/greedy paid off this time.

also holding a sneaky short on the euro which i will close before i head to sleep (1am here ) .. seems like every 5 minutes theres some dodgy news coming out from europe about the debt crisis

You swing traders have it too easy I'm working for my money here ! Maybe I should hold them more than folding them.

Also, if we get another dip before 01400, I will be looking to add a couple lots for a long term, new high hold. Let's face it, if this baby breaks and holds above the daily down trend line (approx 0375), a topside test is pretty likley.

Regards,
Nice pull back from the daily down trend line. Just added 2 lots long @ 0250. Will add more below 1.0150 if given the chance. Good trades to all...

Selling a break of this median ... not takers yet ....

Ed - Sold +8 .. might take it again if it confirms resistance on the same line.

Ed - No go on the reload .. it broke back above 50%. No real takers and slow momemtum on the break down which is why I pulled the trigger.
Overall a good day / night.
