Hi VennD...
Your performance is outstanding, although I got bit lost in your trades.

I like to understand what I am reading about, so few questions therefore please:

  1. I do understand you’re scalping only on 5M charts… as I can see you are taking several transactions per day, both longs and shorts. Why you are not taking one transaction? Instead, I can see a cluster of few minor transactions very close together? What’s it all about?
  2. What is your main (decision making) setup? What is your “trigger” to jump in and out.
  3. For me „short @ 1.0478 + long @ 0.9992 (+486)” means nothing else but just closing the transaction. Is this correct? I am asking, as sometimes brokers do not allow opening opposite (hedge) positions. I mean you must close short to open long. Often many brokers “square” all hedge positions on “roll-over night”.
  4. Do you have any negative balance transactions, literally what’s your stop-loss technique?

Thanks for respond, buddy…

It's not that difficult to understand what Im doing. My advantage is that Im not a US citizen and I don't use US brokers/brokers registered in US. US made so so much rules . Cannot hedge ... must use FIFO,etc. Such rules is not helping but killing accounts.

I opt for non-swaps account so ... no interest paid to me and vice versa. If I want interest paid to me ... I keep it in bank and relaxe.

Im an impatience guy. I can't wait to get 1,000 pips waiting for hours/days/weeks. That's why I do like that - buy+sell.

I like to use buy+sell so that, I can closed one of them when PA is too near and reenter at a better price. I won't hedge IF u can guarantee to me that it's a one way ticket.

No stop loss if one buy and one sell. No matter where PA want to go, I will still maintain the same pips. If Im ready to close, I will close both (buy+sell).

Only at the initial entry (before it is in pair - buy+sell) , I have to use stoploss.

Are u jealous that I have such advantages ?

Sure I am jealous, ha ha... wanna make 1000 pips a day, too
And bit more seriously I am more like swing trader, so I am successful on higher time frames, but it makes me wait for a good entry few days sometimes. And this is goddamn boring…
While my setup works fine on higher time frames I can’t make it works well on intraday trading. This is why I am watching closely guys like you and trying to catch a thing or two…
So far 5M, let alone 1M charts seem too choppy for me to make up any “scalping”....
Thnx anyway...
Good luck

Patience is a virtue and not many have it. But you have to have it to trade. You have to ignore market kneejerk moves and stay with the whole picture. This one tried to shake me twice on this trade. 9800 still sticking with my guns.

Sorry for the late reply. Brain need some oxygen ... so I went under the blanket

At the initial entry I must have a stop loss, usually 3-10 pips below/above recent low/high bars. So ... should that entry be wrong, market will eat my stop loss. Reenter again at a better price. I seldom use sell stop. I try to minimize my indis by only using Trend Lines , Channels , Fibo Rules and Signal Candles/Formations ... as guidance for entries.

...
and how if #2 long (when buy in dip) still break down ; mean the market still againts ur pos?
There won't be #2 or #3 and so forth ... IF you understand very well about signal candles readings , fibo rules ( what prices will do at each levels). Btw ... do u understand what does Trend Lines + Channels meaning in real life ? I will knock your head if u answer to me ... they're supports and resistances. They act like supports and resistances BUT they're NOT supports and resistances. What are they ? Goggle some where else to find the answer ... , and ... If you draw them wrongly ... , I will take your pips !

I think our basic foundations in forex trading are very much different. Mostly wrong are for you ... not for me. Else ... my nannies had already chop off my head several years ago. hehehe

Hi Vennd,

How low do you think usdcad will drop this time before strong rebound?
Pls look at post # 621 ... 2nd chart ... aqua fibo colour ...

IF it doesn't fall below fib 100 , it will rebound ... or ... it might touch between fib 127-161 and then rebound.

When it rebound ... it will go more higher than ... 1.0213 , probably to 1.0274-1.0351. Sometimes also , it will only rebound between fib 0.00-100.0. After that I will tell you the next story because I can only predict base on each moves that it makes.

Anyhow ... everything depends on buy/sell/fundies+sentiments.

ok...pls.corrected me if I'm went wrong mr.VennD

so base on ur chart # 2 (post 621) clearly fib 100 support @ 0.9990
than if break...it'll be touch around 0.9800 for fib 161 than rebound from there..?

so better BL @ 0.9800 ?
or still BL @ 0.9990-up (now atm)...with tight stop loss 10-15pips?
