Hi Bob

I have 3 groups of pairs.

for CTR trading:
AUDCAD - AUDCHF - AUDJPY - AUDNZD - CADJPY - CHFJPY - EURGBP - NZDCHF - NZDJPY - USDCAD - USDJPY

For TREND trading:
EURAUD - EURCAD - EURCHF - EURJPY - EURNZD - EURUSD - GBPAUD - GBPCHF - GBPJPY - USDCHF

For CTR & TREND trading:
AUDUSD - GBPCAD - GBPUSD

What do you think about these groups?
Which pairs do you use for TREND trading?
For CTR trading you are too heavy into AUD pairs. I would drop the aud/chf. You need to try to diversify more. I wouldnt bother trading eur/chf. It is just too unpredictable to trade and it either goes nowhere or explodes to someplace. I have quit trading that one several months ago. Same thing with gbp/chf. The Swiss national Bank has made trading CHF pairs very unpredictable.

TradeStation is part of Monex Group, a leading Japanese online brokerage firm. The strength and stability that they can provide and TradeStation's technological leadership will benefit all IBFX customers.

Another American company sending its profits overseas. Now what??

I Know! I got this email today and well cussed a few times. Hopefully they don't really mess with the company too much. I have always been a big fan of IBFX and don't know what other broker I would use.

I am trying FX Solutions right now too see how I like them and since I use Alpari for demos I might give them a try as well.

Why did you put your sell before the lines. They should go after the lines with the break of resistance. Your trade should look more like below. You could get a retracement of hundreds of pips from it bouncing of off support.

Hello Bob, I find something ... interesting? Please take a look at this:

2 charts are H1 - Gold. The left one is zoomed in so it shows a good point to buy. But when we zoom out, the candles look smaller and we find this is not good to buy. Should we choose the safer chart?

Hi Bob.

Do you enter trades between support and resistance lines aswell? Or at the break?

I almost never use the 1H chart except to see if I want to take profit. Almost all my decisions are 4H or higher. Years ago I used to trade the 1H and I just got whiplashed too often. I will on rare occasions use it but we are talking less than 10 times a year. I know some guys who tried the RWB on the 1H but it was only really good in ranging markets.

I do use the 1H for range trading but only on non volatile pairs. (see my range trading thread) Gold is extremely volatile so I dont think I would trade it from the 1H. However, I am not a 1H chart trader or gold trader either.

I almost exclusively trade off the break of a daily. I have tried a couple where I saw a big profit (over 100) pips but I was still a ways from the next S/R line. I took my profit and then looked at the 4H chart for a line I could reenter if price kept moving. It worked a couple of times and other times it didnt. Either way tough I got my profit secured.

Yes, thanks.
BTW, I'd like to ask about Sixth indicator. You would not enter the market in the middle band. Only sell in high area and buy in low. Is it simply a screen splitting or a dynamic Res and Sup?

The sixth is based on the screen being an indicator. In other words MT4 has a formula for screen size for every pair. Some screen sizes can be thousands of pips from top to bottom, others several hundred. To me this was an indication of volatility so we divided the screen into 6 parts. In other words what ever formula MT4 was using for screen size became our indicator. The indicator was then based on the specific volatility of that pair for the time period you put the 6ths indicator on the screen. In my opinion price action seemed to hit the lines more often and more frequently than Fib lines and was a much better indicator than Fib lines. Its main usage was for counter trading but I have never really tried to use it for trend trading.

Market really sucks the last couple of days. I feel like I am on a beach with clear blue skies over head but the weather man tells me a hurricane is out on the ocean someplace. I have made the mistake of thinking price would break loose yesterday or today and so I didnt collect on several profitable trades, you know "let your winners run". Well they didnt and i lost em. I probably have failed to collect close to 4 or 500 pips because I thought these 30-70 pip runs would go longer. Not in a good mood right now.

The double daily line I have found to be good trades. 4H dont play with that much. I have done maybe 4 or 5 so really cant say.

Notes from the daily show gbp/usd is in a definitely DT so I would rather play price to go above the 4H line and then put a sell stop below it and look to reenter after a retracement.

YUpz.....you've got very consistent trading strategies and u stick to it well. This retracement might possibly be above D1R2, so I will wait to see PA for next few days.

Take it ez... bad mood is bad recipe for trading. But hell, we are human, and human does have emotions, especially when comes to trading for profits. Remember, its beter you missed the rallies by taking smaller profits than holding a huge negative. We have all been through that phase.

"let your winners run". .
I know how u feel. There will be 2 options when you are holding +ve open positions: either u set SL to BE or set SL with trailing stops. At least if PA goes against u, u dont have to lose this trade.

3rd option: Like what u said, be like an impatient trader, TP asap before and SR zones, and wait for another setup again.
