LawGirl21 - basically the same question for you I asked forexpippy - at what time are you doing most of your trading? Sometimes I see your posts and charts at night - which should be Asian Trading - for me that's around 9pm on the EAST and then EURO should be around 4am on the EAST...

Thanks! Trying to see which hours will give me best results...

Thanks again, Bill. It figures that none of the platforms I use have US$ available. I can only find out if the index is up or down through news sources.
Try thinkorswim's Think Desktop. I use it for futures and indices.

Really starting to enjoy the simplicity of this system, was starting to suffer from a bit of paralysis by analysis which was affecting my confidence. Caught this mornings break on the AU/USD and AU/JPY. Short on both for a total of +51 pips. Will continue to play around with this some more but looks promising. Thanks again Lawgirl for sharing this system and your time. Cheers!

Took two trades on daily TF. Both were entered quite late but worked out and still running.

Trade still running with over 400 pips, let see how far it will go.

[quote=maestrodforex;5158133]Lawgirl21 - don't want to do any advertisement but open a demo account with Windsor and you will see USIndex and many more.

Hi there - I just opened a demo as above but no USD:IDX plenty of stuff and on my favourite time line - Did I miss something ??

I've read on a latter post that you are just closing your trades completely now. So I have a new question for you: at what time are you trading usually?

I see so many posts from you and LawGirl21 but I can't define at what time the most breakouts are happening! I'm in the US / EAST Coast so for me London start should be at 4:00 AM with the Savings Daylight now - correct?

Awesome - and by the time of your post - I think I'm correct in my assessment and you are trading at about 3-4 am my time here in the EAST which is probably 7-8am London...

Caught the same trade as Madur. Short on EU/USD. Waited for price to break the TL i had drawn along with S1 and the 1.3450. Steep angles on the ma's. In at 1.3445, TP hit at 1.3375 just before the S3. +75.

Whoaa.
This actually works.
A bit hard to find entry and setting up TP (and SL too, for that matter), but I suppose it is because I'm not used to the system yet.
Oh, and thanks. Only read first three pages before running off and tried, got most of position correct (one miss, set the TP bit higher).
It is quite Zen, when you think about it.

I have seen a few different strategies where traders will set TP1, TP2, etc and take off 50% at TP1, another 30% off at TP2, move SL to Be and let the rest ride. Can someone please explain how to manually take 50% off, i am using MT4. Thank you!

You will need to proceed to CLOSE the order - but on the top - where you have the volume - you need to just use HALF of that... For example - if you are trading 1.0 lots then you will use 0.5 lots for the volume you want to close.

NOTE: it all depends on how you are trading - if you are using the minimum you can trade (volume) then there is no closing of the half... FE: my broker's minimum is 0.01 so I cannot close half of that position... If I use 0.02 then I can close 0.01 of that making it half!

Hope this makes perfect sense to you, and if it doesn't then let us know and we will explain it again!

Sorry to inform you Villlas but I've been an FX trader for over 5 years and there aren't many of those about. What 'advice' did I give that you take offence to?

Is this a discussion board or simply a board where we are all supposed to just stick charts up then say 'Thank you thank you thank you' etc to the OP...btw I have NO BEEF WHATSOEVER with the OP. I don't see what your problem is?

As a matter of FACT, Dredding82 booted me from his chat room because he couldn't find my name of FF, I posted the question to his thread as I had no other...
As a matter of FACT...i did take you off ignore soon as i saw your posting was removed. As for the question it was one that others and myself had answered many times before.

Yes -people will try to complicate things hoping to improve the win / lose ratio. But they forget trading is largely phsycological so you MUST accept/expect some losses

Nice to see you back. I have read most of your posts along with Lawgirls.
Very impressive. My aim is to achieve similar.
