The strongest category of support I have. There are about half a dozen more at different levels created in the past one year or so. If one plays them right, more than 50% chance of getting aboard a decent trend.

ps. Remember we have a minimum 60 pip limit for this demo. Think what is possible with a 10 pip limit and 5 to 20 trades a day.

Ahhhh that is where you are wrong kinda, my method reverses fast low volume moves with very little losers.

Basically it doesn't cost much over night to dump the market 100pips which hits the sl's and gets retail thinking it's going down and selling / shorting they then get to accumulate millions of lots slowly keeping the price down until the sellers dry up then up she flies.

IT;s a game based around the psychology of retail trades to take there money don't be a standard retail trader to profit in this game,

And up they all go, currently on low volume, no ones selling the people who shorted expecting it to continue are having there SL's hit.

Remember, if no ones selling and someone wants to buy then you can gap up 200pips cause the market will move to a level where someone can / will sell to the buyer.

Then they will just reverse the process, occasionally they throw in a curve ball ofcourse.

Slow moves continue, fast moves reverse generally, not always but enough to easily profit off.

Trade#36 1% (pending order)

Trade#37 1% (Pending order)

Trade#38 1% loss (Pending order)

Yes, this is what happened. Was confused because two out of four pending orders are still remaining. Now I remember that one more pending order was placed after trade 34 hit sl.

Since opening Micro account in total with messing around I'm at 59% profitable, since taking it seriously I'm at 70%, if you merge multiple positions into 1 cause of my trading method then I'm at 85% profitable.

Over 96 positions, likely 50 area actual trades, account +250%.


Come on Chicky, you can do better, you have to do better!!

Four wives were left by forex traders who lost in 2008. Just a word of caution that I cannot afford a 6th one.

Good observation for a bounce of "200" pips. Sl you suggested is very appropriate. The only concern I have is that if it breaks this support may not bounce much.

I don't trade anything other than eur/usd. I get things mixed up. Getting old and undertreatment for this stuff plus have to remain focused on the objective of this thread.

it's have 2 may support , one around 3020 other one historical support. my fundamental analyse (on a$) says Au should go back to 0.98 ~ 1.00 range. and next rate cut should take it to 92~ 95 range. saying that i don't expect rate cut in December as RBA might worry about inflation (Xmas shopping free.). if other half can hold it's status it will hit tp. i am taking tiny lot. i want to know is it worth for the swap (-$18/lot). i was missed shorting as i was expected 1.3920 to short but move limited to 1.38 .
