Quoting pmullin86
I mean it is still me entering myself but it just helps with lot size and trailing and such so I don't have to manually calculate...but I use it sometimes need to more than I do....but the times that I don't its usually because I would not have been able to use a script either...
Ok - now it's clear - thanks.

Cheers

hi pmullin86,
would you mind sharing your trade entry scripts? Thanks a lot.

Do they set the initial SL correctly( Last Semaphore plus spread - I guess this is what you do)

Just looking back and today was a really good day...I miss the days like today but the 15 minute ruled across the board on every time frame..nice solid entries for practically every pair...just tallied everything up and it seems I came out with about 30% today...the charts all tell a story though as the prices all broke out from there price patterns shown on the higher time frames with usd chf in an ascending triangle and eur usd breaking out from a symmetrical triangle which could also be looked at as breaking out from a descending triangle with a nice pullback to the ceiling of the triangle and than a very aggressive rejection...and nzd bouncing off nice resistance on the daily forming what appears to be a daily ascending triangle with a nice strong ceiling so far...all subjective of course but just the way I see things...haven't been trading much since the market has been kind of dead lately for me and giving some entries but not many that I really like so I've been on the sidelines.....but as everyone keeps telling me thats how it is at the end of the year...

Well, another pretty nice day...noticed on the aud, eur usd, and nzd usd 60m chart there was a nice little range established so I set pending orders pips above and pips below and went to sleep to wake up right as my pending orders were triggered and a good percentage of the break out was caught....price hesitated to drop a bit as it broke out and than pulled back up to test the broken support now turned resistance but shortly after...it ended up giving away and I closed the day with roughly 11% with the aud usd being the major bread winner today...

Weird though.... I was kind of sure that today would be less down movement and more consolidating or retracing on the higher time frames but the market proved me wrong haha...

Had a nice triangle breakout today with price on the 5 minute testing and failing the bottom trendline forming the trend line along with some good hidden divergence to solidify the entry with an 8.5 pip stop loss for 67 pips... not bad for some R:R...
