There you can see my trades today. Mostly scalps with a manual drawdown and manual sl ( watching the trades) ( TP:10, SL:15 max). Got 5/2 w:l ratio. What counts is the balance at the end of the day. Ofcourse MM is strictly applied.
Mind u that we have a bank holiday today so caution is advised; ) Bank holidays are usually non trading days, still profit is profit when u know when and how.

Last trade was manually closed as my EA ( for the strategy i adopted) opened a trade w/o my approval. It was manually closed for some very small profits.

Hello all

Been following this thread for a while now and I have some vouches now so I can post.

I am a scalper for the most part, in and out of trades within minutes so I will not be posting my scalps. But I do want to add a bit of short term position trading to my trading plan. I have traded this way in the past with some limited success but nothing getting even close to my scalping results. I would appreciate some help from you guys so I will post my orders for today. Take profits are all open and decided on levels + PA. Please let me know what you think.

Welcome Agro I can see you like to draw the lines near 80s and 20s. Thats a good thing as 80s and 20s are natural s/r levels and big money likes to play with it. So if u have a confluence of Fibs, 80s, 20s and PP, u can rarely miss a trade.

Your chart is ok. Do u use it for counter scalps ( fade) or trend scalping?

We can see that the price has already touched projected bullish top. Remember thou the levels are more precise in ranging market as when trending they are usually broken because of new ATR value.

SO you can look the levels as very accurate and they always get hit, but when we are in strong trend PA will bounce off the levels and subsequently print new ones depending on trend direction.

SO if 2758 gets broken, that means we are in bullish correction mode 2780 ,2800 and 2820 are possible targets then.
Very important thing is to distinguish between RANGE and TREND.

Range can be played by fading the price on tops/ bottoms in both directions. Trend is ONLY buy/sell on pullbacks.

hey T - now we're ready !

do u trade gold? if yes (or not) it looks ripe for a drop south big... heres a daily view with support resistance levels and some TL...

we have overbought daily 14 day stoch osc. values, and this old support possible becoming resistance.


Read only if interested:
in possible time analysis (no fooling around) it could drop it would be possibly in 7h from now as gold's harmonic cycle with the lunar apogee and perigee (nearest and furthest from earth). again im not fooling around trying to be 'right' by predicting. its about reacting well to possible time value of the price then.


it is also rising to the bearish trendline.



conclusion: we might see usd strength and if the boucne is strong - eur/usd might crash too with gold maybe?

any comments/thoguhs? (only positive please)

I dont trade gold but i can give a technical standpoint anaysis based on what I see.According to your chart I can see the price has touched MAs and Bearish trendline and it goes in confluence with OB sto where they are ready to cross. But also I can see there is a gap which may get filled so u need to pay attention to that also as the gap collides with ur purple MA.

the gap is the downside... yes


if u are interested here are past apogees and perigees (some of them) with gold. a beautiful harmonic... duh it doesnt move gold - but its cool how it flows with it also reached ADR high.

but lets see in US session if the supply of sellers will come or not

Hey T

The answer is both. I prefer trend scalping but always enter on a pullback. I am happy to fade a good level without any PA confirmation but trend scalping gives me the confidence to scale out and hopefully catch a runner, whereas if I am fading I will generally take full profits at 3-15 pips depending on the situation.

Here is a good example of a trend scalp. This is my first scalp for today. I scaled out in 1/3s. Probably should have ignored my first profit taking area considering PA on the 10s chart but I like to make sure of the first trade of the day so I am not playing catch up. Also, normally I would let the last 1/3 run with a bit more room, but we are approaching heavy resistance (63-80) in my opinion so I kept it nice and tight.

Here BUMA. I have used your chart.

U can try to sell the top but pay attention to the gap which hasnt been filled and it coincides with purple MA. Also you can sell at the break of the last low with BPC formation.

its quite heavy bull momentum bar here on hourly - as my plan tells ill wait 7hours see Pa around then i guess.

now people profit take after a bull charge. i need more sellers signalling to go short.

and id wait maybe for stability to take place within the keltner channels
