A bit of a mixed bag. Indices were a bit of a let down. That'll teach me for saying in a previous post that they were always consistent.

DOW -1 -1 B/E
S&P -1 -1 B/E
FTSE +1

E/U +0.25
G/U +1 B/E
A/U -1 B/E
U/CAD B/E
U/CHF +1
E/J -1 B/E

Total = -2.75%

FOMC statement / press conference have moved the markets alot more than usual for this time of day. Tomorrow's figures will be too erratic for my liking, so I'm not going to be trading tomorrow.

Hey Line Trader nice thread.
I do something quite similar but only on indices.
Do your calculations take into account days with larger ranges like Thursday to give you wider envelopes on the Friday.


First post on here as mainly use T2W but it seems like all the action is over here.

FTSE +1 -1 -0.2

E/U -1 -1 +1 B/E
G/U +1
A/U +1 +1
U/CAD +1 +1 +1 +1

E/J +1 -1 +1

Result for today = +7.4%

LT

A big thanks to you for starting and maintaining this journal thread. I have a day job which I enjoy and have no intention of giving up. Luckily, being based in Australia I can trade the London session after I get home from work (depending how tired I am!). In developing my own trading system over the past two years, I have been drawing the previous day's high, low and today's open to give me some indication of directional bias. I only trade the cable using the M1 chart.

So it is with interest that I have been placing your A,B,C,D lines on my chart as well for the past three weeks. It has been extremely informative and educational. I am totally against spoon feeding as a way of learning so I will continue observing and learning. Thanks again.

VERY good results made, well deserved. im currently using my own system so i dont wanna give up on it just yet, but i think i may try yours soon, especially if you keep posting results like that lol

i like your rule of no trading after 4pm but i have only one tip mate. make a second rule to stop trading after making 10% for the day, think it would help you immensly

10% for the day????

I dream of days like that...

If you read earlier posts you'll see that once 3 trades have hit target then I'll call it a day........

Just a thought... What is the point in being secretive about how you trade? Just to show off the results? To make people want your system? Or maybe it's just to be a dick? Yeah I get it this is a journal and not a trading system thread but the fact is 99.9% of the time people explain what their doing, at least vaguely, unless their selling something.

Johnny2pips,


FACT 1:-

You are correct...... This IS a JOURNAL!!!!!

FACT 2:-

If I were to try and explain my method everyone would have different line levels every day... My take of a chart might be different to the next person!!!

Now, run along and take your sour grapes with you!!!!!
