some gcad trades from last friday.. i liked them as they worked out as a larger scalps within larger spread pair..






some of you may be thinking my trades are crazy.. how can you take multiple trades on multiple instruments..

easy..
1. acc size: i always maintain decent size trading accounts
2. position sizing corresponds with the account size: not all entries are 1 std lots.. i use smaller lot sizes too.. sometimes i even use a mini lot depending on the risk aspect of the entry.
3. beside heavy scalping, i also maintain intra-day positions to create a "buffer of comfort" which helps my trading psychology and productivity tremendously. for instance, one of my account's open trades current balance below.



there are many running trades.. some are not in profit yet but end of the day bottom line counts.

anybody can learn how to read charts as long as you put enough time and dedication into it.. how long time? it'll depend on your learning speed, it may take some 6 months while others few years..

however, learning part is only a base to start.. most hardest part is putting what you learned into practice.. even though we learned that losses are part of the business but when we get couple or so hits then our psychology kicks in as a natural defense mechanism. it's built in mechanism for self preservation.. very difficult to change nature..

there are many publications about this aspect of trading.. i read some too.. did i discovered the magical formula?

only magic i discovered to overcome negative aspects of trading psychology are:
1. position sizing must be in sync with trading account size.. ie. it's not possible to trade anything larger than mini lots with a 10k trading account.
2. building a "buffer of comfort" was the biggest helper.

have many good ones...

oz scalps/trade..

some crude scalps and a uchf..

monster gap..




and some scalps

a simple trade that worked out nicely...

another simple trade turned out ok..

closed.. there seems more upside potential but i'm happy with 203p.

closed yesterday.. 242p. had temptation to close before but somehow i managed to resist.. it was a nice runner..

couple of crude trades closed on last friday..
upper one closed here..
lower one closed at around 103.50..

couple in two stages..

did many eu and gu scalps.. same captured eu scalps..

not all win of course.. however, my scalps was managed mostly by Luktom Visual Order Editor EA, which is set to 2 to 1.. profit tg 16p and stop loss 8p... often i expanded profit tgs but never sl.. end of the day my win/loss ratio was around 60/40 ..
