Is your strategy normally to trade during Asian session? If not, if you only allow yourself a certain number of trades per week why waste them?

I'm only starting this 10 trades per week rule this week. i got a -20 pips this morning, and i'm emotional...(i've to confess, it doesn't feel good to have a losing trade on a monday morning)

i don't really like the asian session but i live in asia.... i'm so tempted to trade early and hit my daily target and call it a day...

You're SLs are too tight...

What is your target per pip?

I live in Asia too, and I trade throughout the day (part-time trader), but for someone that have a small TP / SL, you either

a) limit yourself too much
b) choose the wrong entry / exit points

I've traded since the market open this morning, and I kept scalping the bounces, made some nice pips (but my target per pip is small so that I'm within my MM)

My overall target per month is to make 10% of my total funds. Even if I make 7%, I will remember that I never had this 7% before this. It's just a chance in mindset.. don't always go for the big win, because then you will take smaller risks (smaller SLs) and with how you're trading with non optimum entry points, more often than not, it's your SLs that will be hit.
Buy! Buy! Sell! Sell! Just make sure you have proper MM!

Im in Asia also and find the Asian market the hardest to trade - I tend to stay out of it until London opens.. better movement with London and US markets

Nice to see everyone is still gaining around here. Last person I'd thought I'd see is Incredibble, or whatever his name is, but hey, if he's profitable, he's doin' it.

WE're trapped between two S/R lines right now : 1.3212 held the pair from falling and switched to resistance later on. This was the bottom border of tight range trading in February. 1.3150 is the lowest point recorded in October 2011, is now a pivotal line in the middle of the range. My current bias is bearish, and I've open one short

Entry : 1.3192
SL : 1.3232
TP : manual, in about 6-8 hrs.

Good pips to ya'll, I'll start going on-line more and more from now.

LE: aiming for at least 50 pips in these moves, maybe 100-120 if 1.3150 fails today.
Please, just slap me around if I'm being silly ...

I like that also! I also have this added to it - maybe a bit of confluence - weekly and monthly pivot with the other green trendline is the first one does not work..

One of the worst things you can do is force trades, you say you gave the machine gun so really try to embrace the sniper approach and wait for the perfect set-up at the most opportune time of day.

So much negative views for the EU from analyst, they're all saying its going down even more this week. 1.300 is a projected estimate from the majority of analyst off of cnbc - squawk box. I'm thinking the start of this week is going to be headed to the upside myself just do to 4hr charts and the amount of downward movement last week. Plus NFP on friday should be promising for the US. I imagine that the NFP will determine if we hit 1.3000 or not.

you still have some machine gun influence , stay front of chart rest of the day without triggering (it's one the biggest punishment for a trader) , it will help you to use your bullets wisely next time
