Alright. Numbers fall in proper places!
You are back to "Re-Allowed" Status and can keep rolling.
KINDLY make sure the details like Equity, deposits, Traded instruments remain visible (If you want & if its possible with explorer you can hide position sizes, TP's & SL's)

I see your equity graph (in current attempt), though still being underwater, is making a inverted Head and shoulder. Hope the Pattern plays out well
Best of luck

I will be starting with new attempt soon & will be setting up trade explorer. (may be today/tomorrow)
Its cool. Further new FF's trades (beta)is also good.
From there only, I just came to know about trades of two of your guys @hilmy83 & @trumpcard..that your are taking longs here @ 1.3270

You know we can filter trades by pair, buddies, vouches, entries, exists etc. Though usually its a lot of noise, in absence of filters.

Though i am not sure what TF you got in mind, but IMO its pending a correction and on H1 & H4 TF shows a characteristic & typical Bearish Wedge (it prolly completed the "d" leg @ high of 1.3284). I won't be surprised if it sees correction ...anything till 1.3180, at least.
1.3295-13300 is definitely a good short for me!

I don't want to affect your opinions, in any way (of course, only if it does). Just putting my view here.

(I see overall USD index strength (short TF for sure) given the fact i am bearish for GBPUSD too)

P.S. @hilmy83 i even saw you closing shorts at this top , for few pips loss (probably you are also thinking to short but bit indecisive)

Agree
I am personally not able to make a bias (in larger TF like D1 or W1 even) in one direction, with conviction enough to trade on it ..BUT i am trying to make one and take some positions (mainly still have long bias as far as USD index is concerned; Greek can't be fixed in 1 day. EU issue is a pandora box...and yes it has already opened. USD is another loser anyway though- just another story. Its bit tricky "the big picture")

Anyway i see you are short, again.
Last H1 bar candle just ended looks bearish
Though, the price hasn't yet broken down from the lower trendline of the bearish wedge i talked about. Lets c.
(Also Ben bernanke is babbling right now..listen to that too for any leads)

You never actually talked about how you trade..."My edge is people" is only what i know about

1.3295-13300 is definitely a good short for me!
Euro Slapped off the spike up...hitting the support. Presently @ 1.3182.
If moves sub-1.3180... 1.3140 is next good support.
Lets c

@hilmy though Trumpcard is still biased about his longs (he just took another). not sure what you have been doing. I just saw you close the short and went long before the downmove...and that too once again?
Bro that's too much indecision . Just my take. I am not sure about ur way of trading.

Alright
Going live with 18th attempt.
Starting Equity: 98.40 USD
Target Equity: 9840 USD
Broker: Fxpro
Leverage:500:1
Trade Explorer Link : http://www.forexfactory.com/forexsaint#27

Regarding EURUSD
Have a short bias overall, as posted.
Presently it has been kicked off 1.3254, down 100 pips to 1.3154. (USDX has just popped up; Nice patterns there too)
Dang..i was really looking for it to hit 1.3260 (MN Pivot)...to short but it just didn't hit.
On W1 TF,
Looks quite bearish. 1.3000 appears to be next MAJOR support )

Lets Wnwatch

@Participants
- As i mentioned before about the new CUSTOM START feature on FF's Trade Explorer, we have adopted the explorer as our only trade publisher from here on. It has really improved a lot, is out of its beta stage and very flexible and customizable.
- Accordingly other methods have been withdrawn & no other current participant would be affected. Kindly see UPDATES on the thread
- I also would like to inform about usefulness of FF's new features called TRADES (in beta ). Pertinent to mention here that every participant can track each other's performance by adding them to buddy list (using filter option). Further one can filter out trades based on pairs, vouches of a member, entries, exits, winners, losers, etc.Overall, it appears quite handy for measuring relative performance or to know what other guys are doing

@ Readers
- I would also invite more members to take part, given the fact that the only obligation, we HAD for this challenge, of updating trades & equity every weekend, has been removed.
- Further we have moved to ONLY 1 & same-for-all option of performance monitoring i.e Forexfactory's Trade explorer which will bring more accuracy (& reliability) on results/performance.
- Also to those who preach a lot around on FF, "I can only do this ", "just booked 1000pips", "now spending time on my yatch, with a chick", "Thanks to my new proprietary holy grail indi " how about showing all what you got..... just by trading?

Now, you are fully free to do ONLY one thing & that is just "TRADE"

So,
Set things up, Join & bring it on
Best of Luck

U r welcome.
BUT the current equity on your account is 72.67 USD and not 51USD.(I am sure, u missed the point that previous trading history isn't a part of this challenge)

Kindly goto your explorer >Click options and enter a custom start date i.e. today/yesterday. (If you want your previous trading record also, to be displayed, you can probably add another explorer with same account with custom date for this challenge.)
Let me know and i would update your details in first post.

I am sure that would motivate you.

best of luck to you too, fxsaint

P.S: on the time i participate, i should post whenever i open a position + reasons why i took the trade, correct?

-Done. Info added to the main post. You are LIVE now as participant no. 24
http://www.forexfactory.com/asphyxia#66
-Yes, your Target equity should be 6806 USD (or 680600 USD on explorer)
- BTW I am in touch with explorer support about why micro accounts are shown like that. Hope to get a logical reply from them soon.


P.S. Regarding posting trade setups, charts, reasons , etc for taking trades, feel free to post them. Its a good thing noting down rational for trade/s you take (like a trade journal). You are encouraged to do so BUT its not a mandatory rule (or a obligation). You can do as you like.

okay, got it.
it's not the trade explorer's fault, it's the broker policy to turn the dollar into cents on micro account.

regards,
I know (there has been another participant before with same account type) but the issue is... in account details, it still shows "Standard Lots" as lot size. Logically there has to be some way of distinguishing such broker accounts and i am in contact with explorer support regarding the various solutions/options and other minor issues also (minor bugs)

Any way, its not much of importance, even if not sorted. 100 Fold is important.

so where is this son of a gun eurusd going ? 3400? i hope so otherwise i might lose more bills.

got long @ 3150

another thing to keep in mind is that this week range was around 150 pips. HIstory tells us that eurusd would revert to normal range (200-300) after a quite week..we'll see

"son of a gun" haha...
Not sure of 1.34. But would like to quote my post few days back

1.3295-13300 is definitely a good short for me!
So prolly a kiss of 1.3310 (an IMP Confluence resistance -PA, Pivotal R, Pattern extreme, etc).
One important thing to consider is the fact that D1 TF clearly shows a typical right shoulder forming for a bearish HnS. As long as the price doesnt go above 1.3350's , it would remain a typical short.
Given the fact that this HnS is upward slanting at neck, right shoulder can possibly go above left shoulder's high (i.e.1.3320 ).
But unless some IMP news comes out of anywhere, i don't think it will even make 1.3350's!

I saw your trade, u r good 100pips up!
Not sure when that quietness will end...but i also see some volatility ahead.
EURGBP
This pair is in such a squeeze/consolidation and it gonna explode coming days.. My bias is southwards. I am looking for taking entries in shorts around 8380's for a long TF ride.
