Back...

Wow, price barely moved.

I'm still confident it should be coming down though, even if just a retrace.

No shorts yet, just a slow crawl up for a bit, not enough to trade, to get the hourly and H4 back in line. I can see this pair just sitting here ranging for the rest of the session.

Feck, Cloggie is good........

Since nothing's happening, i might as well mention this...

No one ever tells you that when you become a trader, it's a lot of boredom at times.

Not scalping, no. I do mid term trading, but haven't really done any mid term trading all year. (at least on currencies)

You know what, my friend...he eerily reminds me of the great one that we knew. Except he's got a much rougher edge.

Maybe it's because they're both old.

To be honest, that's what the big boys do. Look at JP and GS, they publish their losing days, and they are rare too, and that is for the whole shop. You need to compare it with that, not with the average retailer here.

It is all about cutting your losses short and getting a multiple out of the winners. On a really crap day, I may end up with more losers then winners, but still end up in the green in the end. I haven't had one of those in a while as we are ranging and scalping is pretty simple on days like we've had these past few weeks.

You scalp on the 1M time frame? (in conjunction with higher tf?)

This is a good start. I had this conversation wtih Twee before. FF reports what the retail brokers consider the "opens", proper traders are only interested in when you can see an influx of money coming into the market and that happens when the Stock exchanges open, so the above link should be a good start for you.

Don't go using forex "opens", there is no such thing, use the exchanges, that's when the big boys show up with their cash and that's what you are interested in....
Just wanted to get my basics timing right and it turns out they are not really that important.

Thanks for pointing me the right direction and it makes sense on the money flow and banks opening part.

Thanks Cloggie man for the link!
The confusing info on the net and DST off in Sydney from April 1st 2012 was driving me nuts on the opening. haha

Usually today would have been a great day but im short from a ways back just cant take them losing trades im a gambler at heart. I'll learn one day got too much on the table at the moment for my liking but will start reducing if price continues up, up overall so not complaining

That is probably one of the biggest hurdles a retailer faces in becoming succesful, the inability to cut the losses and letting the winners run.

I have seen it so many times over the years, even professionally, plenty just can't get it. You see it here day after day, there are so many explorers attached to members here that clearly show that trading just isn't for them.

I can usually cut my loss at a few pips, so I can have 6-7 losses in a row and only need one winner and am back at BE.

I see plenty guys here that finally cut a loss at 50 or 100 pips and then need 30-40 trades just to get back to BE, that is almost impossible as they are so scared that they are going to get another loss before they get to the 40 winners that they certainly will.
