No TP I don't do TP's I'll manually close when I think it's time, I do not predict I merely go with the flow or flows as it is.

If it wants to move into a nice uptrend and keep rocking for the next week and 500pips I'm more than happy to hold it, in short.

60MM,

Don't take this the wrong way, but you get very excited about your trades, I was the same a long time ago, it becomes an addiction, that addiction will make you trade out of the need for a trade and badly, get that addiction in check.

When it becomes boredom and you have to force yourself to trade, then your getting somewhere.

Over coming the boredom is my current issue, why I barely trade.

I've got no clue which way it'll go, just playing my method / the stat's don't take trading so personally.

And it's 60pips due to the 2nd position I really wish would of filled, 1.5pips away or something.

No room for emotions here get them in check!!

Hey look guys

i really dont give a shit if turveyd trading is good or bad,but you are bullying him,if hes wrong then hes wrong,hes going to add money to his account to raise his possible loss,which from what i can see he can ill aford to do. so,somtimes one needs to stand up to the position they believe to be in.

if this guy pulls it of then good luck to him,

if he dosnt,then he will feel far worse then those that choose to be more fortunate.

but come on ,

let him find his way for right or wrong.

somtimes nothing said is poetry.

personly i hope he posts accounts that desplay his dreams

So by that admission you have no idea at all what your expected or possible risk/reward is on a trade,

just chuck an arbitrary amount of your account on and hope and pray it goes your way, exiting when you feel like it...

yeah i see lots of successful traders doing that, cause it works...

I know my risk currently is 60pips so ???

My expectation is what ever the market will give me, single position I'd expect 60 - 80 pips, both positions in I'd expect 140 - 180 those are my actual live average results by the way.

I'll repeat 80% win rate, R:R 1.3:1.

IF AU would of suck hard to 1.0350 then you'd of cut your profit with your TP short by 70 pips, why I don't use TP's, TP's is a profit maximiser.

AU H4 pocket trade short.. hit tp1, closed half, will shoot for daily bottom on other half
Is this the TP your referring to that you posted? How can you TP at the 'daily bottom' when you dont know what the daily bottom is going to be?

Tis funny isn't it!!

He was pretty close this time, which sadly just enforces the mind set you can actually predict well anything, but it's a coincidence.

You simple can't know if a AU buyer loading up 2mil postions for his master is going to jump into the fold or not.

its on the chart... the tp line on the chart i posted...

s/r will help gauge the end of the days move, then price action will either respect it or invalidate it... in my eyes thats what trading is

Making predictions with no idea if they will play out or not, I find that kinda pointless myself.
Evidently you've not heard of the word 'probability' then.....you know, trading, probability, no? No, ok then.......


Why am I not surprised......

Mine is mainly entering with the trend on a pull back and seeing if the existing trend resumes and does it's job.


Mine is logical!! yours is emotional.

if you can read price and s/r on all timeframes there will be clues and hints as to the markets sentiment, if you get good at it then you can make high probability trades from entry to exit...

if you don't believe that is possible fair enough...

Or you get the odd win from random chance and forget the losers, that would be my take on your situation.

I've been where you are, it won't end well most likely, although I hope it will cause I'm no pipmutt.

Personally I have a weird desperation to crack $400 everytime i get near I get more gambly to crack this and I think it's 9 times thus far I've crashed the account back to sub $100, the I rebuild it via trading and repeat doh!! ( but without this I'd be rich and driving a ferrari I'd of likely crashed and killed myself so all good LOL )

I'm NOT GOING TO LOSE, AVERAGE DOWN, MOVE SL, OMG Repeat repeat MARGIN CALL!!! you'd think I'd get lucky just the once and it'd turn my way LOL

Quoting Turveyd
not cashing in unfortunately, blowing it $100 to $400 in say 2months and back to $100 area inside of a few hours, when the market just won't change direction and you dig in and keep getting more.

Right.....
