I have never used it and most likely won't start. I tend to only say something if it is worth saying and anything worth saying takes more than 140 chars.
I started a twitter account a few months ago, mainly to follow comments for FX Daily etc. Most of the stuff is random c.r.a.p. Not sure if some of these guys actually trade or they just talk about the possiblities.

PIPs, PIPs everywhere and not a trade to take......

I see none too many clear entry signals -

Find myself fixated however on the EUR/GBP (0.8084) The dailey looks ripe for a pullback and trend continuation but has yet to cross - the H1 and H4 look like they are yelling short me zeep, short me...... Whats a boy to do? - listening to yelling pairs seems like a good way to deplete ones account...

I was just looking at the EURGBP too, it's a bit close to the middle Bollinger and the SMA100 for my liking, also it's been very spiky on the shorter time periods, I'm leaving it alone for the minute, sad that is though as I really want to sell something,, (or buy - don't mind really)
Don't ask me, I have no idea what's going on.

Finding it tough to pick a direction at the moment. Just gave up on AU & AJ shorts after trying to hedge them all day. Had to give up some of last weeks gains. Know I'm going to see them both head back down soon, but will have to leave them for now. Perhaps EG will show a clear trade sooner.

How about the usd/can? looks like a setup is almost there
To get more profit, not the entry but the exit will make the big difference

The exact hour after I closed by shorts on the AUDUSD & AUDJPY they turn down! You can only go so far "knowing" something will happen. I was "sure" the Aussie would go down, but too far in the red & too tired to let it go any further. But, it "could" have gone the other way, so had no choice.

Hope someone found some joy on EUR pairs.

Have to go to the other job now (business trip all week...)

If you were that sure why didn't you find the last s/r level, put your stop behind it and let the trade run? If you've just gone live you really need to think in terms of longer trades with add ons rather than little gains here and there. Good luck with the new account but I'll say one thing... A few small % losses are much easier to get back than one large thumping loss. That doesn't mean use tighter stops, it means use smaller position sizes and prepare yourself for the fact that you can and will sometimes take multiple losses in a row before you get one feeble winner, it's part of the game.

I saw eurgbp turning on the daily but it's early hours of the morning here so not going to start watching it yet. Looks like a nice down trend may develop. This pair doesn't move much but it's got a higher pip value. Some trades to break even would be nice and let it run.

I'm only using daily and hourly so can't tell you about the 4 hour but this pair is chopping about all over at the moment so I'm inclined to leave it.

Ok, just reread this and this suggests that you hadn't defined your risk before you placed the trade. Big mistake. You really should set your stop loss as you place the trade and then leave it alone unless you are moving to break even or trailing it lower. If you had defined the risk, ie how much could you lose and at what price is your trade hypothesis invalidated, in other words where do I want to be out of this trade if it doesn't go the way I expect? You should be able to place your trade, place your stop loss (preferably with a trailing ea) and be comfortable to come back 3 or 4 hours later and see what happened. If not then you're probably using too big a position size.

'Morning all,
This might sound like a silly question; does anyone have an EA for a trailing stop that works nicely in MT4?
reason I ask is that I've tried a few and they all work on a practice account but whenever I use them on a live account the trade is closed immediately when the EA is active.
My broker says that EA's are permitted.
So,, I want to try one that someone absolutely knows is working.
It's not that I don't trust 'what it says on the internet' or anything paranoid like that.
Any comment would be welcome (even if I'm being a complete moron and it needs pointing out to me)
Don't ask me, I have no idea what's going on.

Guys, Thanks for the encouraging words!

Hugh, I'll definitely be trying to follow your advice & methods - that is why I've been actively following your thread after all. I'll keep the demo account for experimenting and try to ease in to the live account.

Regards,
Ozefex
