You may call it whatever you're comfortable with, Larsey. I call it...my bastard slayer method...

Two notes about those figures. I'm carrying about 1.5% positive equity that I may close in the next couple of minutes...it's locked flat in a hedge, but isn't reflected in the above. The "This Month" figure started last week...it isn't since May 1st.

I don't enter one trade and sit on my hands. I enter trades based on zones...usually supply/demand based. As I said...call it what you may...I'm sure Chilly doesn't...
nice

still grid trading
This is my holiday fund!

My "normal" accounts play with basically half this risk...so are in and around half those gains, too...small discrepancies from fills/non-fills, slippage, etc.

first trade was a wash.. the pending one i was stopped out completely with a 6 pip loss. long again at 3722.. sl below 2715.. atm ,,, next h close (in 8 min) above 2726.4 is a good sign.. since we are below 2735 target would be above 2909. i was going to wait for Mondays pink box to long. but i am keeping a tight leash on these. 2726.4 is a LM on the chart. Fridays target for 2833 is still valid. its where theses levels come from.
came back with a s/o.. -1/2% today.. out for now.. without a edge #
anyone have the fb low.. i see 31.7x atm

Shame on you !!!. .....With such an entry and fading swing levels for 20 pips is not acceptable.... the best call of the week is not withdrawn just because of your honesty .... lol just kidding bro... clearing early happens to all of us...

In any case a tick is a tick and the call was a good one...

Thanks mate!

I can be too early to pull the plug at times, but I like to put something in the bank. That trade had been open for 7 hours, and started to retrace. I'd rather be partially right than have it retrace on me and go into DD at that point while next levels are tested.

It didn't work out too badly. I did jump back in 20 pips below my initial exit on a failed retrace and closed half for +35 and half for +45.

Cheers mate.

1492-8 mofu is a bitch... now we need a little bounce, 1563/85 is enough .. then with a new low 1538 is in the cross-hairs.. maybe on that bounce if it happens eu 2833 will give it up.

Dayum...your pee is the pulse of the investing world!

surely some sub $30 action will allow the shakeout to commence...particularly a close or two.
