Risky

Its the only level throughout the day which gives you the best probability of a reversal move or a continuation of the intraday trend, which ever way you look at it

Don't blame you, losing a trade / cash on a friday never sets up for a good weekend.

Client just cancelled, so I plan to try to actually make a trade, we shall see.


How many pips in total this week dude ??

-7 I think here LOL

+73 for the week, its looking like my trading is gonna be split into two styles, todays trade was a bread & butter trade from the daily pivot, style 2 is trading if the price is quite a distance from the pivot on london open and only trading long if the price is above the pivot, and short if its below it and only entering at S/R pivots or psych levels, its looking good so far, combined the two this week and made a profit, but not made many trades to be honest.

GU long here, turned up, could have another up move we shall see.

SL -6, shoulda taken +5.


Wondering if I'd be better off, without my slower MA better get testing.

+73 is damn good, at your $ per pip rate anyways

Been working on my method all week to, looking more promising, just totally lacking in the balls department at the moment.

Yeah still compounding it, end of next month i'll probably up the lot size quite a bit and trade less.

This is what I'm looking at on GU, price moved down under a psych level, pulled back and this downmove is a small continuation and will touch 1.57039 at the very least I reckon!! but then again, the US has just opened.....


It was worth a shot, failed to break back over my MA's, sellers are in control so let the SL hit, don't mind risking 6 - 10 with the chance of making 30+.

Ofcourse a actual profit would be nice right about know LOL

Mental block on entering in an existing move needs sorting ASAP.

GU turning back up again typical LOL

My account is so small, when head is sorted back out, I've got to put the time in initially so I can compound and up the lot sizes then in time I'll scale back the trading time spent to.
