Day Trading for a Living

Here is my take, movng between the Pivot and the 1000ema nicely.


But ofcourse that's only worth say 7pips - 2.5pip spread = 4.5


Flat line, then a fast move on breaking via my method.


August SUCKS!! as does December!! don't plan to have to make money on either.

GU is quite a nice chart today, coulda kept playing shorts as it developed a downtrend, but turned up and doing nicely long on pull backs in theory.

DAX and DOW are random, EJ doesn't look to bad, aU looks nice but the those big swings are really small pip wise.

Gold had all...
Looks like the 1000ema is respected well on the 1m TF, should just sell at that once a bear candle appears, or long if above it and a bull candle appears and scalp like mad

GU showed some resistance at the daily pivot. Short at 1.5538 right after the MACD cross on the M15. SL at 1.5550 (then moved at BE). TP at 1.5525.
SL hit right afte the news. I took a chance!

Only recently added the 1000 again, doesn't always work ofcourse but learning to cope with that slowly, added in the 500 and 1500 aswell all respected well with how to use logic.

Removed some of the faster ones to keep it simple to.


Scalping like mad, is the plan!!

Kids today, so Note useage time if they don't need 100% attention LOL
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

I've been looking at a 1m 'supply & demand' trading method and its looking very promising from what I've been doing this morning and yesterday for scalping like a motherfooker between periods of where theres no decent entrys for longer term trades (by that I mean my normal trades), it can't be done in MT4 as brokers spreads are too high and you net an average 8-10 pips average on a trade but you don't win them all however that ratio will go down drastically once I master these said levels, its working well on cTrader fxpro ecn where the spreads are always 0.0 - 0.4 on all the majors but more towards the 0.1 range.

I'm demoing it at the moment with good success. I'm finding GU and AU to be the easier to do this with also.

Interested?

Interested ? well ofcourse if it makes money.

Remember those ECN brokes tight spreads but you have a transaction cost which is the same as a spread. Work out what that is in Pips it generally comes to very similar.

Can't see exactly what you mean from those charts either!!

Just had loads bounce from the account ( charges ouch ) didn't realise how totally broke I am this month, GOT to start taking trading seriously and waking at 8am and stuff ASAP!!

Today was a system perfect uptrend day all round, should of made a absolute killing.



Sadly got to go to work

GET SOME!!

"supply & demand" remind me Sam Seiden's method.
i think he is a very successful trader on this method.

What is ecn's disadvantage if it can offer such a low spread ? People should all trade ecn then.

I missed the best selling chance on EU and GU

Scalp scalp scalp. +10

Thrown £200 into my live ECN account just to test the water @ 0.10 lot size with this method, as I know I wouldn't make the same decisions on demo as I would live, looking good so far...

Can only trade currencys with this cTrader, I guess thats why its called what it is doing pretty well with this 1m method however I'm finding it easier on the 2 minute charts...

Took that £200 to £242 this afternoon trading 0.10 lot and currently in a GU trade now long @ 1.56284... just closed that for +11 looks like its gonna reverse a bit, so £248 now, averaging 8-10 pips a trade so around £5-6 a trade so far.
