Anyone put any trades on today? I'm still in this GU trade from earlier. TP has been set at 1.5610
Turned into a downward direction, but thats a lot more pips than you generally go for.


US sessions have all been useless haven't they recently, guess there all on holiday where as Europe / UK don't seem to be that lucky / rich these days.

the price almost always hits my original profit target anyway if its not a losing trade, I'm just an idiot at times and close out beforehand only to experience frustration of 'if only i'd of left it on...'

Monday and tuesday last week, DEAD like this, then 7pm area GU started a downtrend which went on for hours and many pips.

We shall see.

Okay as it's you, I'll risk a couple of million to try to force this thing down for you.

Volume is so low, you could likely do it yourself.

Gold is getting all the action today, a 100pip move down just in no real time, where as GU's managed maybe 10pips.

SNOOZE fest, no point at all watching the evenings is there until next month.


Told you the summer sucked, I hadn't factored in I wake late and only trade the US session, UK session seems pretty good interestingly.

Got a new method as always, looks good, simpler, expect live 60%+ win rate and should work with tight SL's and give a very good risk to reward ratio.


Find out if I get any time at all, over the next few days I guess.


GDR back to longer term bigger pip moves ?? glued to the screen not your thing ??

New method in test is looking great but.......

Yeah for now, I'll be quite busy in the days for the next few weeks so won't have the time to sit there all day, so bigger TF it is, that GU short got hit at break even sometime in the night, so I've placed another sell order @ 1.5683 with a TP of 1.5610

whats your new method?

I'll have a look at yer method later, gonna start back proper start of september, trade the 4hr movements and trade the movements inbetween on the smaller TF, so S/D areas on the 4hr and psych levels/pivots on the smaller.

Quick question for you lot, would anyone be up for starting a trade room via MSN messenger or even Facebook? both are free.

If anyone is interested, PM me your msn messenger email or facebook name and I'll get adding, at the start of each trading day (for me, 7-8am GMT) I'll load msn messenger and invite everyone I've added into a big conversation...
