So now you are scalper on S/D levels.
Are u still trade the pivots and psy levels ?
I find no clear pattern on these levels recently. Strange

Yeah I still trade pivots and psy levels on my MT4 account and do my scalping/S&D trading on my ECN account (cTrader...hardly used Mt4 this month) where the spread is never above 0.3, I prefer doing it this way as with my mt4 account you can only set orders 5 pips away from the current price, which for scalping isn't very good as I have to set up orders quite a bit away, plus I like to drag and drop my orders on my chart instead of having to go through the time it takes to set up an order in mt4...

I'm currently long on EU from the daily pivot area @ 1.2543 TP @ 1.2580, although that did line up with a nice demand level so thats why I took it

I'm not currently in the house and have no access to msn messenger pal. Will be back on it tomorrow morning sometime

My EU long got hit at break even, EU is quite unpredicable as of late, finding gbpchf and other pound pairs easier along with nzdusd, which is surprising.

They all go through phases pick whats working best for you at the time.

Eu is just nasty today.

Dax and gu tracking well nzdusd and gbpchf are working very well to.

I'm anticipating a retest of the WP @ 2467 within the next 24h before we move north again
Looks like today's S2 @ 2486 has slowed the onslaught..lets see if she will still push onto the WP..alternatively this may be the turn North again...inter-day of course...

I agree my main focus it has days where it does nothing but if it's got a direction then its unlikely to change its mind making it ideal for momentum traderers.

MT4 is ugly at trading function. I think most people only use for charting (nice) or auto trading. I tried the cTrader demo, it's handy tool for scalping

Aye, mt4 is basic compared to other platforms. I'm always switching between the two but started using ctrader more now.
