THAT...was a $5000 position on its own!!! Shitty thing is that, as I said, I moved it down slightly from where I originally had it placed...was looking for a touch of that LT TL (red).

Ah well...fak it. Tough to complain too hard when the other position has made out like it did...better than nothing. Just closed some on $43+. Will probably close some more fairly sharpish, and debate keeping a 0.1 lot running....

Did have an actual point, too...other than being an after the fact hero. Two points, actually...

First...and which I alluded to: This game is always so bitter/sweet. Although I'm delighted with my trade, and have made out rather handsomely...obviously a sting involved due to the lower (larger) order just missing (and would have filled if I didn't move it down looking for precision).

Second point...more to gator about what we were talking about last night...and anyone else that gives a shite: I feel I'm better off playing the "precision" end of things on my MM once in trades. Trying to "nail" pip-perfect entries always seems to leave me a little dissatisfied. This is a bastard's game; some of the large drivers don't like to let TA levels play out perfectly...just leave enough untouched to leave you wondering/scratching your head. Additionally...bastard broker's integrity comes into the mix when looking for such precision.

I've nearly resigned myself to the fact that I'm happier, and an actual better (more profitable) trader, when I loosen my entries (get in earlier) and exits (get out later...to allow bastard maneuvers beyond key levels...aka...stop hunts)...but keep my MM (% wise) absolutely precise, based on those "earlier/later" conditions. It means when I hit a home run, it won't be quite as large as when I hit a precise entry, but...although tough to quantify...I would say I miss out on less than 10% of what the "perfect trade" would yield. Add in the number of times I miss those "perfect" entries by the spread...or a pip or so...and that 10% is made up for very quickly. Hence...the reason I scale into "zones."

/Ramble over.

Nicely done Ken. 1742 might be a toughie alright
Agreed, brother pipper!

Certainly for today anyway. I had both of those trades on a tight (collective) stop. Had NFP come in-line with the ADP figure, I'd say I would have been stopped.

Loving your charts of late...keep it up!
