Ok mate, no probs. As you say, scale back your position size if it's affecting your trade management. Still, a profit is a profit.
A bit of a loose cannon right now just firing off trades all over. My next task is to sit down and draw up a strict trading plan and stick to it.

Here you go, this might help with drawing up a plan.
I didn't write it by the way.

Hi
I think this was the same area that I showed to Jns. And there was already one test of the level. It did give tiny bounce, but to me this pair is more up now than down. Just watching to see where to participate....

I didn't get yesterday break of the 1.0379 on audusd and had to leave pc, so I was stopped at BE. Second one this week... I think I should take some profits at first target and then leave the trade run.
Yep..think your right on that one.....Just looking for a scalp.. Not the best trade management for me ..

Update to AUDUSD.

I believe this was a confirmation to the upside, but lets see what will happen.

Recieved a nice bounce off the Demand area.. TP is just short of a 3:1 RR.. What I like about this TP is there is no other areas of Supply to hold things up.. The 5M has a minor stall area where price is stalling now..If we able to move through we should have a good opportunity to reach TP.

Will see

Stopped out...Yes, it was a late Friday trade but my RR was below my max tolerance for my account. Being on a smaller time frame we could have just as easily moved into the 4HR level. The week overall was good so we look forward to next week.

In response to my question he basically said we absolutely need to be taking profits at 1:1. Then he said it was something he wanted to talk about in the session but he never got to it.

I asked him again later but not really sure he saw the question.
Interesting comment:
"absolutely need to be taking profits at 1:1"

I seem to recall in Sam's earlier vid's a 2:1 or 3:1 was more the norm. Would be nice to find out the reasoning behind 1:1?? I'm sure there will be many ideas going forward.

Thanks for the info

I still set targets at 2:1 or 3:1. But still willing to take some off at 1:1 if PA sucketh.

But with my trading plan I will trail positions with a hard stop 7-9 pips above or below 15m swings. Also if the trend is moving strong eliminate the 2 or 3:1 targets and stay with the "hard trail" unless a very strong zone is approaching. On most strong trends a trailing stop on 15m high or lows will keep you in the position for usually most of it. Just still need to be aware of danger approaching. All this of course is if I will be able to see a computer of some sort through the day. Otherwise setting targets way before a zone change is my modus operandi

As for Sam's changing of profit taking areas. I can't help but think it is do to some of the wild swings we have been seeing because of mouths opening making various empty or at times true claims.

Somebody farted at the FOMC meeting. Must be giving lift to the dollar.

If I may suggest. Get this nailed down before your first trade on Monday.

Mine has

Mission statement.
Business plan.
Trading plan.
Trading systems
Position Management
Psychological Plan. (What state of mind do I have now...Should I be trading)

Countless other little doodads as well.

Hope this helps some traders out there

Hi,

I did take a second look at AUDUSD and I'm not so sure about the upside any more.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...37#post6033537
What makes me wonder is the LL in circle and the weak HH. So in fact both sides are possible and I'm a bit lost with this one. Luckily there are other pairs to trade.
I just like to take a wider look at the pair and if I can see a clear structure, then I would like to hold a trade, but in this case if I trade this I probably will just take a quick TP until the structure is clear again.

Awesome man. I have a trading plan for sure as far as entries/exits, trade management, and mission statement goes, but I'm missing other things. It'd be great if you can post yours (blur out anything you don't want revealed).

I found a trading plan template here, but it's really long. Personally, anything this long will just go unused by me. I'd like to build one that's short and sweet so I know I will go over it often and instill the principles in my mind.

That hh you speak of looks to be a reaction from a drop base drop and not that horizontal trend line you've drawn. Also if you had stops below the low that circle breaks i'm pretty sure they were hit. Take a look and see if price has done anything special previously at the circle lows. Just something to think about.

Click to Enlarge Name: AUD 9.23 Long Entry #1.JPG Size: 95 KB


This chart is just an overview on picking levels. When picking level KL had mention sometime back about levels vs. pull backs. I think Sam makes mention of this in one of hie vid's. I would like to offer up an example of this, as I see it.

#1 is a Demand Level. A rise - base - rise pattern. #2 is a pulled back/price retracement. The difference, I see, is #1 price is moving more sideways as opposed to, #2 where price is retracing more like the classic pull back.

I try to set my price / entry level based on more of a Support Resistance method inside the a level. Looking left you will notice how price created a pivot high that later fell inside the Demand level. Looking left price came down, moved up, created the pivot high, retaced back down then moved up creating our Rise-Base-Rise patern that defined our Demand level. I always look for the areas when setting a price level within a Supply / Demand area. They are not all this easy and you may have to go back some to find one ( Look Left ). Someone on this thread had mentioned this previously and I do apoligize for not remembering .. but THANKS. Price tends to stall at these S/R areas and when you combine this to a Supply/Demand level, they make for good entry point.

Just to clarify we are trading Supply Demand not S/R levels.. There is a difference. For me, it allows better management of the trade.

Here is a veiw on the 5M. Its kind of like looking inside the pattern. KL has mentioned about trading inside the level. I use this concept moving to the smaller TF to better see what may be happening within my trade. As we can see the 5M had a drop.. now basing .. and should head back up into the above marked Supply Level. For those who have traded this method for some time this is a very familier pattern.
