Just made my 56 pips on this one looking for a little more on the next two here only took half positions on the second two but just made 3.5% roughly gotta love volatility.
had a 100 pip stop on this one looking for a big turn down last night but never came so Im taking it off as who knows what will happen on open.
Made a measly .45% and it took forever the more I trade short term the more I find that I am a short term trader and I need to stay away from this kind of trading.
Havent had any time to really trade so Ive been trying to get the hang of swing trading I just dont have the patience to really do it but Im getting better two trades this week. The first went very well nailed my TP for 1% felt that the euro was not going to break 35 I took a small short but missed the big move. The second was for a little less than .7% took a bigger stop on this on moved it to BE this morning but saw a bottom and took it off at 46 pips. another day another dollar
wanted to snag it at in the low 40's but thought a little too long about got 47 and I got out at 55 for an easy 7.5 pips not taking a chance with TIC data coming in a few minutes and Im off to work.
Snatched 1% + over 4 trades and a couple of second thought cancels that I should have taken just not in the right frame of mind this morning so Im out with what I have. Been looking over my recent trades and I can finally say Im getting consistent. Not sure how long it really took but Im here now just need to make some more then I can go full time trying to set the end of this year as time for it but with the way things have been might be more just gonna have to see what happens.
Well here is one I really wanted to be here for but look at what I missed got about 25% of the move and snatched 28 pips almost 1.5% but green pips are better than red. Took this move with the hesitations and then my confirmation was the candle I entered on it has a name but it escapes me and names are meaningless
Tough day for me out there. Just was not picking a good zone waiting for confirmation and bought way to late on every one. Got greedy on the first one went 10 pips up and ended up getting BE. Off to work now but need to get back to trading Im feeling rusty.
just got ate up by the bulls on this one but I was forecasting not reading the charts and this is what happens when you do that. Didnt wait on a level didnt wait on PA to confirm minus 1% for being stupid
felt like forever since I have posted but here is a formation that I love to take. Ive seen this reversal formation a million times not sure on the exact successs rate but it is high. I took it out early but hey Im rusty right now still trying to get back in to form. You could call it a Head and shoulders but I like playing it at my entry point when there is a confirming candle.
+12 pips bus is here for the munchkin and Im off to work
snatched 9 and change on this one but could have easily got 30 pips out of this however Im not a big fan of leaving trades open when Im not around and I had to drive to work so I took what I had at the time. Havent had much time to trade and I didnt want to get to work and see a BE trade I feel I need to take as much out of the market when I can. Also over the past week have only found 3 other trades all have gotten taken out while I have been away at BE so I wanted to post some green pips for the week.
Stochs were converging it was at the top of a previous bearish engulfing candle and a nice doji, then throw in being at the top of the cahnnel a must take
Entry was great exit was hasty but due to circumstances Ill take it still feeling some trading rust but each green pip gets me closer to being full time, building my account.
great way to end a week finally caught a run after missing my entry on the GBP which just went. got into this one with two long wicks at 2930 area. Took a short and just got TP'ed the good kind. +30almost 2% on that one so Im done and shutting down.
Havent been very active trading wise but made a little over 60 pips this week trading my 1m system. will be posting rules in a bit still trying to put things together. At the time it is the only thing that fits my time for trading. in short wait till 15m is over sold or over bought and then look for entries on 1m. here is the GBP and EUR in ways that can be seen
Caught a few trades here and just saw the drop finally after I close. Been waiting on this continuation and it just seemed likke it wasnt gonna happen so I exited with a net of 10.9 pips on three trades.
Here are a couple trades I took
GBP took this one blindly off the 1h could have got a much better entry on the 1m with the info from the 1h. Had a flat area that lead to the fall I was looking at
EUR had a decent doji on the hourly but never went so I just started looking for an exit and found one
After going on quite a win streak I went through a time of losing wont call it a streak. But this caused me to rethink my trading and I noticed I wasnt trading my strategy at all just going by feeling. Only lost 5% during these losses because luckily I wasnt holding my normal leverage, the losses would have tripled other wise.
Well here is my short term strat in short look for an impulse move noted by the red arrow then wait for the retrace found by a lower high(for shorts) confirmed by the stop at the top of the keltner and stochs over sold. So taking 18 pips and cahnge on this one Im very happy at this point I was patient didnt act upon feeling except for the exit as it did hit my +22 so far and my Quick TP is 20. This one may go further but I will be away from the computer and as for picking areas while Im away from the computer Im not the best at and I will not be around the computer before the end of the market.
