In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

There it goes. +21. Calling it a day.
hi mate,

was in for this one aswell.
my only trade of the day as i was in uni...

really AWKWARD entry which i only did because i had to leave for class
SL was 7 pips.

not really the best thing to do..trading and jumping in because you don't have time.
+21, but TP at 800 ema didn't trigger so I just closed it manually when i came back...

peace and love

at the time when i took it i thought that the bounces were small enough and expected price to drop..

but my expectations usually mess things up lol

don't you think that this would have been much better (white box)?

most of the time the price breaks when it bounces on the 200 ema...
but wouldn't a break with a confirmation of the 10 ema that holds firm below the 200 ema be even safer?

think about in terms of risk vs reward. compare it with your entry. which one would have given you smaller risk? your entry? or the second one?

you had a setup. although you didn't have a confirmation, the risk was so small. it was worth a shot, imo.

nice entry, great trade.

This morning I got another two trades: one classic and one CT trade. I think its a text book, but I'm not 100% sure, just believe so. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Since LO i got 5 trades total: 4 winners (+52) and one looser (-7)
Today total: +45

Time to take care of my family and later to continue reading this thread.

Have a nice day kind people!

thanks buddy..
i'm just trying to put almost all odds in my favor. i'm relatively new to forex and need to establish a thinking process of risk and reward.
in hindsight i would have put a SL just above the 10 ema/candle high of the confirmation i mentioned...but that candle could have for example had a 10 pip wick, what then ?!

thanks for helping me ..

hope the hurricane won't get anywhere close too you brother

that's exactly my point. 10 pips + spread = 11 to 12 pips vs. 7 pips. can't beat that.

Now whoever changed the their risk to whatever amount....Not a good idea...you are not sitcking to your plan.Nothing is 100% sure...Plz dont think i can be 100% sure....then i will be richest man on this earth...

I ask these type of questions to trigger your inner energy.thats all...always stick to ONE and MASTER IT....whatever it might be...
I will continue posting about psychology....
Currency pairs will not move in one single direction forever. So sooner or later the price will go to near where we enter the trade and give that 5 pips. That 5 pips might come in a few seconds or in 50 years.

So all the trades that we have entered, winners and losers, have actually been guaranteed to give 5 pips. We got losers because price reached the SL or broker called the margin, before the trade gave that 5 pips.

The same with all future trades inherently they will all be guaranteed to give 5 pips so if a trader has no SL, has unlimited amount of money to fund the account as to avoid margin call, and is willing to wait undeterminately, he will get that 5 pips.

But such trader does not exist thus as Arjun says we should trade as normal no change in lotsize whatsoever.

I have to be honest.I love this thread but I have serious dislike of lagging indicators specially TDI that is being used here a lot.
I just think traders ditching crap indicators and going close to naked charts are really getting it and traders who need 5-10 "confirmations" are clueless.
Since I am honest I also dislike HEKINASHI candles.If one has to see red or blue to figure direction then you are clueless and blind.

Now that is out of my chest I am tightening my seat belt for bashing.

not bashing your statement about indicators... but... price alone does not provide enough information, imo. hence, use of indicators can be the supporting tools, i think.

i do agree to a certain extent. some confirmations on indicators can be overruled.
