All positions are closed based on fast trix turned opposite... bagged 200 pips...

Waiting for next entry...
That's some serious work man - well done! I went in with two of my normal sized positions, so I guess I could argue that I'm up 40 pips overall at the moment...

I considered closing one position out at 30 pips up for that particular trade, but looking at things from the 4-hourly or even daily perspective makes me hesitant to close out, and keen to look for more long profits over the next couple of days.

I think I'll go ahead and close my first position when I see a clear exit signal on the 1-hourly chart, and hold the second position and see what happens. In fact, now that I look at it, the daily chart has made a solid break through the 5EMA above the coral, with fast trix turning green. It's also sitting above a positive trendline (these things I like for this long position!)

Here's a screenshot of my 4H chart:

Hello Friend ...

Your Idea is great. But I differ from yours.

I look and trade only based on 15m timeframe. so I wont look higher timeframe. If our THV system shows next entry, I will take that. Otherwise no entries...

I'm with Oanda and am happy. They offer gold and CFDs too. Payouts are quick and they're fully regulated. Never had any real issues with execution time or spreads...probably because I have a look at spreads before entering a trade, helps to prevent stupid news spreads of 10pips
Thank you friend... I will look over that...

I have completely dumbed down my exits. If the tape (using 5/5/3 settings for anything but Gann) switches colour in the opposite direction (red when long, green when short) of my trade I exit...otherwise I stay in. Great way to capture larger moves, but during erratic markets you'd get into trouble if I wasn't using that 15pips-breakeven stop loss.

Will have an EA for that (including initial stop loss and break even settings) in around 2 weeks I guess.

Entries are of course mostly based on THV bar adding Damiani and making sure the "tape colour" confirms THV.

What I now get is a string of breakeven trades, very few losses above 15pips, and a nice amount of larger 35-120pip winners. This ensures I never have any large drawdowns and I can honestly say losses don't bother me at all anymore unless it's because I wasn't disciplined enough

PS: Up 74pips today...and this is the first week I trade 0.8 lots/trade...so happy days

Bah, got kicked out of my EURUSD trade at break even. Hate not being able to manage trades manually at the moment...brutal to watch profits evaporate

At least all of those trades surpassed the 15pip threshold, so I can't lose anything today.

Keep posting those charts so I actually know what's going on

Still long EURJPY and short USDCHF...but I don't know if signals still support that, can't check

Oh well...all trades closed at break even (+ spread). So annoying to be up 75pips+ and then not being able to exit trades when you want to

Will wait until US news before entering trades today. In the meantime, check out USDJPY, it seems to have MASSIVE upside potential given the US's quantitative easing recently. Jay Norris wrote a decent article about it.

Anyone trading off the back of the US elections?

I'm up 30 pips on a EUR/USD short atm. See what happens when the Americans wake up!

I'm trading the same direction...up 85ish pips shorting EURUSD and going long USDCHF. Happy I didn't fall for the early morning fake-out. I was about to enter in the wrong direction when I noticed price started to stall...happy I was patient enough to wait.

THV for the motherf****** win

Looks like price is stalling a bit in anticipation to the US guys waking up from their hangovers (winning drinks or losing drinks...they'll all have a hangover).

Still up 93pips though, moved stop losses within 15pips of the current price because trading full lots 93pips is a pretty decent amount...and I don't wanna lose too much anymore. Still getting used to trading higher amounts. Funny how making 100pips before giving up 20 didn't bother me when I was trading smaller sizes...but suddenly losing $200ish after winning is bothering me. Need to get to terms with that as in % terms nothing really changed, and it never bothered me before.
