Reacting to what you expect. A new skill i'm trying to master. After gazillion times loosing my profit to break-evens after hitting zones that i was expecting to bounce, just hoping for a break i am changing my strategy. No point in knowing what it will happen and do nothing about it.
So when i have a higher target, i take full profit at where i expect a bounce, then reenter at a better price:

What's the deal this way:
1 - if i am wrong at all -> i take a loss, which is highly reduces due to the first win (if i cut it partially i'll be still with a win overall)
2 - if i am right and price hits my final target -> i take 2 wins, bigger on total if i was just holding
3 - if i don't get a fill on my second entry and price just shoots up without me .... still i've collected the first win -> profit is a profit
4 - if i was at breakeven after the FTA was hit, now i should be out and with 0 profit.

Don't know about you guys, but it makes sense to me

Rust, in the long run you will be more profitable if you let the whole position run to original target.

Hey man,
i am intrigued by the confidence you say it. With all regards though i need to admit that i tend to listen only to myself (my record in this case), thus questioning even the guys i believe they know the game. People are strange species, the only way they believe something is if they find it themselves!

Hey C

THis one is trickier in my opinion . Price is very much stuck in traffic. Nice pivot but traffic and weak closing bar. Yours closed better then mine because you have a later close time but hopefully my chart shows you what I mean by traffic. We are boxing on boxes here.

Tricky here I would want to see a better pin at a more clear swing point

thanks once again mike. the weak close you mean open lower than close for a bearish pin bar....just want to understand that,but do not get what you mean by traffic.....is suppose to mean consolidation or what. "Boxing on boxes" do not understand.

Hey C

IN this case on my chart you can see the close higher then then open. So it looks like price not being very convincing on the direction. The close of a bar is very important to me

As for traffic, check out my video in the guest section of the site called space vs traffic. That should get you started

Check out H4. Interesting how discrete the ppz can get sometimes. Makes the pinbar near the 61.8 fibo "sexy" as bullzeye says.

it has always been illegal to trade forex on margin. you can check the RBI for more details.

Also to be clear i am talking about Forex otc trading , not futures. Currency futures is perfectly legal.
I chatted with OANDA representatives the other day and they told me that they have accounts from people in India. I read some where that it is best to use credit card and PAYPAL to fund your OANDA account. RBI guidelines have been a concern for me too. I wonder if funding the account in this manner is OK. Ultimately, while paying tax you have to transfer dollars into your bank account. Dollars coming into India is good right? So I wonder whether RBI should still find it objectionable.

I have also been trading NSE stocks. Its so volatile. On one hand you have stock prices increasing more than 50 percent in a month. OOOOOOh its so tempting On the other hand it crashes like crazy in a second. I lost huge as a result of a recent screw up by Emkay Global Financial Services. All earnings made in one month vaporizing in a fraction of a second. The entire index fell more than 10 percent in a fraction of a second. I suspect it is because of low liquidity of the Indian stock market. This is why now I am so afraid of trading the Indian stock markets. I personally feel the small retail trader (= giggles) doesn't stand a chance of making money trading stocks in the Indian stock markets. There might be other small retail traders who might be doing great and I would like to know them.

The screw ups and other manipulations in the Indian stock market are the reasons why I am afraid of trading nifty and precisely the reason why I am turning towards forex and want to trade NYSE/NASDAQ stocks. But before that I want to apply J16 to Indian stocks and see whether it works.
