I don't like countertrades at the moment. I mean, the price is retreacing but where is it stopping? is it the 8 or the 21 EMA. We know we sit in a strong bullish market. So I thought I pass this one.
I toke a trade just a minut ago....buying the EURUSD at a lower level...
@ the H1 we have a TC and @ the H4 the MACD is still going to 0 ...with the fiscal cliff news out there I think there is a probability that we get a bounce there... but oke...everything is uncertain in this world
EDIT1: and went to BreakEven if things go wrong (+/- 20 pips till price at the moment)
EDIT2: SL to 14 pips.... I don't trust the market right now. A lot of people telling right now... "the market (will) retracing form yesterday. There is also a doji at the Day-chart.... we'll see
EDIT3: closed the trade @ 16 pips gain

EDIT1: and...
I heard that people sleep during the night ! I tried that , humm! I felt good!
But this morning I was kind of late getting back on the chart. Bit late for that TC but got back in, next target 1.3400 as I mention earlier, shameless! the range from the 4h head and shoulder is about 300 pips so at the breakout (bit lower than 1.3100 should lead to 1.3400 technically. so I am in again…will see...
I went long on a pair yesterday: I've made few pips -don't like too much that pair- spread too large.

It was better if I closed the trade after the 20:00 candle. Actually there was a green MACD candle...after that a big red MACD candle. I really better had token the lost directly after the tread went against my trade

Hi Everybody,
I tried to make a papertrade for the month Jan 2012. In the attachments You find everything.
Hope somebody wants to give a reaction on it, also if I made some stupid things or some things against the rules. I only did this for my for learning... so I'm very happy if I get some reactions
Well... I used metatrader....and with the function button F12 I tried to simulate the trading sessions without knowing the future.

Hi, last days I did not trade ...had a lot of nice days with Christmas
Anyway there was a nice trade folowing the 4 Hour Strategy (MACD). Look also at attachment.
Trade 1
at 26 dec at end of 0:00 bar => besides I had my Christmas things....I never trade at that time because of my daily sleep
-price stalls and came back for 4H supportline (brown line)
-it looks we ended the up-trend.... and go in range periode?! Because price doesn't really reached support line (1.3151)
-MACD gives a signal => RB
-BUY: with profit Takeprofit area: 1.3132 (+/-52pips)
-Stoploss: 1.3134 (34pips)
-entry: 1.3181
-R:R = 1:1.5 (Good)
With my Takeprofit and Trailingstop methode I could get around 70 a 88 pips with this trade
Trade 2
27 dec at 16:00 was no trade for me because of the big candle (70pips!!)
@Trademin...153pips...not bad, that's the total range if I saw it correctly

Hi HappyMe
I like it. You can tell me what broker you use and the time you trade
Thanks
The broker is not that important I think. We need to understand the system or?
Normally I can trade during day-time between 07:00 and 0:00 I'm living in timezone GMT+1.
All the best for 2013 for everyone!
