Day Trading for a Living

Quoting GDR3k

edit again, pending buy order on GJ @ 142.81, fresh demand area, low risk.
That was hit earlier on, it came within a few pips of hitting my stop loss and the trade has only just come into a profit, I closed out for +8, don't really like holding trades over a weekend unless its a longer term trade and this one would of been a day at most.

Around +180 for the day and over +330 for the week, have a good weekend all.

wonderful US bank holiday. no trading plan.
I've got a few areas in mind of where I'm gonna enter, holiday or not

3280-3295 area on EU I might go long with a profit target at 3350, that being said, the 3280-3295 has been tested twice already in the most recent price wave so I very much doubt it'll be valid.

BUY EU @ 1.3320 daily pivot and M5 level.
SL @ BE
TP look to 1.3365

have lost 5 pips tonite. hope this one could work out.

SL hit. The mkt is ranging. Hard to predict the direction. Control the risk and follow D1 trend maybe a good choice in this situation.

I've used FF for news announcements for ages, but only looked at this forum today. It will be interesting to see what you guys are trading in the week ahead and get an opinion on my trade set ups. January was a slow month for me. This last week has been good trading Yen weakness and the rally in GBPCHF. Good weekend all. See you Monday.

I've got a couple of pending orders set up, gbpchf long @ 4435 and eu long @ 33295, just waiting for them to get hit.

Not bad for the past month. Having a holiday for the Chinese new year recently.
How about your trading going ?
I need to work harder on it.

Trading is going pretty well, I'm out alot now during the days as theres no point sitting in watching the charts as I can manage my positions from my phone.

Daily EU finished a doji right on a monthly support pivot, it broke down through the bullish trendline starting in November, my bet is it'll retrace back upto the 3450 area before moving down again to test this low at 31xx. Monday I'll be looking for a long.

sl moved to 3264 on the remaining position, if it breaks down I'll look to get in long again around the 3240 area.

edit; stop hit, +30 in total.

I means I am still optimizing my trading in low time frame. Decrease the DD and increase the RR.
I know you have switched to high time frame. Seems it is much healthier for the life Maybe one day I will also do so.
So far I still see the mkt is self-similar. Any time frame should work out with the same method.
Have you found out some new methods except the pivot and psy and S/D levels ? I am still trading on these.
Maybe you can share with me some in private
