I've found that I'm most profitable holding for days (not week or hours).

Trying to take shorter term trades inevitably leads to trading against the trend which inevitably results in more losses than gains.

But hey, that's just me.
Playing both ways (in any trend) is certainly not for everyone. When placing CT trades it's important to cover/close quickly and not expect much. As long as I know the overall trend and the places within the ranges it can bounce, it's a pretty good way to add up pips for me.

Still looking for a good buy lower down as I won't buy up here right now.

Trend is clearly bullish now that Cyprus is looking like it's resolved. No reason to fight it.

Not fighting it bro. Been bullish for weeks now Just thought I could grab a few on the way down. It will drop but just not yet.

If I had long positions in like you and Bob I wouldn't even consider CT's.

Been holding my longs since last week. I added some at 144.40 and adding a little bit here.

Why not?

You can afford to. I can't up here unless I want to tie my hands all week It's early in the week and I still see a potential for 144 at least to get in long. I don't buy Cypruss being "solved" yet. I may be wrong but if so, I can always jump on board northbound when she leaves.

For weeks I've been doing the "buying on the way down". That's cool and all with larger accounts, but with a tiny account it wraps me up pretty quickly and then I have to sit and wait for the trend to resume. Boring! LOL

I watched a LOT of pips go by last week I couldn't do anything about....LOL

Nothing new here. Until they actually take action on this jawboning, we won't see a crazy, huge spike. But I'm sure we'll continue to grind higher regardless.

Not sure I understand where you're coming from.

You say "buying on the way down" hasn't worked for you, yet you aren't buying now (on the way up) and waiting for lower prices to buy (which would be "on the way down").

Nice retest of the flag so far... if she holds, we'll be seeing new session highs in no time.

No dude, never said it wasn't working. Been making good pips doing it . I can afford 3 positions tops. (remember, $500 "standard" account). So I could buy here, it drops say 30, buy there, it drops say another 30 buy there and then I'm done until in profit again however long that takes.

So in my position, (Assuming it will drop like I think it will and only time and PA will tell me that), Why not sell here, drops 30, sell again drops 30 and then let it bottom cash out and buy on the way back up? Know what I mean?

Now again, if PA tells me it will take off from here, then yep, I buy here.

It sounds like the size of your account is limiting your options for trading styles. Well... it's actually not the size of your account, but rather your broker's minimum order size.

Have you thought of moving to Oanda? They let your trade ANY size. That means you wouldn't be bound to trading "micro" lots but could trade even smaller sizes than that.

It sure would free you up to trade the way you want to trade.

Just a thought, but I see your dilemma and it seems moving to Oanda is a logical thing to do for ya.

It also seems that because of the limited number of positions you can put on, you're being forced to try and "time" PA too much... which as we know, is insanely difficult to do.
