I think 10 weeks of consolidation is enough
you call 1000 pips just consolidation?

I have been building and building and building my longs, you can see my entry on the chart, Just riding the 2x1 gann line to 163

Wont be on too much, since I wont be by my computer that much during the trading day, why? lol I have a few limit orders around 142.25 and thats about it, I am all ready to for the flight to 163


I accidently positioned the gann entry a little bit too much to the right, the 2x1 line is actually a lot closer to the current price, providing nice support.
I thought you were averaged at 143.85?

EDIT: Also, I know you don't keep hard stops in (just mental if I remember correctly), but where would you cut this position at? Seeing as your target is so high, I'd imagine a wide stop loss level.

I Had very small positions at that level about 5% of my total longs. As for stops around 137.80

Perhaps both.

But Geppy is right guys and that's why I just posted that 1H chart laughing.

I think you all are reading WAY too much into all this very small range chop. Trust me, when the Dragon breaks out, you'll know it...LOL

ahh, gotcha. I was gonna say... either a previous typo, or you had to buy a SHIT TON at the very bottom to average down that far.

Or, of course, what you just said

Yea there was a lot of stops hit as well, small 15 pip losses.. I just try to get in for a continued up trend with as little risk as possible... 1:4 RR currently


well mental stops, I know when I didnt get in at the right time.

Bob wouldn't you consider yourself an investor?

If you plan on holding on to long positions for a year or more that sounds a lot like an investor.

Even the IRS would basically consider you an investor, you probably couldn't even get trader tax status or even want it considering that if you hold an asset for 12 months or more you could be taxed at the lowest possible capital gains rate.

I think your opinions are valuable like everyone else's but you are an investor in my book not a trader.

I know life is an ongoing process of adaptation.

But, for the time being I think you are an investor.
Trade at your own risk.

Oh what an exciting day!!! But It's been fun watching all the...oh it's going up...no it's going down chatter today....

Just to put a little perspective on it. We've had a WHOPPING 80 pip range and it's sitting at about open now. How can I contain my excitement??

The one thing I will say is, it seems we've had a fair amount of late day moves this month. Perhaps today will give us some? Doubt it but maybe...lol

I will not argue with you, I am more geared towards the investing approach as it suits my style best. Forex is just another tool to add to my portfolio.

I like catching major trends and riding them as long as possible.

Just think of the fun you could have on EUR/GBP, it had an entire 23 pip range on the 10th December, 31 pips on the 6th March and a massive 49 pip range yesterday.

I don't trade that pair at all. Never have. Whenever I watched it, it seemed like 28 days of paint drying for 2 or 3 days of excitement....

When I first started I traded the EJ, EU, EJ, GJ. I've given up the EU and GU so now I just trade EJ and GJ but other than a couple EJ shorts last week, I haven't even traded it for some time.
