For some reason the trade explorer isn't updating but eurcad and gbpcad are both going backwards. Not stopped out yet but looking as though they will. Eurusd floating around 100 pips up and audusd about 370 up. Here's a weekly chart of audusd. 0.98 is a decision point. If we break this we should see further falls. I wouldn't be surprised to see this pullback from here and then either break and carry on down or just go sideways. The 100 sma is just catching up to the entry price so in a few more candles time it will be locking in pips for every extra...
Good job,Birss.I have targets with my trades,so i get less pips in AUDUSD,i also trade EURUSD this week,and i have got enough pips this week.
Great work ,Briss.
I think maybe i will post more trading drawing next time.

Serious problems with the trade explorer. I'm going to get a myfxbook account open so you can see what I'm doing. I'll put it in my signature once it's working.

Ok so Audusd broke the 0.98 level fairly convincingly. This has to pull back at some stage but for now it's definitely time to sit on my hands.

Gbpcad looks nice for a bounce from 1.56. It will take a few candles to set up but I will keep an eye on it.

Eurcad and gbpcad have both traded through the 100 sma and so invalidated the setup so they're off the watchlist.

Actually eurcad seems to be finding resistance at 1.32. There could be an entry there? The only thing is it's getting late in the week. I'll see.

Hi HB,
looking at the explorer, your SL on EURUSD is still 1.2969? Would you not move it to MA100+ATR as per your updated strategy?
Just to be sure about the ATR settings, you take ATR(20) of H4?
I am still in EURUSD. I just entered later as you did as my candle-times are different - brokers settings.

Good weekend,

The 100 sma on the 4 hour chart is at 1.30402 so plus the atr the stop would be at 1.30772 which is above where the stop is now at break even. There is a period of time where you need to wait for the 100 sma to fall below the break even point and then you will start trailing the stop. Audusd is just about to start trailing and I've been in that trade since the 9th of May.

Sorry, I didn't answer your question properly. Yes, I use the 20 ATR of the H4.

Pairs to watch for this week... eurusd, gbpusd, audusd. Obviously already in audusd and eurusd so just watching for a second entry if possible and a first entry on gbpusd if possible. It could well be a pullback week on audusd but as long as it doesn't break the 100 sma I'm still in the trade.

This looks interesting on Audusd. 0.98 is a major level so if this turns here and closes below the 0.98 level then I would be interested in adding on. The trend does look a bit overextended so an add on trade here is a little risky but I will probably only need to risk about 50 pips. Let's see what happens, it needs a few more 4 hour candles yet. Also if it doesn't turn round here I would not be surprised to see a further pullback. I'm happy either way, if it goes up higher I may get a chance to sell it higher. As I said in a previous post, as long as it's trading below the 100 sma I'm still in the trade. Notice that the stop is starting to be trailed behind the 100 sma now too.

It actually gave a reasonable signal at 2 am. It was just before the news so I wouldn't have taken it until after that and it looks like that sent it higher. It makes no difference in any case because I was asleep! I'll keep an eye out for an entry if one sets up.

I'm watching eurusd at 1.29 and gbpusd at 1.5250. Both nice levels and both look reasonable trades if they set up. 10am (gmt +1) is my next candle so I'll look then.

Just sold audusd, eurusd and gbpusd. They all look nice, turning round and trading just below resistance. I'll move the stops in a little tighter than 2 ATR in this instance because I have opened three trades at the same time. This will bring my total risk down to a more acceptable level.

Hi,

yes, for me that signal on EURUSD is not yet there as our brokers run different timezones.
Just checking: Mine uses UTC+3 eventhough I am in a UTC+2 zone.

This is how it looks - stoch cross was there but no HA color change. So I have to wait another 4 hours to either have nor not have a signal there:

My trades were more to do with the trend and the resistance rather than a perfect signal. I have spoken before about more "advanced" entries.

Eurusd and audusd out for a loss. Gbpusd still running. Got the original trades on eurusd and audusd too so I'll just wait for another signal on those.

I just sold audusd again. I would have preferred to sell it 4 hours ago but that was the middle of the night. Nothing I can do about that. Gbpusd has gone down a little overnight so it looks like that trade may survive a bit longer.
