haha I only noticed that after I posted and couldn't be bothered to change the picture. I am pleased to say that that is a Skype video chat window and my mate's Mum's office cabinets, not mine!

Haven't traded for a while. Can't find anything that looks even half reasonable. Is this just me?

Actually, just thinking about it now. Tom tweeted something that stuck with me and I have applied it to every trade so far. Can't remember his precise tweet but it went something like this.

If you borrowed money from Frankie "The Butcher" Scarlatti to trade and had to pay him back shortly, would you make the trade you are looking at?

Fantastic.

Hey guys!

I'm quite new to posting on forums, not that new to trading though followed Toms teachings on Trade2win (the prop education thread gave me a massive insight to what it's like and how hard it can be being a trader), but i'm still pretty average at trading

so where do I start on here to improve my p/l as I don't even know if i'm trading this method correctly :/ and I would say i'm floating around strategies revolving around PA at the moment, but I can pick levels but have never tried going in blind, which i'll have to do if I wanna be taking seriously in a couple of years.

Took this SFP for a loss. Knocked on the head at the hourly close above SFP candle.

I don't think that is a good level at all for numerous reasons, however I would be much more interested in the SFP

Looks pretty good and would also be good to get a SFP around 0.9479!

My usdcad order is soon to trigger. Yeah, I know it's non farm lottery.

Hello Guys,

I have just started to read through the thread and tried to understand the main points of the strategy of Wizard. More or less I understand the principles of entry and "why have to forget breakeven" but as for placing original stop loss and take profit level and the trade management I could not find the right information in the lonf thread. Could you advise me anything (a pdf , a summary some, some important post anything) which could show me how to manage the position and where to put SL and TP?

Hi 4FXsake,

May I ask you where did you put your original Sl and TP and how are you planning to manage the trade?

Hi MT,

It's a poor trade in hindsight but to answer your question, I attach a chart.

Tom highlighted in a tweet going short at the blue line or thereabouts.( I missed the seminar last night )

I am going to move my TP to the blue line but it looks like I'm going to get rogered well before then!

For some reason the chart has come out blue? Anyway click on chart to see blue line!
