Yes thanks for sharing your story as3 ...If you do feel such stress in a position then you are definitely trading too big. But that is a good way to wake up in the morning instead of drinking loads of red bull or coffee.. to put on a large lot size your first trade..amazing how fast it wakes you up
You're right cemfx,

I'm already naturally wired so drinking 1 cup coffee or a full can of red bull gives me the shakes. Now that I get a least 8 hours of sleep a day I feel sharp as soon as my alarms hit and I jump out of bed to check charts. If my GF isn't spending the night I keep my laptop in bed and trade from there the whole day.

Making Pips in my boxers underneath the covers.

The Good Life!

Also (forgive me for being dumb), I have IG MT4 and it doesn't recognize .ex4 custom indicators for some reason - only MQL4. I'm I doing something wrong there?

Friends, Does anyone know how to add more pairs to MT4? My O**da doesn't have GN and EN as well as many others. Is there a way to add new pairs or I'm gonna have to download different broker's MT4? Thanx in advance!
Have you tried "right mouse click" on "Symbol" in the market watch and then left mouse click "Show All"?

As3, take care of yourself - you're way too young for your health issues. Happy to hear that you're getting back to normal. Bizzle was right - you're putting in a good vibe to the thread. Keep it up!

Are you interested to hit the gym? Trading H4 should give us enough time to do so between candle.

I missed the 10am candle and there was lots of nice set ups!!! Glad your all doing well and making great pips!! as33156 I am loving the atmosphere here since you started posting a really positive vibe, keep it up
Thanks for the compliment Bizzzle,

It's senior members like you that are an inspiration to me. The way I see it is that we are all brothers and sisters in here so why not make a ton of money together and help new members "EARN WHILE THEY LEARN" this TMS method. I get a bigger buzz from members of this thread posting about their profitable trades then I get from seeing my own trading account grow everyday. It's a Win/Win

My dream is for everyone who wants to become success at trading in the thread using this system to achieve their wildest dreams like I have in my life. Working for yourself is the way to go in life. Nothing beats the freedom of trading for a living.

No Gym for me doctors orders. As of now I do 20 pushups after every 4hr alarm right before I check my charts, and swim a few laps in the pool thats about it. Most of the time I'm just in bed or on sofa unless I have to run some errands.

Thanks Hugecat!

Im actually able to eat 2 slices of pizza in one sitting for the first time in over a year so I'm improving big time. I got a few more checkups to pass then I can enjoy myself a little more like before just in moderation.

Yes, man! Let us know when you're well enough for all successful TMS traders to throw an annual party somewhere in the Caribbean just because we can afford that
But seriously - get well.

{quote} I'm confused what time frame were you trading? What was your entries and were you long or short. Because on my platform I don't see where you would have lost on trades those trades on the 4hr
Hi as3,

thanks for sharing your story, i'm learning from everyone here and its awesome to see the charts and trades you share with us! Keep them coming. Good health and pips wishes for you mate!

I'm trading 4H timeframe, I'm trading from The Netherlands (GMT +1) which gives my candles at (local time 24u): 00:00 / 04:00 / 08:00 / 12:00 / 16:00 / 20:00.

In the screenshot below, I marked the candle BEFORE my orginal entry candle with a vertical red line, entry price horizontal green line and sl horizontal red line. The candle AFTER I was stopped out also has a vertical red line across it. Between the two vertical red lines is my open trade time.
Both trades were in the green before Putin had a announcement -.-
EJ was a late entry, when I look at it afterwards it's a mistake. Learning point.


Is this what you were asking for?

Regards, Wes.

UJ will be a pair I keep an eye on for the next 2-6 candles... for a few pips long..
TDI is below 50 (would like to see it below 32 and it might slide there)
PA is close to support (also to my bottom fib line)
PA moved over, but ran right back down after crossing 23.6 fib, often after that it likes to retest and sometimes test 38.2
I'm kind of a fib guy..

Of the pairs I'm watching, this seems to be, for me, one that is promising....

Hi BallijnForex,


Yes that what I was asking for. You were right EJ was a no trade. AJ was a proper trade however you had a mishap in your trade management. Your entry was 92.24 or close to that. It then went down over 35 pips in profit before Putin started running his mouth. Using cave manager I always select it to move my stoploss to 2 pips in profit once I hit 25 to 30 pips in profit depending on the pair. If a trade goes that many pips in your favor you should never let it go against you again.

So correct trade on your part you just came up short on your trade management.

& thanks for the well wishes!

OMG TP123!

Your holding out on me lol. You didn't send out an invitation to the pip party you were going to have. I have never watched that pair. That was 100% perfect signal!

At least you made some easy money.

Lolz actually i wanted to share but price moved to quickly after entering in trade that i thought now it would not be good for someone who is not already in this trade to chase the price .
I have mentioned few posts back the pairs i trade, have a look at them. I have selected them after a lot of back and forward testing.

On my chart Gj is nowhere close to giving a long signal. With my broker unless PAC starts speeding up it may give a signal in 2 more bars and by that time it maybe to late.
