I have a really minimum paying job at Dennys California...that pay 8 dollars an hour...and they only give me 15 hours very week and i have to drive like 20 to 25 miles to get to work each night and work for only 5 hours...wasting gas and putting mileage on my car...then i have an account with 3500 dollars in it....which i can't concentrate to trade because i am at work during london open which i really like trading.....I am telling you guys my story as a trader so that you guys can understand my dilemma...if you are in my shoe...will you be comfortable...
Stop writing in large text please. Don't quit your Job & don't trade with money you can't afford to lose. We trade 4hr charts here. Which gives you some decent chances to make money while you continue to work at denny's. I would personally suggest trading a demo account for a month to see how success you are before you think about investing any money at all.

Of course we want you to come in here and hit the ground running but it's going to take hard-work, dedication, and lack of sleep on your part to make this work.

Remember "SCARED MONEY MOST OF THE TIME LOSES MONEY" So don't ever invest money you can't afford to lose. There is nothing wrong working at denny's my friend. I use to work at wal-mart during college and made $5.25 an hour. Many on here have been in some tough positions and we all want you to succeed. But you have to:

We are all adults here. If you put in the work, stick to the system, and use strict money management you could be another success story.

It's kinda boring during NY session. Glad it ended and i'm off to bed. New candle just appeared at 00:00 (dutch gmt+1) and I saw no set ups yet. Will set the alarm at 04:00 (dutch gmt+1) for another look and catching up this thread as usual.

Night,

Wes.

Hi Yosephwk,

I took the same AU trade it was just a lost plan and simple. I closed for 6 pips lost when it started working it way up to the 5 smoothed Ma high. Crap Happens!

The other 2 trades were non trades because you had to get in on the 3rd candle which is a no no. Best of luck!

I am struggling with this as well, I just moved from UTC+6 to PST, and my winning % plummeted, partly due to lack of sleep/insane working hours, and partly due to money management. I have been chasing pips, instead of accepting what I could get. 35 pips is more than you had yesterday, and that is something. I made a HUGE mistake this morning in that GJ madness and killed a big chunk of my account off chasing pips. Like As3 said, Scared money Loses money (I'm commandeering this phrase).

To help myself I am writing down my own trading plan, but honestly, am having difficulty putting it on paper. Anyone care to share theirs? I see a lot of reference to a trading plans, but haven't seen any examples.
War. Is my profession.

If you zoom out you will realize why your trades failed, especially AU/NU shorts, NU is getting close to an all time high, and it a massive uptrend, AU is on the brink of the 913 level.

TMS is a great 4hr system/method, however basic understanding of Price action is vital for success, i almost took the AU trade this morning but moved away because of the uptrend.

Stay with tms, go over previous successful winners of other traders and compare them to your chart, also at a glance i didn't see the real open/close price on your candle's which is important.

Hi L0pg on my GJ chart it gave a very small confirmed cross signal after the 12am 4hr candle finished. You would have got in at the start of the 2nd red candle which was 4am. You then would have seen GJ tank in your favor by over 60 pips in profit before it starting rising up.

Using cave-manager you could have selected the option to move your stop loss to 2 pips in profit once the market goes 30 pips in your favor. Also you could have put your your TS to trail by 40 pips and you would have locked in almost 20 pips profit when it came back and touched your trailing stop TP instead of having a loss.

My major rule for money management is that once a currency I'm trading moves 30 pips in my favor I will NEVER EVER let it go against me for a loss.

Those type of losses when you were up big and let the trade come back to make you lose big can be very demoralizing even more so then entering a trade that instantly goes against you and hits your SL.

Best of luck!

AU - did you have 5 good setup reasons to short on that first red APB candle? post#32,624

otherwise, i would normally do these checks:

W1 timeframe check? Primary Trend and PAC

D1 timeframe check? Intermediate Trend and PAC

News release check?

4H trend with PAC check?

Technical setup condiions check? reversal or continuation?

Plan A check?

Plan B check?

EURJPY pair is slowly making its way up but it definitely needs to breakout to the upside.

Looks to me it could turn south. If it does cross up, it could be a weak one-- take care

It does not matter what your broker server time is. Whether you have a broker with GMT0, GMT+1, GMT+2 or GMT+3.
We all trade the same price.
There is no such thing as a good TDI cross. A TDI crossed can also uncross because of price volatility. A TDI crossing can turn around too.
Trading the markets is about Entries and Exits.
There is a lot more to all these than it is simple.

On days when the three amigos do not ride in the same direction, we should be cautious and pick only those A+++ setups.
