I'm very upset! I called an Short trade on EU eariler today and I decided to close it out. The trade is now +70 pips. I hope some of you guys stayed in it and made a killing. I should have stayed in and would be up over 150 pips right now on both my trades.

It meant you made the right analysis entering the trade, which is good! Your entry was rock solid, all you need to do is have confidence in yourself.

Congrats on the UJ btw, I made the mistake closing it lol, else I'd be making pips too.

Scared money doesn't make money my friend. No worries there are tons of 4hr candles left to trade before the end of the week is over. I'm looking forward to collecting many more pips along side you.

Yeah it was a perfect trade I just had a dump truck load of money on it at the time my stress levels started getting high when it was doing nothing. I closed it out for a few pips in profit. So all and all it was a profitable trade. I wish you had stayed in UJ also.

I'm having a decent week so far i'm up 324 pips right now. I would be up over 600 pips this week so far if I didn't close out the EU trade to early today, If I didn't miss the GJ & GU trades today, and if I didn't miss the 2 awesome trades on Monday that made 100 pips a piece because of my girlfriend.

So this week has actually been bust for me so far. I'm hoping I can pick up the pace before the weekend. I want to walk away with a bare minimum of 500 pips.

Guys, When you copy a new indicator to the indicators folder, you don't need to close the platform and re-open it. You can just open the metaeditor (click F4), choose any indicator and double click it, then click "Compile" or F7. That's it.
Yeah I know. It's just feels faster to close the platform and re-open it. Requires just 2 movements. I'm a Lazy Git

Well, that worked nicely (lucky and thx news). First public trade in a couple years, using a much simplified method vs. old one I used(peruse THV) and gained 83 pips. Much to work on and much to learn, but, fibo's and breaking trend lines still do treat me well.

UJ just gave 100 pips from entry. I didn't take it to 100 as my 2nd batch was only for 80 pips.

Please anyone tell me why do I insist on leaving so many pips on the table every single day? Maybe I need shock therapy

Please take care of yourself as3. I'm sure many are worried about you. Reducing lot size would really be worth it if it means healthier for you.

Looking back at it the amount I traded wasn't the problem. My problem was I stayed to watch it (Something I never do) because I had nothing else to do and was bored and couldn't go back to sleep. If I didn't stay to watch my EU trade and instead stuck to my "set it and forget it mindset" it would have made my account 100 pips richer right now because it would have it my 100 pip TP I love a few minutes ago.

Dumb move on my part. Cost me 100 pips

As3, is 100 pip a standard TP you use for most TMS trades you enter?

Hi Direwolf,

Yes 100 is my standard TP. If you look back at my calls on your charts you will see the market tends to move an additional 30 to 100 pips in my favor after my 100 pip TP has been hit. I think I may move my TP to 120 pips starting next week!

Or I could do batch orders to sell half of my positions at 100 pip TP and the other half let for 120 or more. Tough decisions!


OMG I SHOULD HAVE MADE OVER 400 PIPS TODAY. LOOK AT AU & GJ

CADJPY is about to give a signal guys. The bar is massive and the green line on the TDI is just peaking above the red line. It's good retrace this new bar before heading up. Best of Luck! I'm staying on the sidelines this trade. Happy hour is upon us!

{quote} Yes i have that trend line also from the bottom anyway, Will wait and see i guess, im not convinced as of yet, mostly due to GU seems slightly bearish and UJ needs this level to hold, we shall see

I hope you too have catch this one
