manoj,

Good to hear this that your life is made easy.
Now the harder part is to work harder to maintain the consistency and don't fall into complacency.
You boy needs the money for education...

I do agree. So I have decided to take 20 trades as per my trading plan to work on attitude for trading. Trading Zone book has inspired me to do this to become consistent trader in this probability game. At this stage, I feel that sticking to my trading plan is most difficult task. Which seems to be improving with this exercise.

{quote} Welcome, Don't know which indi you are using but its usually just a matter of selecting a color under the color tab in the parameter window. The color for the TDI Volatility bands are usually by default set to NONE. {image}
Thanks for response! Of course I've changed these settings but unfortunately nothing has happend which means no lines appeared.
Could you please attache your TDI indicator?
I've read somewhere that I could have problems because of platform update...

Update to post 34,115

Started 10 days ago in three positions, now down to one.

USDCAD hit target yesterday for +156
CADJPY closed at target last night for +132
AUDJPY still open currently at +280 and banging its head on major resistance; only change to previous post was moving S/L north a bit more to 93.95; will let it run through weekend which I normally do.

+518 pips over last two weeks.

dano858.... I do occasionally add on to positions and let the horse run. These trades were unique in that they all triggered within a couple of days of each other and to remain true to my 2% TOTAL account risk at any one time I was not able to add positions. What's posted above are pip results...I was carrying several lots on two of them at the get-go. One could make the argument that once they're risk free trades why not look for bounce add-ons. I tend not to and as posted previously, I focus on the TDI crosses above 68 and below 32. That's my personal "thing" that has served me well.

Additionally, I focus on a handful of pairs (I saw a screenshot in this thread of a trader monitoring 24 different pairs...I can't process the personality of that many currencies). So I trade those I'm very familiar with and anticipate what they've done in the past. An example is the AUDJPY...the monster moves normally are between 200-230 pips and many of the add-on opportunities (TDI jump entries) occur deep into a monster move's run, so I have less confidence in what's left in the tank. Remember, fear and greed power the market, so when most retail traders get up 30-50 pips, they start closing positions...imagine what the institutions can do to the market. In a nutshell, I've found my comfort zone and try to remain grounded therein.

Cheers

Gold - unless the long signal is super super obvious I won't be going against that trend. A the current stage I seriously am only looking for chance to get on the bear's back. Gold rejecting 1300 actually may be a good place to short.

Outstanding trades! I'm glald you are doing well in your first 10 days. CJ stopped me out for 21 pips profit unfortunately before going back up. NU did the same to me also. I need to stop using a trading stopping because when the pairs pullback a lot that when they get me. I will just have my SL move to breakeven +1 after 30 pips in profit and this should get rid of that problem

Dear Zoopots,
Congrats. You grabbed nice pips. Can you please share exactly in which pairs do you find trade?
Since i am also following your strategy so i loaded all available pairs which are more than 30. My concept was, out of all, i will find atleast 5 6 at a time to get entry point around 32 or 68 levels.
Kindly advice. Regards.
