Hi Tony, thanks for letting us know which trades you will be entering.

If I may be so forward, would you mind letting us know which pairs you intend going on, or are you keeping it the "major" "majors"?

Good luck to all this week.

This week is very heavy. I have chosen to trade every single important event. I pray that I'll respect my rules and follow everything with the discipline of a soldier. I must not re-enter news, gamble or jeopardize my whole account. I know I can make it. {image}
Woohoo Tony!! Thanks for his post and your words of wisdom! This is the motherlode of news trading weeks... May we all experience pips beyond our wildest dreams!!!

Nah just around FF and Baby pips haha I just look for obvious places where the trend changes or will bounce to continue. Maybe it was just a lucky week for me but hope I can still be in the green next week

{quote} Well done...looking at your results and mine, you must have been selling when I was buying, and buying when I was selling I tried PA, and at the moment I do not have the mental marbles to do that. One of the reasons why I like Tony's method...not much thinking involved (for me at least). H
Haha thats how the game goes next week it could be opposite!

And yeah I've always liked Tony's way of trading all you need is discipline and MM

I wish I could learn like that, I think that I am to blunt to take all things into consideration...

I know I am tired, a couple years of lackluster trading, and other business / financial / family issues can really take it out of a person...I am happy that I have started to try Tony's method...one less thing to worry about

Are we all waiting in anticipation for the EUR CPI?

Cheers

Yes and no, what if it did not whipsaw like that and continued downwards? I would have rather taken the loss than wondered "what if?" But that is me....

Fair point..I guess I just don't like the thought of losing, but when it comes to this way of trading you have to accept it and remember its all worth it for the winners. Like you say, on to the next

I know that the actual only slipped the forecast by .1%, but, still it should have been bad for EUR, and the original direction confirmed that, but now the EUR is strengthening, WTF?

Anyway, I am waiting for CAD later in the day. Who's in, or am I all alone on this one?

Both sellers and buyers have been taken out. That +30 pips whip back UP at the gate would have taken out any straddle traders who had initially guessed correctly at the gate. I am going in with 3 full lots BUY right now. TP/SL 30 pips.

If neither hits, a manual EXIT ~2 hours from now before the next red news.

edit: sorry. exiting at +2. I changed my mind. I am sitting out.

Nail on the head my friend, I have the same struggle, but, mine translates into revenge trades....I can say with pride though, I did not revenge this bugger...

i was an idiot. An idiot! Why did i exit? i deserve a punch. the only thing that can make me happy is if it magically drops 55 pips from this moment for no reason at all so that I look lucky

Props to Dvanderlinde....(or was it Pipkiller, I think it was Pipkiller...)

I have changed my lot size on both platforms to reflect my equity balance, on the assumption that I will be losing every news trade that I enter, meaning that my account will at least last the month, this will mean that I can keep my lot size the same for every trade and take every trade that I have planned for...for the term of testing

May common sense rule...
