Another 19 pips there but like I said yesterday when I didn't take my orphans but should of done , today I've been grabbing orphans left right and centre for 61.2 pips but if I'd of left my trades to run today I would have 100+80+60+25=265pips and still going!!!! Just don't know before hand whats going to happen do you??? But either way its fine as orphan grabbing will work on all day types... Ted??? Hows that hindsight indicator coming along???? {image}

Mmmmmh I know not every day will be like this but you have to stack up a massive number of 5-ish pip orphans for 1 day like today. Not that your orphans today were 5 pips there were a couple of nice trades there and overall you have had a very good day.

Well done and great to see.

Just taken this sell trade in GBPAUD as top trender and nice break and retest of the BRN 1.8400 but just can't get it down enough to get it to BE. If it wasn't such a good entry and a complete system trade I'd close this out close to BE as I can on next move down but gonna let it breathe, Not like me I know but its got some solid resistance above it if it goes against me...

Phew!!!At last got it to BE now I don't care what happens... Had to sweat on that drawdown of 5 pips or more for a full 10 minutes, don't you hate it when that happens???

Gonna stop taking any more entries now as this market seems very lack lustre without the early starters from Good old USA.

Great fun while it lasted but now nothings really moving time to leave well alone until it kicks off again. Only interested in those strong trending pairs like GBPJPY earlier today thats what you need, strong trends....

EURAUD knocked me off at BE before dropping nicely again says a lot about the top trenders doesn't it??? Yep going nicely now...but without me but so be it got fed up sitting around waiting for it to go...

Got to do it now. I am 8 hours behind London and it can be very punitive trading London and then going to work as I lose lots of sleep during the week, and the week end is not enough to catch up. I try to rest when I return from work but then I discover I am becoming a stranger in my own house. Plan on cutting work time by 50% which should pay my bills and then trade fulltime and make up for the difference and even more.

I know we can do it, and also collaborate with good traders on Skype to act as checks on each other. And any time on our Skype call

Here is a thought Clive. Have you been keeping detailed records of your trades? I know you don't have a TE, but have you tracking it on paper? If so, I will bet you could find someone to give you a 50 or 100 pound loan. Set up terms to pay them back. The amount is not to much to be scary and with your performance can certainly be paid back. OR, find a couple of things around your house to sell through eBay or something. I have a drill press I wasn't using so I put it on Craigslist for $50. Surely you have something you would sell for the shot at making this reality. Otherwise, it is just a hobby that you are good at. Don't give up this much time for a hobby.

Get a loan or sell something. Just my opinion.

Hi capstone

Yep thats exactly what I intend to do, going to see what I can raise and then away I'll go... But its been great trading this demo as I'm starting to see these charts very clearly. The more hours I spend staring at these charts the better I seem to get... Lets hope I can take the same success to a live account, thats going to be interesting for sure. don't expect too much of a problem been live trading for about 5 years but not very well due to lack of skill, application, discipline etc etc

It won't be an enormous account unfortunately only a few hundred I guess so I won't die if I blow it thats for sure?? Hopefully won't affect my performance but time will tell, proofs of the puddings in the eating as they say..

Biggest reason my trading has turned the corner is without doubt trading with the strongest trenders, just can't over emphasise that enough...

You ought to try it sometime...

Hey Capstone,

He can afford a 100 pound and will surely make it back in few days. Let's just keep pushing him

Well yes but hand in hand with that, I suspect the biggest reason is actually you've been trading the system according to the rules (which is of course to focus on the top trenders) and its been great to watch.

Nothing really happening as per USD and CAD bank holiday so gonna stay away for a bit until I see something really take off one way or the other. Got a feeling the morning session runners are not gonna follow through this afternoon...

Just took a GBPAUD trade short to continue the trend down but it looked weak but instead of stopping out I just hedged it and worked it off. Bloody awesome, gonna practice that a bit more but just kept scalping counter trend to get the hedge off, actually made 4.2 pips in the end, result!!!
