Lots of important lessons this morning at FO/LO for me. 
How to make good / bad trading decisions.
1. Eur/usd
Took a short after FO, on a very early M30 cross. I have a thing - i usually never trade FO. This time, i did. And it failed.
2. Gbp/jpy
Took a long on M30 / H1 after FO. Failed again due to beeing too greedy and wanted to catch all pips.
3. E/A
+40 and + 60
4. G/A
Closed half at +40, the other still running
The best lessons are the ones that cost you money.

GA short closed for +60 EN in a draw down, maybe it will turn north at the top of the hour. If not, I might cut it loose and take the loss.

Good morning, TMS traders! That were really long New Year's and Christmas holidays for me. So i was out until yesterday. Very glad to see that thread is very active and many people here making nice amounts of pips Happy that today i can join your nice company again That's the start of the month for me, so only second trade since last year (first was yesterday with only few pips on EA). Wasn't too greedy, just wanted to start my trading month with a good trade. EUR/AUD made a quick move and i was late. Wanted to enter it after retracement on continuation, but GBP/AUD gave nice signal earlier. So i took it and decided that 1 trade will be enough for now. Very good movement gave me 50 pips, my TP was hit. Very nice and clear setup with good divergences on M15 - one more confirmation of H1 signal.

Way to go on the 270 !!!
Re: EN - you can say whatever you'd like about it. I was looking at a short term long.

Hi everybody! My name is Bogdan and I am new to Forex, and I've enjoyed reading this thread for 1 week now. I started trading it but with not much success yet. I guess I'm a little trigger happy, still.I entered today this trade on eurusd H4, hope it will be profitable... Cross and divergence on the TDI just above the 32 lvl, Stochs confirms, engulfing candle on the H1. Am I missing anything? Thank you...
... Well, Back to the drawing board... )

The UJ is is not a currency I have ever traded. Late yesterday afternoon spotted a strong candle breaking through the DO on 30min chart checked 4hr and price moving away from 200ema. Figured I might try for a quick 20pips to 118000. Traded 2 lots. Banked half the trade @ 117765 as price was stalling. Then decided to move to higher time frame and leave the balance on with a 25pip trailing stop (never ever used trailers before) usually am aiming for 25/50 pips. Trade finally stopped out this morning. First time I have managed to move up the time frames...
Great start toledoFX - congrats
It was not a perfect entry on EA since I waited for that candle to push thru yesterday high successfully before getting in. I m happy with +60green from GA and +40 green from EA short at LO {image}
