I am stopping trading now as the markets seem to be jumping about a bit ahead of FOMC tonight. Net +33 pips today. +2.7% gain

For future reference i intend to report my results slightly differently. like many, I risk just 1% of my bank in each trade. This means that most winning trades net me +1% of my bank (with this strategy). Talking in % gain of bank is far more meaningful than pips and it advocates good MM which i certainly believe in. so that is what I shall do in future. i hope you agree.

Good idea. Great to see your realtime/nr to realtime trades and charts. It all seems to be working well for you.

Don't like the look of this trade but I will be faithful to the setup. Was right Sl hit.(the dotted line was a minor support line but it coincided with the 50% fib of the last move up and the euro historically really respect the 50% fib. can't win em all.......as I am proving.

Yes always a difficult one that - plan the trade and trade the plan.

I don't like to trade against the daily candle nor be short if price above the daily open line but they are just my little quirks.

With you handy but as you know very quickly we get into an over complicated strategy that never loses because it never trades! lol Cor wish i had stayed in the Aud. The other losses made me cautious. Down net -1.25% this morning.
