Did my first trade this morning after your excellent explanation and got 14 pips on A/U��
Well done. wish I had had such a good day myself but i seemed to pick only losers between the meetings i had today.

Net -4% today. my worst ever.

might get a breakout long on Yen soon?

Took the yen long but as nothing happened for about five candles i exited once it moved into profit.

Yen Long again! +1% {image}
Nice trading! If you don't mind my asking, what average % return are you seeing now that you've been trading this live for a while (weekly &/or monthly % returns)? You are inspiring me to get back into live trading again - i have around the same experience as yourself (12 years) and haven't live traded in earnest since 2008 when I lost a shed load through lack of discipline and being under-capitalised.

High Side, I haven't been trading this strategy live for very long. i watched it and paper traded for three months last year and started live this year only. it is one of a range of strategies i trade which are typically always under review and going through some sort of turnover/modification. i should add that I have shared yur misfortune as well!

Back to your question i have seen 20% a month paper trading but have so far seen more since, hitting 30% during the period of january that I have traded live. I do not expect that to continue! I believe that if you can achieve 10% a month with a strategy you are doing very well (that assumes that you only ever risk 1% in any trade).

Because I was late I got a much better entry position. I have therefore only removed 50% of my trade at TP and let the rest run (not looking like a great idea right now).

[Quote = shoot2scoot; 8.048.980] Lunga su Euro. + 0,5% {image} Perché ero in ritardo ho avuto una posizione di ingresso molto meglio. Ho quindi solo rimosso il 50% del mio mestiere a TP e far funzionare il resto (non sembrare una grande idea in questo momento). [/ Quote]

Hello and congratulations.
Can you explain your entrance.
It does not seem that the Entry is on the change of the Magic.
If I understand it you have to wait for the change of slope of the Magic.
Or maybe I misunderstood.
Many thanks in advance.

Here you go Moti. Ah, sadly it is too big to upload here. Anyway Moti this is only a cosmetic change of background colour to Tan which i'm sure you can do yourself. thanks and have a good W/E too.

Late to work this morning. I did get this slightly preferential entry on the Euro +1%. But i think a conventional entry would have hit TP by now as well. There were winning trades in the G/U and U/J as well if you were at your desk on time.

Typical. i was at my desk nice an early today and nothing happens all morning. Then over lunch we get the greece extension announcement. Might go back to bed this afternoon.

Update: I have just noticed that there was a long trade on G late this morning which I missed (luckily as it hit SL. -1%).
