Things I need to work on...intra trade management. Which has to be very fast..I think maybe almost automatic...always looking to move the stop up to capture profit....

I need to practise this somewhere because im only getting 15 minutes practise per day lol

Does your broker offer trailing stops?

Hi, yes, it does, I had them before but it's a matter of tweeking the settings for this. The volatility at this time can easily take you out and then it jumps to your target...I have a move to breakeven automatically set for +1 tick after 7 pips.

Also Im trying to work with 2 targets so that if it runs I can capture a larger move. Programming this into the auto trade manager with trailing stops is challenging, but possibly not impossible.

Using trailing stops and two targets, finally getting my head around the trading platform, captured that big bar at the start 930am 31 (15+16 from 2 lots) ticks.

I often find that a lot of traders tend to become polarized into one way of thinking. For instance there are camps of traders that say to always follow the trend (trend is your friend) and that picking tops and bottoms is impossible. Then there are others that always go counter trend and say that trend following is a sure way to get killed (only dead fish swim with the stream). I tend to also see the same when it comes to S/R and the very important concept of supply and demand. I often find traders that see S/R and completely ignore (or are unaware...

Hello Felixcattus

Your statement:
I tend to also see the same when it comes to S/R and the very important concept of supply and demand. I often find traders that see S/R and completely ignore (or are unaware of) the basics of supply and demand. Yet others I see trading pure supply and demand but seem to ignore S/R completely. In my opinion, it's important to understand both.

A "Refreshing"...someone finally gets it !!!

Thanks for a great thread.

Morning all, well after a holiday away and being banned from doing any trading whilst away, am back now to see what carnage has occurred and to continue the journey. Unfortunately the reversal back into the pre-market box failed; not once but twice. Interestingly enough, the Elliot Wave was formed here but I was not looking for this so did not see it until too late... isn't that how it happens so often. Felix, you been taking a bit of R+R too? {image}
Kiwis -

Promised I would do this video about trading for May 26, albeit it a little late.

I was late getting started in the market today due to some data feed issues I was having. Caught one good trail though and called it a day.

Nice work... I captured 16 ticks, gave it back and ended up with 8.. Still last four days 3 have been positive and one -2 ticks.

Nice trail following... I have to practise this.
