Nope out for nowt after being 30 plus pips up yet again, God knows how many pips up I've been on that little episode, I'll wager 50 plus pips have gone begging there in search of the hrly move. To come out with nowt is a trading disgrace... But thats what I find whenever I go for the higher timeframe move, it just keeps coming back at me until I get frustrated and just give up... I think time is fast approaching where I accept what I am, a scalper, through and through just haven't got the patience or discipline of the higher timeframe...
I long term and short term trade. Everyone needs to find what works for them. I am going to share on of my favorite trades then I will stop stepping all over your thread. This setup usually happens once a week. Week GY starts going sideways then has a fake breakout short, get in as quick as you can long. The big boys are pushing down to load up on longs. I did not get a great entry as have 3 grandkids running around. Good trading to you all! Thank you for letting me participate.

Well ended up with 43.9 pips from whole episode and only at half size so more like 22 pips so I have to wander is it all worth it chasing these bigger trades which I rarely seem to catch... Would of been better off with the 7 entrioes I took and taking 5 pips from each and when you consider some were up 30 pips and the last one 40 odd pips its a bit of a no brainer to just take 10 pips out of each trade for a 70 pip profit at full lot size...

Think I hit this one at market thou as moving quickly..

understood clive let me ask this question what is the sweet spot to say when we are wrong is it 15 or 20 etc and whatever it is make that the stop and set target at 40 producing a 2 to 1 scenario. and as price goes up lock in profit at differnet levels

Good trading XxLessonxX,

I'm looking to ride this down to 1.08250 as that looks like we will have a major support to deal with.
But I could be wrong

How much do you have locked in? How much are you going to let it retrace on you?

closed out 2/3 of trade at 100 pips letting the final 1/3 run the course with 100 pip TS. So free trade 0.3 of someone else s money until hits Trailing or until I hit target.
