so you missed big trades and took only small trades, did you?

that happens to many of us too.

but small trades also make good money.

which currency pair did you misses? start by posting your charts and I will share with you how not to miss big trades.

EURAUD :
watching this pair closely, it tested 1.4750 twice yesterday.
I see it will test again and may go higher when the timing is good.

since you were sleeping you did not miss anything.

you only miss something when you see it and for some reason did not take it , then that is what missing a trade is.

GBPJPY:

You can do one of the two below:

1) Wake up tomorrow when Sydney open, and if there is a Day Inside Bar breakout by today candle, you buy.

2) Buy now, SL 192.00 TP 195.00. make you do your position size with 0.2% risk of your demo account $50k.

If you do 2) now, I will explain how to build position tomorrow.

Hi emmanuel.

Could you please explain the reasons that made you go long?
It looks like from H4, red and green cross yellow downwards from 68 level on TDI.
seems to form a pin on D1 , and going sideways on W1.

I've been following this thread silently since i joined. so far trading on and off, only manage to break even. should've given up already but it's a terrible addiction im trading live micro.

Hi stcl, I am not Emmanuel, bu I can see a strong bullish trend in the monthly chart, the weekly chart looks the same. look at the bar two weeks ago, a big wick, and last week was bullish too. If the price brakes the IB upwards, the trend will continue, if it breaks downwards, it might only be a retracement. That's why Emmanuel is talking about position size in the second point.

AU gifts 50+pip PCRFs on 70% of London sessions. Backtest to build confidence, TDI shows the way. Ride these until the wheels fall off.

Hi,

MN bullish,
W1 bullish,
D1 doing nothing...at the moment.
so we buy on W1 and build position when retracement of the W1 candle.

Hi Derek,

Those white lines are the high -low of every 4-hour period. I use that to see the H4 and also as a guide not to place too many ME trades within each 4-hour period.

Indicator is posted here: H4 High-Low lines: Post#16,374

Keep up with the reading and take notes of your own. Post and ask questions whenever you need to. This is a much more efficient and effective way to learn.
Keep all your notes and compile your own trading handbook, and one day you can publish a trading book and earn royalty as a source of passive income.

{quote} Bird I have been trading for 4years and I seldom rarely trade monsters line GN GC GA GJ Reason is simple 1st spread 2nd volatility. Precision entry is a must and then you hope and prey PA does not stop you out.Well 50pip SL is minimum for pairs averaging 200+pips and some days can go 400pips.It takes good experience on majors before you start on crosses.If you have less then 3years of trading I'll say stop trading crosses. Choose more forgiving pairs. Regards
It is time to take time off my live account. After 2 years, my account is in reds and losses. I shall practice harder my demo first for the remaining of the year.

Dear Emman,

For trade no. 2, is it usually that the SL is so huge for Day trades? It seems hard to "accept" that there are so many retracements within the day.... and what if we get stopped out?

Hello everyone, This is my first post here. Until now I have been reading and reading and reading...I have still lot of work in fron of me :-) I have ben trading this method for almost a month - I started on 30.06.2015 with 991 CZK (about 40$) on demo account. Now I have 2061 CZK (82,4$) which is about 105%. I have 32/49 of profit trades (+/- 65% win rate) - yet the point is, that it is getting higher and higher - 2 week ago I had 50-55%. If you guys have any tips and tricks for me I would be more than happy to read them and think about them. Below...
Hey Lukass,

That's great success. When you say you read a lot, do you mean books or this huge thread posts? What TF do you primarily trade on?

Congrats

{quote} Hey Dimi wazz up? I hope you got a nice Weeknd? Thx for your Motivation. Its a good golden rule with "triple" the Demo Account. But I think imo its better i have to start with 100-500 bugs and then i will see how is my trading and my discipline. Demo its good, but real money its better. Lazy
Haha yeah i know bro.
Hey, are you practising your stop losses? Hehe. Don't forget the stop losses man!
I use to trade without stop losses until I blew almost $3000 AUD. Be careful, you never want to get a margin call from your broker. I remember when I use to get margin call e-mails. Scary.

Which kind of trend confirmation do you use?
HA color at higher TF
or
Trend line at higher TF
?

And the only differnce I see is that your trend at D1 was seen as a long trend line
but my D1 trend was seen as several HA uptrend candles.

Good morning since .

I use my eyes for a trend confirmation ..
If the trend starts bottom left corner and moves top right corner .. its a long .

A good thing to see the resistance levels on the way is to zoom out.. as EElfranz did..
No timeframe change for me . not neccessary in my eyes .

EDIT : the only thing I see in your chart is alate entry , if you had taken thetrade at candle open ,
you had a much smaller loss.. or may be a BE .. ( depends on your style )
Hope it helped , Guido
