Greetings folks. After getting hitched and spending some time getting the home base set up I am finally returning to the factory.
Decided to open up a tiny account to have some fun and share some trades in real time.
I won't be talking about the technicals of my strategy much so please don't ask about it.
Pairs Traded:
EURUSD
GBPUSD
AUDUSD
USDJPY

Timeframe:
Mostly 1 Minute.



Cheers!

Markets moving slow....

Been holding AUDUSD short for a while now. Looked like some money was coming in the market but it never followed through.

Stop at B/E.. Most likely going to get taken out.

Are those 4 pairs selected due to less spread? Are you trading spreadbet or CFD account?

Thanks tradeforlife,

Yes it is because cost of trading them is cheap. I also only like to take one trade at a time. So once a setup appears on one pair I just focus on that one till the trade is over. Then ill look at all 4 again.

EURUSD looks like somebody wants to buy it up. Keeping a close watch on it.

Looking for a nice small wave up followed by a slight dip and then a larger second wave.


One thing I can never seem to shake is the feeling of being late on my entry... I know I am not late though cause the real move to catch is a 2nd wave. Even if I completely miss the first wave, there are still pips to be had.

Always nice to see the MA's opening up like so.

Question is how long will they stay open.

Last time MA's opened up in similar manner on EURUSD(roughly a day ago or so).

Price appears to be taking a small breather... I think the first wave me done.
Â
Now lets see if that second wave will follow through. Hopefully sooner than later. Headed to the airport to fly out of town & will be looking to close before I board the plane.

15-20 Pips for the first wave ain't too bad

Wasn't liking the price action before I take off. Closed the trade for a small loss. Was a slow Friday so I'll gladly take my 3.8ish% gain today.

Been a slow start to the day but finally seeing a little GBPUSD action. Looks like it might really continue to sell off here.

is the elegant equation better than the art of coin tossing ?

only time can answered that. this system is based strictly on order flow while the coin toss system was based on an actual coin toss at the start of the NY open.
