{quote} Dear Alien friends, now is also possible to trade with your station working, but watching, opening and closing trades from your mobile with Team Viewer. This way I can trade all day long, also when I am off.

I was waiting for E/J but like a sniper who missed his target I missed the major movement because I was sleeping at the moment. At least I could get 70 pips out of a 300 pip move. I'm happy because I got 1.5 times my stop loss.

Does anyone know of a way to save profiles as a kind of read only file... I almost always loose tiles etc from a profile.... Then next time i open I think wtf has gone on! Get fed up of redoing them!
On your mt4 terminal go to File > Open Data Folder
To avoid all that trouble of making those profiles again: do your profile and save it,then copy ALL profiles to a new folder to desktop.
Create a shortcut to the desktop of the folder PROFILES for easy job next time when that messes up.
If i did not explain clearly,let me know.

Here is a long trade on USD/Chf; not because of what I see on H1. Reasons: -I was confident with my short on E/U -H4 and daily was long on USD/CHF I looked back later also saw the ADX divergence (marked #1 and #2). If I saw it before and assuming I had the time, I would have squeezed out a few more pips. {image}

My biggest single position of all time, i'm glad that i could hold it. (only 6 days, not too much for some people, but for me it's a long time to hold a winning)
I'm surfing the GJ DS trade H4, and i'm beeing more agressive now, catching tops and bottoms of the DS trades, always locking 30% of the profit, and those are my "pullback survivors" so far.

{quote} You could have stayed in the trade or added one more when Stoch. 8,3,3 crossed up 21,10,10 for a slingshot with 100,10,10 or with this new one in picture. You can see also on RSIOMA same slingshots but a bit delayed. However the trend is strong upwards.
{quote} Thiago u legend! Awesome stuff.....Question : Did you grow your account through trading ....Or did you get good at trading / add more when you were confident?Im in two minds whether to go for it...Ignore money management rules for trades that look A1And grow it that way...You know very early on if a trades is going against u with this system....
, Grade A trades for me is a must, so i only trade in the direction of the major trend, with full ADX power, so i start to look for trades on a pair with all TF aligned with full adx, then i start to drop down each TF starting from the weekly looking for ADX topping so i can know in advance that a retracement is near, then i wait for the "fail" of the adx 7, 21 or 42 maximum, but this is just to spot the trade. I use this to enter or adding, every time i see it, the pattern most of the times will be like this (when the retracement doesn't happen like this, i just don't take the trade):Example:
W1 full ADX short
D1 full ADX short
H4 full ADX short
H1 ADX 7 and 21 turned off retracing, so this is my trade (sometimes it will work with adx 89 and 144 turned off, but it's usually the last push in that direction for a higher degree retrace, so it's more risky)
M15 DS trade i could enter here with the DS crossing the signal, but i'm playing it agreesively now hehe
M5 is my entry, so i wait for the 21,10 sto to top twice, and i start to counter the retracement averaging up. (like Alien said, if you trade in the direction of the Major trend, it is just a matter of how much are you willing to pay before it continues. So when you get good, you pay less)
Regarging the money management, for me at least, is more like mind management, so i trade with positions that if a single position goes against me 500 pips i will not care because it will be a HUGE and i mean HUGE mistake and i'll lose 1 to 2% of my balance, and if it goes in my favor i will not get greedy and close the position with little profit because this profit will not give me a "decent" amount of money, and this is "forcing" me to add positions if i want a good money.
From my experience, here is a good tip to find your own "movement tolerance":
If you check your trade every time to see how it's going, reduce the trade size.
If it goes against you and you feel bad about it, reduce the trade size.
If it goes in your favor and you already start to think about the things that you'll buy with this, reduce the trade size.
I hope that helps
