Done for today. As you may see today some of my trades went deep into DD before reaching profit. 2 times my SL of 20 pips was nearly reached.

What did I learn today?
Wait for retraces even if it looks like a perfect opportunity / high momentum.
Be careful around areas of confluence (natural S/R, DO & 50+ 200 EMA.

Comments are highly appreciated.

{quote} Hey CigarGuy, can you tell me what you mean with +150 and what is that @50? I don't understand most of your numbering. Perhaps I've missed something between the line... Sorry if it's a noob question.
That means that he traded with 50 lots and exited at a profit of 3 pips. 3 pips * 50 lots = 150 pips. Did you read the introduction of the PVSRA thread? If not, please do your homework.

Hi Sniper, I was going to pose the question regarding your stops a little earlier but had other things to do. When I returned I saw that you answered my question which was the the amount of heat you were willing to accept.
Forgive me, but the R/R seems a little skewed. Not passing judgement but just making an observation.
Regards

Dont want to argue about R/R ratio. In my humble opinion the traditional R/R considerations do not make sense in scalping but this are only my 2 cents. I know scalpers who trade with a SL of 35 pips which wouldnt fit my personality.

Every trader must find his settings and check them from time to time as markets change constantly.

{quote} This one was risky as you are trending against the trend. As for the conditions for entering this trade, apart from volume divergence, did you also consider the currency strength indicator on the right, the one that says JPY 5.4 and USD 5.1 ?
robmagario,

Yes it was risky and all conditions are always considered but at times many hours of screen time aka experience kicks in while observing PA and you get that "difficult to explain gut feeling" and make the trade. Sometimes good and sometimes bad as against all rules but no indicators can predict how the MM's are going to run price but they sometimes offer hidden clues only to be recognized from experience.

This is why I suggest to traders, especially those new to FX, to pick only a couple of currencies and watch and stalk their movement looking for clues giving insight to what the MM's aka Big Money are up to with their sneaky PA manipulation.....

As retail traders, we need every edge trading against the Big Boys and IMO experience always prevails.

Thank you for the reply. No need to argue at all. They are your trades and what works for you works for you.
I'm reading through this thread and hoping to put the kindly presented information/experiences into action.
Nice trading...

Excellent trades as usual! Your trades are a perfect example of what I said earlier about trading with the trend, especially for new scalpers. Many would get scared of the DD you had and would get out of the trade, counting it as a loser and perhaps doubting the system.

I didnt check all of them, but just from looking at your M1 charts, it looks like you traded most of them in the prevailing trend direction, which is why you went into profit even after drawdowns of +10p.

Thank you for the comment and the remarks. I totally agree that trading with the trend is a must for newbies (like I consider myself too). As CG and many others advised looking at the higher TF (M5 and M15) is a must. If there is a retrace on i.e. M5 and then price continues in trend direction it is time for dropping down to M1 looking for an entry.

Today I had some trades where I definitely should have waited for the retrace. Total attributable to lack of patience. I will work on this the next days.

Well here are my trades for today. I would trade longer than an hour, but I've got homework to do. All explanations are on charts. Ove decided to just focus on the EURUSD for now. Instead of hopping from chart to chart its easier for me to focus on one.
EURUSD -0.1
EURUSD +3.3
EUR/USD +1.7

Another benefit of trading with trend. You can re-enter late (if you missed it initially), but it takes some experience. CG's charts have lots of examples of this.
