EURGBP - cycle just started via Expert.

EURAUD - manual trades in action.

ps. being a Friday the preference will be to get in and out of trades rather quickly (market willing) to minimize risk!

1. Q box generation
2. Entries above DO line
3. TPs below the pivot point and below recent price action levels
4. SLs down very deep but must be monitored

Any sign that price looks to aggressively head bearish should mean exiting the trades swiftly because this pair is volatile and allowing the trades to run down about 100 pips or to actually allow this to occur without taking some 'common sense' type approach would be very foolish indeed!

Recall that the EA pairs ATW trading range is often close to 100 pips so if price was to break out lower it is reasonable to expect another 80 pip drop since price has already made a 20 pip range above the DO line. This does not mean that price won't go far greater than or far less than the 80 - 100 pip range; its simply forming a reasonable expectation of what is likely to occur.

Closed out for small but effective profit based on possible hesitation of price to drive higher, possible reversing level to price and slowing of momentum in price to the upside.

Further entries at opportune times can always be taken if desired.

Currently only the EURGBP cycle is active.

2 long trades have been closed out for small profit.

The immediate short term goal for today is to finish at >=20% account growth.

Not very far from achieving that milestone!

EG cycle

Actually closed out the final 2 longs for a small loss.

Chart structure not looking ideal to keep this cycle running.

Although there was no rush to close out these 2 trades the PA of the pair is almost non-existent with price resting just below the DO line.

This opens up a real possibility for price to drive down lower (not saying it will) which could keep the cycle open for a much longer time which is NOT favorable on a Friday.

Plan for the rest of the day will be to look to take a few FIFO entries manually at opportune times.

ps. Expert Advisor will not be applied to the charts for the rest of today!

FIFO approach worked pretty well indeed.
EURAUD is heading nowhere at the moment.
Congratulations on achieving 20% The last one was short lived but that's because you had to close some loosing trades.
We can say that your equity curve made higher high, clearly in an uptrend
I'm +1 pip from 2 days, closed a trade in BE before the news, turned down to my target. Better then a loss
Have a nice day

Thanks for the comments Shuael its appreciated.

I particularly like your comments about the equity curve making higher highs as in an uptrend ... nice!

Next milestone will be 50%.

Have a great weekend when you finally get there!

ps. I'm off to trade the London session soon followed by a look at the NY session trading other techniques ........

Closed out in profit at the midR level and could have allowed the trades to run higher up closer to TPs but being a Monday and time getting away from me decided to take the profit that the market offered.

The 2 blue parallel lines form part of an ABCD pattern in combination with the DO line, Fibs etc which is price action trading!

Note: the original TPs were set just below recent PA but moved up later once price started to head into profitable territory.

Yes the returns are similar but obviously you are trading a different style to QAM.

Keep it going and I wish you well on reaching your goals.

ps. very nice to see a live account linked to a TE .... that's the right way to show your trading .......

Good trading,
