5Abi, did you load a new TE? What happened to your old one as you were up 8%. Are you setting up a TE just for this thread?

I am trying to load the data from start of the year and my broker (Oanda) seem to be having some issues. Even on my mobile MT4 platform I cannot pull data from start of the year. But no I do not intend to create a TE just for this thread.

Mastermind, do you have a MYFXBook page we can follow. I'd love to see the details of your equity curve, Risk of ruin, etc. It would be great to see how a pro gets it done!

Just search "Masterrmind" in myfxbook search bar and you'll find it.

There is also a link to it from my threads.

I don't want to post it here out of respect for 5abi.

I'll also be frequently at this thread because I know 5abi has much to offer.

ps. if you still can't find the link please PM me.

an interesting side point to note in all this USD strength is the fact that AUD has not fallen by much. Last 1 week has seen a rate cut in Australia and a large dollar strength but AUD has held its own. Point to note for those who want to go long on AUD.

Not sure at these levels. Bit tight consolidation between 0.85 and 0.8460. Really slow Monday morning, I am watching paint dry.

I am hearing that RBA's hands are tied as far as cutting rates any further is concerned. They are already low and inflation is not moving. They cannot cut any more and if the stocks stay unchanged (i.e. not drop much), Aussie dollar might start creeping up. Just taking it day by day.

For those of you who are more adventurous, a USDCAD short opportunity tight tight stops @ 25 pips. I am not taking it since market is slow.

I think the USD will dictate where it goes from here. Political scene will also be watched (i.e. what they say in relation to fiscal policy).

I think of myself as a sniper. I lay in wait for hours, for days at times for the right opportunity. Dollars in your account are like your bullets. Do not waste your ammo on false targets. Wait for the right opportunity and then go for the jugular. This game is all about discipline and patience. Any fool can be in market all the times, and end up losing. Be careful of over trading my friends.
Its all in the mind.

About a 7-8 pip DD so far but heading down............

I'm on it!

ps. stop will be reeled in once trade progresses..... TP just above the 130 handle but unlikely to let the trade run that far ... shall see!
