The eurusd and usdchf trades are taken way after the signals. They were opened once price broke through the vegas tunnel. That is the wonderful thing about demoing. We can test new ideas this way.

EURUSD Long @ 1.2810
SL 1.2780

1 TP 1.2831 (21 pips)
2 TP 1.2852 (42 pips)
3 TP 1.2886 (76 pips)


The signal was produced a bit earlier. Price went to the tunnel and stalled for a couple hrs. It then broke the highs being made and the tunnel. I got in once the tunnel and highs were broken.
Closed trade manually for -11 pips (X) 3 lots = -33 pips

SL is 20 pips

Things are moving rather slow at the moment. I'm looking to take profit at the next fib level.

Cheers,

As of now, I will post my trades I have taken for the week on Friday or Saturday. Whenever I have time. This journal is to keep track of my trades and not for others to use as a trading signal. Some appreciate what I have done with all this but there are some that don't. Instead of me doing what I can to help others, I am gonna do what I have to to help myself. I will keep track of my trades on my PC and then post them here at the end of the week. Artamon, I apologize for this if you don't understand. I will chat with you when we are online together.
There are some people that have asked me for help. Those of you that I have helped, keep asking. I didn't want it to come to this but, I kinda knew it was gonna. Good luck to you all and God bless.

David,
Artamon and I are trading the same method. We are both posting our trades that we take. There are times when I am awake and take a trade when he doesn't and he is awake and takes a trade when I don't. We are working on this together so we wanted to both keep track of our trades. In the first post, you will see something stating something about this.

Just post your trades late in the trade so theres no pressure and nobody is taking your signals.

SL hit on this trade. However (and here comes the excuse) it turns out it was NOT a valid trade, according to the rules. The RSI never crossed the 50. I took this trade based on oanda's charts and the RSI appeared to be under 50. Being at work and only having access to oanda, I took this as a valid trade. With their w/e data and crap, the values don't correspond with MT4, where my indicator resides.

So, the positive thing to be taken from this is that if the rules were followed it would have kept me out of a potentially bad trade. And, I really need to sort something out while at work. Maybe remote desktop is the go...

G'day all,

I took the following 2 trades earlier:

USDCAD Long @ 1.1075
SL @ 1.1038 (37 pips - just below a recent low)
TP & exit @ 1.1105
As of writing, this trade is still open but way -ve (25+ pips).

GBPUSD Short @ 1.9034
SL @ 30 pips
TP1 @ 1.9015 (+19)
TP2 & exit @ 1.8990 (+44 x 2 = +88)
Total: +107

This trade was taken a few hours prior to NFP news and was just travelling along at about -10 pips until the news hit. It then shot off in my direction and closed out. This was a valid 5/12/RSI cross entry, but it was just dumb luck that I got a +ve result, so I won't be including these figures as a winning trade for the system.

In hindsight (and this applies to both trades above) it may not be wise to take signalled positions so close to major news...unless you're going to trade the news!

Cheers,
Art...

SL hit @ 1.1038 (-37 x 3 = -111)

This one pretty much cancels out the cable trade. However, in future, I will not take signalled trades so close to big news.
