I am quite content, instead of scalping for 20 pips a day, I try to catch a CATCH and stick to it.

I'm happy to see you doing well guys as I messed up completely.
I was in both USDCAD, EURCAD for about one week.
USDCAD started too early, was over -1200 pips at one point, but I did not panic and stick to the plan. EURCAD was just a little minus.

Today afternoon I just quick checked. Both positions about +1500 and +1500 pips. But did not have time to monitor any further.
Closed now as "break even" -200 +200. This greed... I really saw my trade of the year is here.
(I guess it will drop like a brick now as I am out.)

Will stay out this week unless I luckily see something really extra. I've near to zero time to look on charts for the whole week.
I'm stronger now and next time will do better.

Hi Voty
If you stick with 61-100R/S you will have high probability trades.Mistakes happen learn from it and move on.There is a difference of mistake getting in too early and taking system trades with probabilities on your side.With correct entries with enough sample size you can grow your account 10% or more a month.
Part of trading is waiting right time to strike.No different then big cats stalking and sprinting at right time.Too early you missed the target and waste energy.Trading is hunting in pure sense of the word.
What I share here is winning system that you can build thousands and thousands of dollars without stress or worry.Key is practicing discipline to stay within parameters of this trading system.One reason I discourage new traders trading this because they have no discipline and are trigger happy.It takes time to rain in the urges.

I am glad I got out of GU with minor profits.Still going down.If this goes low 29 I might start building longs with real juice.

Hello Davit, thanks for good comment.
Yes I know what you mean about waiting. The issue is I'm quite limited in time and can normally look on charts once or twice a day.
I'm used to work with daily/H4 timeframes and it feels a bit slow here. So hard to catch a good entry and this caused the rushing too early.
From now on I will exclusively wait for 61-100 zones / or wait for next time if missed...

its baffling to me why you are selling in such weak location plus market is waiting for Feds and sentiment is Feds will hold the rates which should push AU up not down...
PA has been slightly bullish since open.Bottom yellow box.This still could work so don't let me scare you but I am trying to understand your thought process....
based on everything I have been sharing here this trade is below average quality in terms of probability success.

Davit, you are absolutely correct. I will continue to study charts on your thread and read. My rationale for taking the trade: viewed it as a pullback when I saw the PB almost touching the R61. Believed the position would go south to at least the WP, which would have been the first level of support.

Thanks for being honest with me,
TX

To be totally honest nobody knows the future including me.I just like to think in probabilities and ask simple question.
Should you take similar trades like 20 how many of them would be winners.Remember there is no edge in your trade.I would say most likely you will end up losing money.
However if you flip this around and take 20 trades between 61-100R/S you most likely will have 70% winners.That's the Edge.
I like your attitude.Be open and grow.

Davit,

I printed your post, and it is directly in front of me on the wall. A person never has to guess what is on your mind, and I respect that aspect of your personality. You kind of remind me of my favorite preacher of years gone by...he preached "fire and brimstone" for the sole purpose of trying to save those that would listen. I listen to you Davit, and when I fail, I only become more determined to work harder towards the goal of becoming successful.

Thank you for teaching us that trading is no more or less than utilizing probabilities as our only edge,
TX

I am little hesitant to open trades today and tomorrow due Fed announcement and closing my earlier positions but NZDCHF and AUDCAD are at R78

All AUD, NZD & CAD are sensitive to stock markets movement as well.

Actually I am LONG (small position) AUDUSD from below this level. I also think Fed may not hike rate this September. If they do so, it will be a very bold step.

I don't scalp for 20-30 pips w/ your method. I think I am getting quite there to trade in big lots with 100+ pips on each trade. During this period, my R:R is 1:4.
