GBPJPY is starting to accelerate to the downside finally....we are at what appears to be a decision point on it here in the 138.50 - 138.85 range. Hold or tank for 200+ more pips. We have moved our stops to lock in a few pips ...now we wait some more.

GBPJPY stop moved to 139.60
This pair when taking out the bottom of the 1200 pip wedge pattern should have rapidly accelerated to the downside. It has not so far, so being prudent money managers, we will tighten our stop and lock in the profits we have

Got stopped out on this trade. First entry was +75 pips.... 2nd entry was + 32 and +1 on the last.
Not what we were looking for, but a nice win nonetheless.
We will take it!

Hi swingtrade65,

It looks like you've been trading this strategy for about two years. I'm just curious as to what your equity curve looks like. Any huge drawdowns with this strategy?

Thanks.

I have traded this way for far longer than 2 years.....it has very manageable DD's and a steady equity curve. I had a long break with this thread due to medical issues...but I hope to be steady in posting some trades now.

I just wanted to make a quick note about Risk:Reward

We will always aim for 2:1 or more on the R:R
Do we always make it...NO
Will we take a trade where the R:R is not 2:1 or greater...NO
Why you might ask. Simple, we don't have a crystal ball so when we win we need to make them pay in order to make up for when we are wrong.

Trading really is about 2 little numbers folks. Your Win%..... but MORE important is the R:R

That's it...there is nothing more to it than that. Develop a method for maximizing both of those numbers and you will be in the 5%

Many Pips!

I was just thinking about what it is we are trying to project here in terms of ideas.

So, bear with me for a moment, I am currently in the process of mentoring 2 individuals. When I think about what I want them to go home with every day in terms of motivation and ideas, it really is very simple. Becoming a profitable trader can absolutely be done. It is not like searching for King Tuts tomb or something as ridiculous as that. Trading profitably is as simply as managing 2 numbers, W/L ratio and R:R. Thats it mate. You can throw darts( I would not recommend this approach) but you could and as long as you managed your risk versus your profit...you would be a winner.

MOST threads on here at FF are about the WRONG thing. Entries are the least important part of the puzzle. Money management and more importantly RISK management are where the money is made.

You need to find a method that allows you to make 2:1 or more per trade and the rest is EASY......

Let us know if we can help

Many Pips

You should leave FF for being a troll in other threads.
