Tomorrow I'll be watching USD/CHF (FGD on Friday), AUD/USD (FRD on Friday), and GBP/USD (FRD on Friday). I like USD/JPY a lot, watching to see if Monday closes as FGD or not.

Volman meets Burke or My journey with PA

Not sure if anyone's posted this before, but I found this indicator for adding a vertical line at the open of the week if anyone wants it. For my broker it works with Monday at 00:00, but yours may differ. Enjoy.

Volman meets Burke or My journey with PA

Staying flat until after FOMC tomorrow. I had a good EUR/GBP long last night that hit my target. That is my only trade so far this week. I only shoot for two good ones a week. That's all I need to compound at the rate I want. I used to try and trade ...

I look forward to hearing how your journey with them goes. I'm leaning towards the 5%ers 60k high stakes challenge myself. Please keep us updated.

A moldy oldie from Dokken. This song was playing on the radio in the opening scene of Nightmare on Elm Street 3 when Patricia Arquette's character was trying to stay awake in her bedroom. I like heavier stuff, but 80's hair bands have a special ...

What kind of music you hear while you trade?

I don't know the cause of it, but historically it has been common for different bitcoin exchanges to have different prices. For example, MTGOX would have a higher price than BTC-e, and Bitstamp would be somewhere between the two. That was about 10 ...

Probably gonna stay flat today. Starting Monday I'm going to start getting up at 4am to catch the London action. The NY session can suck it. lol

Watching that 131.71 level, the low of the week.

Could be forming an inverse H&S. If price revisits the support zone I'll look to get back long.

I got stopped out for about +90. New rule: If I open a trade during U.S. hours then that trade must be closed before the close of the NY session. I gave about 1/3 of the profit back trying to hold for a swing. I'm a day trader so I need to stick to ...

Stop moved to break even. Gonna let it ride. I used a wider stop than usual so I cut my position size down. Initial risk was still under 1.5%. If this was in fact the bottom then I'll look to scale in to a larger position.

USD/JPY Discussion

Wondering if this is the bottom. Major support zone, positive divergence, lots of sudden buying interest... Went long and set a wide TP. We'll see what happens.

Looks like your FTMO challenge is going well. Very nice. I hope it goes well and you rake in some good payouts.

Maybe.

Looking for setups in the NY session kinda sucks. Choppy, sloppy, sometimes floppy seconds. lol

USD/JPY Discussion

Are you using the same indicators on both? Any custom indicators or anything? I noticed that some indicators will really slow metatrader down to a crawl. Could be a software issue, maybe not.

Prop Firm Hub

Yeah, I gotta get up earlier. lol London has the best/easiest/most obvious setups. Pin bar rejection at the high of the week, pin bar rejection off the broken trend line, and a pullback entry that would have fit my criteria. Three opportunities for ...

I got stopped out for +14. I'll see what's shakin' tomorrow. Time for bed.

Explain to me the reason for this candle

90% seems to be in line with the success rate of traders in general. Makes sense. Edit: Being that 90% fail, if it wasn't obvious. lol
