Uodate — My normal day job and sleep seems to be interfering with my trades at the moment. Normally I can sneak my entries in between work and sleep, but as Murphy's Law would have it, since I have started this journal, nothing seems to be ...

Trade closed — My break even stop was nailed on a little spike down just after midnight, so out of this trade at break even. The market did recover somewhat and reach a high of around 2.0378, which would have been more than enough for my 50pts ...

GBP update — I'm just about to head of to bed and the trade has gone a little pear shaped, so I am setting my stop at break even. Currently at +5. I just don't want to worry about it whilst asleep and there is more news coming out in about 20 ...

Radicalmoses, I would like to think that if you are in a decent trend and it is obvious to you, that you would give it room to develop. When I say 10-20pts a day, that would hopefully be the minimum. If that's all I got, then I wouldn't complain. As ...

20 pips per day, is there anyone can help me?

20pts per day — The 20pts a day is nice in theory but it is sometimes very difficult to achieve. It is something I aim for, anywhere between 10 and 20pts a day on the EUR and GBP. That is combined. The problem being, is that when you start ...

20 pips per day, is there anyone can help me?

mdhorton, Thanks for the quick reply. After I read it, I thought I was still missing something, then the penny dropped. Having another look at the limit order box, I NOW realise that the 'quote' price can be adjusted. I just assumed that it was ...

Anyone know a good forex trade Strategy used on Metatrade?

I traded fulltime for a year with mixed results. After working for the government for 20 odd years and receiving a guaranteed salary every fornight, the inconsistency of trading results forced me to change my mindset a fair bit. This put plenty of ...

Any full-time traders?

Agent2005, With regards to charts that give you audible alerts etc, you may want to look at XTick. They have a monthly fee (it was $85 last time I used them) but it may be worth your while. The alert set up is quite versatile where you can colour ...
