Last GU update today A further 30% taken off TP and stop adjusted on the final 20% remaining on this position, my plan is to let this play out for now and needs very little babysitting. All in all, this was the perfect trade.....good entries, good ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Anyone who trades with real money will know that no matter what method is applied, that any given trade can fail. I say this because it is only relevant to real trades where it affects your pocket! The reason being that the real traders big enemy is ...

GA hit final tp GU....added 2nd entry. TP hit +120. Taken 50% of initial entry also and stop adjusted. All safe, another happy day lol image

Trading Journal (only my take)

GA is looking after itself now, nothing much for me to do on that one at present. I've just entered GU long. Simple tap levels and trigger are in a fair place. This means (for me at least) that probability is on my side to take the trade...no ...

Ok, final update today. I've closed out 2nd entry +100 I've taken 50% off the initial entry also. Initial tp stays the same, but s/l adjusted....it is a completely safe and profitable situation now even if s/l is hit, and yet I'm still in the trade ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

An opportunity occurred to add a 2nd position, which gives me more flexibility to manage both positions now. image

Trading Journal (only my take)

I don't anticipate a whole lot of movement today (famous last words haha). Anyway, I have a GA trade that satisfies my conditions on h4 and just entered long...nothing too ambitious in terms of targets so far as I'm concerned today. image

Trading Journal (only my take)

TP hit +180...happy days, had to endure the initial dd but a good end result, probably much more in the tank tbh, but a decent profit is a decent profit, so I'll take it. I may short again on any pullbacks tomorrow. image

Trading Journal (only my take)

Update GJ didn't go exactly as I'd expected and I needed to adjust my stop to allow more breathing room. Trade now in positive territory. I've taken 70% off, so pretty safe now either way, and will be looking to make further adjustment to stop level ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A quick look around some threads. The usual culprits bragging away with useless te's etc, all designed to just big themselves up, nothing more, never anything useful...surely I'm not the only one who can see that rubbish.

Trading Journal (only my take)

A surge up has got me in the trade now as previously shown image

Trading Journal (only my take)

Tap conditions on GJ D1 have changed the last couple of days for me. Still looking to short, but different area now and there may well be no entry this week on this pair. The moral here is straightforward......tap must occur only under my ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A thread a while back caught my attention because it seemed there was some similarity to my approach. I watched for any developments, but I haven't seen any more posts and my guess is that it became too cumbersome for them the way they were going ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A few pairs of interest for this week. GJ is one of them on D1, and I'll be looking to short in a couple of days time I anticipate. My ftl shows when and where I expect to find an entry level, and I'll post the trade etc if and when I do get a trade ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Stopped out on UC, it had every chance, but the sellers were having none of it. 4 trades were taken for the week, 2 lost, 2 won, and I came out slightly ahead, which is ok given the fact that the markets did not react predictably, so far as I was ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Rather than clutter SP's trading the numbers thread, I'll post my own extended view here instead. Each one of us believes that something or other helps the decision making part of the trading process. Tap happens to be my primary belief to help my ...

What on earth are you going on about...I don't see any connection to your point and 00 numbers etc

Trading The Numbers?

You asked for opinions.... You happen to believe that specific numbers are relevant...that's ok...but I disagree as explained....either way it's not a big deal mate.

Trading The Numbers?

A round number has no more credibility than any other number. As bloodpoodle correctly pointed out, any other number can do as a part of a trigger mechanism, because any and all chosen numbers have the same chance to react to them. So, take your ...

Trading The Numbers?

To those that have asked via pm about the other trades taken. Firstly, I'm not interested in PM's, if something is worth saying then say it here where one answer covers all. Anyway, regarding my trades, I only post detailed trades accompanied with a ...
