Exactly! I don't tend to hold my first trade of the week very well generally, I like to start the week with profit so nothing wrong with any of that as far as I can see.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Cheers man. True but they're a very, very rare beast. My historical problem was taking profit too early so it takes a while to get from there to being able to hold part of one for a long while. What was you overall R/R on the GU trade?

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Well traded boys, caught the best moves of the day between you. Been a little too busy with work today so not actually made a single entry yet. I have now locked in 70 pips on my last third of my Euro trade from last week though and it's now at 170 ...

If he is, he has a cracking R/R there on a 10 pips stop.

Nice work bud

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

This. That 95% fail or whatever real figure it is, makes it sound as if trading is so hard as to be nearly impossible and not worth bothering with. The truth of the matter is that most people attracted to trading are attracted because they want big ...

95% failure rate?

I'm having regrets now, lol

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Good spot on that little quasimodo/H&S. That long half setup from earlier was good in the end but no regrets, i'm happy taking the clearer setups right now.

The story goes that he showed his hatred of the EOs once too often and the EOs finally snapped. They surrounded him, gaffer taped his mouth, tied him up in twine and kidnapped him. They now keep him in their cave where he is forced at knife point to ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

The proper one I got was Forex Tester which was around £100 when I got it. The problem you have when you a trading a pretty much discrectionary trading methodology is that it's almost impossible to back test without a sim. That's why I stumped the ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Well managed mate, I would not have wanted to stay in that trade after the H1/M15 closes either. I'm still flat for now although I have a portion on from last week still on EU.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I'm not arrogant enough to assume that there are no systems that can remain profitable long-term if used properly but I am reasonably sure that the vast, overwhelming majority of them will suffer such a calamitous period at some point in their life ...

Yep, strong area down there.

Morning mate, hope you had a good weekend. No big news around today, might be a slow one....

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Good stuff Turtle! Not too much to say about EU and GU this morning, both finished very bullish last week and are both consolidating around the highs at the minute. H1 pin still in play on GU. Morning all, hope you had good weekends

[quote=Turtle;5484532] Thank you Turtle and glad you are around, i've no doubt as a veteran of this thread, there's a bag of things that we can learn from you. Have a great weekend and enjoy your cold stuff! I have something called "Punk IPA" sat ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I'm going to keep an eye on those trades and see if I can make any sense of when they do and don't play out. I guess what I don't like about them is the way that it's kid of an observation more than it is a true trading setup. If I take a trade off ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I understand more where you're coming from now. You want for your kids to have what you didn't, enjoy the path of least resistance in life that you didn't benefit from. Totally natural, totally understandable. I sort of did the reverse. My M+D ...

One thing you would pass on

we can help each other get the best entries and avoid the traps. That's what this lot used to do so why not just continue their work?

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

There we have it, TP2 now banked at 112 pips. 1:4.6 just on that portion of it, let alone the remainder that is still on. I've never been any good at holding trades overnight or weekends but i've made so much on this trade already that I am going to ...
