NFP numbers had little effect on the markets. The catalyst for any significant market moves will obviously be the US election result instead. That’s too tight to call one way or another with any real confidence, but history simply suggests that ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

The pairs I have in play are doing well, and CJ (the one I’ve documented here) is also still doing well. This pair is likely to retrace as does every pair of course, I have PO’s in place should there be a dramatic drop this week. My open position ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

CJ stop on my open position now adjusted…position safe and still with a fair stop whilst still allowing for any dramatic move down. My other 2 po’s on this pair have been amended with what I now think could be value levels in the event of further ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

NFP numbers were kind, and my CJ trade moved nicely. I may adjust stop level further soon to lock in profit, but I will wait to see what reaction occurs during this week before doing so and I’ll have a better idea by Thursday what’s happening. I ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

CJ update 1 out of the 3 po’s triggered and doing well at this point. I’ve adjusted the stop to offset some of the risk but not all. Retrace in the next 24 hrs is quite possible, hence keeping a healthy stop for now. I’d have liked 2 positions ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

As previously mentioned, CJ pending longs were placed, of which one of the positions has triggered. The market is fluctuating at present, not much more to say. No point showing a chart for now unless asked for for some reason…there’s nothing ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

All 3 positions on CJ now closed for a net profit of 520 pips! I will be away for a few days, so would be unable to easily manage them at this crucial stage. I expect retracement in any case so it’s not a bad time to close, and re enter more pending ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Ok, back to CJ, the 3 longs are doing ok at present, currently about 350 pips net. I do expect retracement of course, nothing moves in 1 direction very long, so whilst tempting to take some off the table now and I know most of you would (and there’s ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

3 long positions have now triggered on CJ as previously shown. Nothing much more to be said at this stage because patience is always one of the main keys required to be able to trade profitably. I could post a chart but doubt that helps anybody ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Keep things as easy as possible, follow the basics laid out. Trade identification…can the market be identified as a buy, sell or neutral, and ask yourself why. Keeping the reason straightforward means that a reference or two will be needed, because ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

A position has been triggered on CJ, nothing particularly dynamic to say at this very early stage, and no point posting a chart at present until the trade gets more interesting, and even then not sure it will make any difference to anyone…people ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

As a reasonably successful retail trader, I know the things that I can’t know. For example, many on here think they know when a market will do this or that. They don’t know full stop, as indeed neither do I. Success revolves around a number of ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Ok…as discussed, 3 po’s for cadjpy longs now in place. I can’t be sure when any of them will trigger of course. Ill post a chart when something interesting occurs on the trades, for now it’s simply a patient waiting game. Any questions, then ask

Trading Journal (only my take)

I guess everyone must have their charts sussed out..haha. Here's a trade looking to set up, you can see the 3 po levels that I'll take in a few days time, and they'll stay there, potentially for weeks before triggering, unless I have good reason to ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

It’s been a while, but thought I’d have a look around. Same stuff…nothing changes. I reckon this site is only for losers…winners don’t have any need to post. That said, I’ll offer some guidelines for those trying to win, and bear in mind, that time ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Looking around the threads, nothing’s changed, no improvements, nothing to inspire learners, but plenty as usual to send newbies down the wrong path imo. Old hands continue to serially post the wrong stuff in the main, where pretty much everything ...

Trading Journal (only my take)

Lou…it’s ok. At least you have thought about other ways to look at the market without candlesticks etc, it’s your first step. Take your time and think about what I previously said…ie what other reference is needed to make an informed decision and ...

No Indicator Trading System

Lou…using high and low lines is something I’ve used for years. I have no use for the close line though in my style of trading. I have posted many live trades in the past, and if you decide to take a look, you may find something useful if you are ...

Hi Jeanlouie Wow...superfast response, and 100% spot on work. Excellent job, thank you very much, it helps my market analysis enormously. It's great to see a knowledgeable pro as you clearly are, who understands the problem and solves it instantly. ...

Hi coders out there I'm looking for a closed price, consecutive bars indicator with user defined parameters that draws a box when conditions are met. I've attached an EU H1 hand drawn image of the kind of thing I'd ideally like that hopefully ...
