I suspect this may end up a little scatological as I'm writing as I read, but here goes. First, I think I understand where I went wrong with the 5 minute trading. The point where I moved to break even I should have been taking profit, as it was the ...

Honestly I can see the benefits, but although I'm reading while keeping an eye on it, I'd much rather be free to do something else away from the screen. EDIT: Well, that's over. Taken out for break even + 2. Seems to have stalled and reversed at the ...

You will find it in the attachments of this thread of the one linked on the first page. Darko2010, I've moved my stop to breakeven +2 now, so I'm not too worried. Should only get taken out for that at worst, but you're clearly going with a different ...

Thanks. Made some notes on the chart, but nearly closed after the long down candle. It's slowly grind up now, but I may end up moving it to break even and going to bed, if it doesn't close per my plan. EDIT: I note there's red CAD news later, that ...

After doing some study on the 5 minute charts, I'm having another go risking not more than $10. Entry on the marked candle, looking to get in on the continuation of friday's worker bar. Entry is on the 5 minute chart, but I am targeting the top of ...

Damn Frenchie picking on my english! Yes, I should have been more precise. The overall current trend is up to my way of thinking., but loosing momentum. That's what makes it a ATM trade in my eyes, the loss of momentum. (Borrowed your chart!)

Well, I go away for a day, and there's another 3 pages on the thread. I want to have a life dammit, not be playing catch up! My take on GBP/CAD is I would take the long from the friday candle. The current trend is clearly up, Although big boss ...

No, I think it's because NFP is tonight. Nothing much will happen until after. Markets will likely range until then. EDIT: and sometimes stuff just doesn't work out.

I see, at the top of the WCC, and where price rejected before. Could be a good R:R if it goes all the way back down! Although I guess you took profit already, looking at your chart.

Thanks for the tips strat, I think it's a good step that I've only taken a couple of trades in the last month. The 5 minute trade I posted, Aud/usd (still open, stop at BE) short and USD/cad long (stopped out). The drawdown on the account is ...

Well, I have most of the yen pairs in a WCC at the moment. I'm going to wait until I get a close outside before I make any decisions. This is after all, the US employment figures this week. Although I would be seriously tempted by GBP/JPY if I ...

In the interest of accountability here's the metatrader report since the start of the year. The first thing that jumps out at me is too many trades and risk reward is arse backwards. Still, definitely an improvement, account isn't blown and I'm not ...

I tend to mean interesting as in to keep an eye on and watch. Not interesting as in trade it. It's not that my example is floating around in the middle of nowhere, there are some areas nearby that are important, it's just that I need to see which ...

Thanks for the feedback on the 5 minute trade. Definitely steering clear of them for the moment, I'd much rather do other things with my evenings! As far as my yen pairs, for example GBP/JPY: Sitting on the top of a WCC, nearly a 50% retrace of the ...

With a public holiday tomorrow and the london session going, I had a look at the 5 minute charts while I wait for my night take off. Took this, then saw the news for GBP on the front page of forexfactory so I closed it for a small profit. I had ...

Screenshot taken just before I left for work. While I'm not keen on trading against the last BB down bar, I see many of the yen pairs as in an interesting place. Will they continue down, or break back up?

Close enough to what I was looking at. Reckon I sold into big boss support. Still a long way to go, but I do know I'm getting better. EDIT: That was a damn nice 5 min trade you took there!

Alright, that time of the week again. USD/JPY BB: Down, but approaching an area of support at 101 BRN. B: Closed below the recent WCC, but near weekly support at 104.20. Significantly below strat shadow. W: Tested strat shadow 3 days ago, produced a ...
