Hi zoli, Nice charts mate. Remember not to over think your trade ONCE your are in it. Plan your trade BEFORE entering and stick to your own rules. Since the goal of the method is to use a trailing stop, that is my only peronal concern right now. ...

Hi coolshades, I see what you mean and i am following the other thread. However, i wanted to know if the majority of his returns ARE from e/u - g/u. He started the trend thread to share ideas with other people and to also see how others are doing ...

Thanks for the reply Dan, Also one more thing... I know your main currencies are e/u - g/u. However, do your results come from these two pairs or would you say multiple other pairs have influenced these returns, and if so, which have had the biggest ...

Hi Dan, Im probably being a nusance here :s May I ask if you could put up some charts where you would apply discretion when range bound? Reason i ask is because from the trades ive taken over the last couple month some trend trades run into a range ...

Trend Trading Chart Thread

I see both your point and Dans. I think it comes to a "personal psychological" choice...if that makes sense lol! I suppose its what each of us feels most comfortable with. In the end the "common goal" is to regain losses. If one wants to let it run ...

Thats fantastic Dan! Well pleased for ya buddie . Most people would think it isnt posible to achieve an average like that. Not to mention that 100pips = 2% for you.... lovely juvely!! May i ask aswell, is this "exclusively" with currencies ...

DanUK Simple EUR/USD Trading Journal 2009

Hmmm.... . So your "only" goal with an AH is to recover lost pips. That i understand. However im surprised you wouldnt consider leaving the trade open in case it does continue up nicely...? Have you found out that statistically its better ...

I went long last friday on A/U, but i went in at 0.9150... I guess you use more discretion since you have more experience, like the trade I took on e/u that hadnt "quite" reached the 50 pip margin. I entered even though it was 4 - 6pips away from ...

Hi coolshades, I had an order to go long at 0.7350. Ive cancelled it because it doesnt look "healthy" to me at the moment. Plus it just carried on going south. I´ll sit tight and wait

Trend Trading Chart Thread

Thats a point... — May I ask what the average pips per month have been over the time Dan? Did you start using the method when you started your thread (jan ´09?) or before that aswell? Just trying to see how it compares to the data im looking ...

Dont get me wrong i dont want to sound knowledgable. I am a rookie, thats for sure I am sticking to the 100 tsl because it works and it works very very well. Also because it allows you to do other stuff without "screen-watching" all ...

Trend Trading Chart Thread

Dont want to go off topic about size of stop losses and certainly not recommend it as im testing it personally... Ive been backtesting the method with 5 months of data. Using a 100 tsl vs. a 40 tsl. The 100, if STRICT, works impressively. That gave ...

My Usd/cad was taken out earlier today at break even. Still in e/u (be) and g/u (100pips locked)... Also, looking and watching for a possible entry long in gbp/chf. I see a 50fib retrace, dailies/4h uptrend line, round number. If all well, i will be ...

Cheers coolshades and castlerock. With regards to oanda... That was my thought. Use mt4 charts but place orders through oanda 8if i go with them). One thing i cant seem to "understand" with oanda. I havent had a lot of time to look thoroughly but, i ...
