Well there's your answer then - take them trades where TA shows good win to loss but with adequate risk to reward also. Eventualy the real win and loss is a multiplication of these two factors so one can't ignore risk to reward in favour of just ...

BGrigore here's something worth reading regarding news trading: url

EURUSD

Hi Atltrader, Hmmm... I really don't mean to spill water over this fire, but really please understand I'm only trying to help.. I took a look at those charts and frankly don't see anything there. Really, you can take any pair at any hour and see it ...

20 Pips A Day Every Morning Between 8-9a.m EST

hahahaha that actually works ? From what I've seen if you try taking trades with oanda that supposedly lag they still fill you with the final price you saw earlier, plus who knows which broker lags and which is right.. Well, that's cool anyway, ...

Took profit on half the small short, chances to reload higher later do look good.. BGrigore, if you're aiming at 200% yearly then 1%-2% for a single news report may be a bit too much maybe ? Have no idea about trading jobs, I have no formal ...

EURUSD

Or have a high success rate system with 1:1 or better risk to reward.. Letting winners run when the trade size is just a few pips didn't work for me, there's a limmit to how close one can trail stop the price effectively. BGrigore that's unfortunate ...

EURUSD

I don't know what shows that it'll go up now, but I wouldn't rule out a short but nasty rally upwards that will mess up all the many people who went short recently. Would be a great opportunity to add shorts near 59. Fortunetly I'm in small for now ...

EURUSD

Hi guys, Do you know if this stuff happens on demo also ? I'm considering using Oanda for a live account again and I need the tight spread for my stretgies. I've not noticed stuff like this on the demo. It would really be a shame if it is so. Also, ...

Oanda Spikes

Yeah, time to faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall ! I hope..

EURUSD

Price broke the small triangle, base was 30 pips, I figure if it goes below 650 next stop is 620.

EURUSD

I did expect it, but the SL was too tight, shoulda put it right below 1.55 but then who knew.. Though some did I see.. Overall, this was a REALLY bad day unfirtunately.. Going back to slow and steady with my ema/sma system on 1m and only riding the ...

Here's another one with the current peaks: url

EURUSD

DAVID, as the chief chartist here Could you take a look at this ? (RED lines only, could be just coincidence, but...) url Thanks EDIT: the center of the 3 small parallel lines needs to be tilted a bit to start from right at the top of ...

EURUSD

If it breaks 5300 we're probably gonna go down all the way to 475 area..

EURUSD

Expanding.. Why is that ? This is what I see: url

EURUSD

Well, you were right, I was wrong - that's life, and experience. Loading on shorts right below 1.55 ? If it'll end up a triangle the libe is above 1.54 now..

EURUSD

Let's wait and see.. I'm willing to risk a 1:5+ risk to reward.. Got what looks like a downtrend channel that's gonna break if price stays above 540 for another 20 minutes..

EURUSD

Yeah.. that wasn't nice.. well, you win you loose, just try to win more btw, went long again with SL at 5518.. Last try

EURUSD

Went in with a small long at 5577 will add more at 5567 and 5557 with SL at 5538.. target's 5665, at least..

EURUSD

5550 is where I see the uptrend line now, let's see if it breaks through..
