Your suppose to be enjoying your weekend and relaxing, not studing charts (tradeaholic lol). Great analysis. Last month saw on the big majors some signs that a swing is in the water this month. Dojis at the top of long runs (monthly charts) with no ...

Strat's Long Term Stress Free Trading

This system is highly similiar to a few opening week breakouts (first strike plus springs to mind). Although the entry parameters are different I would say the trade execution price would be similiar. FSP has been used by Joel Rensink along with a ...

4H Box Breakout

Ill try to do some spreadsheeting of results for NFP with the 5 Min IB strat over the weekend if I get sometime. Ill post results in the journal as it isnt completely relevant to this thread. Razor

The morning after — We the morning after NFP seems to be (for now anyway based on 2 successful months now) to be warm and sunny. Last night got an account ravaged by chop back on track, at least alittle. So far last nights results added close ...

Fantastic post, all the highlights of a great comedy plus some wimbleton action. I trade the NFP on the 5 min timeframe but have my strategy that I trade to a 'T'. Yesterday was great with the USD/JPY dropping as it should. I took the Inside Bar ...

NFP — Great start to the month. Traded the 5 m post NFP release with the GBP/USD long and USD/JPY short. GBP/USD long got to around 35 pips before falling, took some off the table netting about 10 pips and the USD/JPY short struggled before ...

For those who know me, I take nothing seriously, life in jest is fine. R/R is the life blood of trading lower TFs. The drawdown can often be: 1) being glued to a screen to manage the trade, unless you can take 1:1 and walk away for a while 2) ...

Can totally understand. Most traders that overtrade usually trade anything they see and from the outside it may seem that way with this thread and some others. I have always been fairly picky with my trades but I have come from a group of higher TF ...

I was, am in the USD/JPY from the open of the day. The range was bloody tough but the breakout was strong and worth the wait. I netted 90 pips on half my trade and the other half can only travel back to my open point. It is left up to the market now ...

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

USD/JPY — It is set for a breakout, 30 pip range for the past 6-7 hours, once something triggers I think it will be off. Im currently long (different story wont get into it here) and holding, SL is fairly tight and can be given the range. Razor

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

Cheers for the support. The rest of this month will in my opinion be chop whilst. End of financial year plus NFP this week could be a tortuous and I am contemplating being highly hightly selective (I should always be but as Joel mentioned you need ...

Ouch and Ouch — We this month has been tough. The start was ok, the middle sucked and right now I am just ready for a new month. I havent been as active on account of trading with a live group but so far this month I have managed to reverse ...

good morning London — Well this thread has been quiet, thought I would wake everyone up. It has been a tough couple of weeks for the DIBBER's with chop chop and a side order of chop. How are we all fairing. Razor

The DIBS Method... No Free Lunch continues

Why is it that forum traders feel the need to speculate on there account sizes and how good they are. I mean honestly what new trader opens an account with 25K. What % do you risk on your trades at that stage. There are pros and cons on both sides ...

Brokers Do Take Opposite Trades!

That's because they didn't adapt their trading to the changing market conditions. They lost their edge before they lost their accounts. I know traders that have traded the same method for the past 2 decades, it has a definate edge. One could argue ...

Withdraw or re-invest?

Plenty of 'Edged' traders blew accounts during the sharp decline over 2007/09. Im sure they all had an edge and great MM until then. Only have in your trading account an amount that A) you are mentally prepared to loose B) enough to cover your ...

Withdraw or re-invest?

Another tough week — A bit rough again after Monday set some early tones. My first trade for the week was a great winner but since then Ive had few others deliver much at all. Today may be the start of some nicer weather. There is a ...
