The one that got away ..... — I had a sell order on EURCAD today which was narrowly missed. Entry: 1.3247 SL: 1.3275 TP1: 1.3225 Had I been filled I would have looked to have taken half profit at the first level of support (grey level) and ...

GBPCHF — Another level I was watching. I like to trade the first time back to the broken level which unfortunately in the case of GBPCHF was too soon after the level was broken for my liking (first red arrow). I like a bit of time and for ...

Crude — Another level I was watching today was this crude short, again price was moving quite impulsively towards the level which should have been reason to trade with caution. Had I taken the trade I would have most likely reduced my risk by ...

FTSE100 Short 2/4/2012 — LTF FTB to a daily SR with LTF fib confluence. Price was moving quite impulsively as it approached the level which was perhaps a good enough reason to step aside. Price broke through the level and hit my SL on the same ...

Fail Better

Have you tried right clicking on the market window and selecting show all. You should def have more markets than just the FX pairs. Otherwise FXPro is another good broker for demo accounts with a lot of markets to choose from.

DAX30 Short 30/03/2012 — LTF FTB to a daily SR level. Due to broker issues my order was not filled on this trade but had I taken the trade I planned on taking half profits at the FLS and moving my SL to BE. Would have been taken out for ...

WTI Long 29/03/2012 — Another loss on commodities for me. FTB to a daily / weekly SR level. It was clear that there was a large amount of congestion and price pressure suggesting a strong move down from the 104.58 so I chose to reduce my risk ...

2 more examples from yesterday where we had a break of an SR and retest from the other side. The GBPCHF is not one that I would have played as generally I would like more time to have passed between the break and the level being retested from the ...

Gold Short 28/03/2012 — Break above of a daily SR and FTB back. Price initially showed a reaction which can be seen on the lower timeframes and closed above on the 1 hour, on the next bar it broke the SR level and took me out for a 1R loss ...

EURJPY Long 28/03/2012 — FTB to daily /weekly SR. Entered and managed the trade on 1 hour. Lessons learned - I think the trade could have been managed better, I should have definitely walked away with a better %R on this trade. If I had stuck ...

USDCHF Short 28/03/2012 — FTB to daily SR, previously support and now we expect it to act as resistance. Took slightly less risk on this one as we had some congestion not far below the entry which would also now act as support. Just over half ...

GBPUSD Long 28/03/2012 — FTB to a strong daily / weekly SR. Cable has always been a choppy pair and on the lower timeframes the level was not the cleanest but still a good opportunity for a long IMO. Took profits at FLR and moved my SL to ...

A trade from yesterday ..... — EU FTB short to 1.3395 area. Not the greatest level and I didn't take this trade, but may have been worth a small position given the confluence of USDX and the FTB to the monthly level at the time. image image
