Thanks alcastro It sounds like you have it all planned out - it will come with perseverance but like anything worthwhile it's never a straight road - just been through a couple of chicanes these last weeks but hang in there. Kind ...

Hi Dennis, It's been a case of 3 steps forward (Nov,Dec,Jan) & 1 step back (Feb) so I shouldn't be too dispondent. I made an error of judgement last night on GU which I will learn from but apart from that I feel I have stuck religiously to the ...

I'm not sure bro as I tested them individually - must have a long hard look over the weekend when I have some time. Anyhow, I'm 687 pips down so far in Feb and that's only just over 10.5%. I'm now using a smaller pip size as the balance has ...

Make that 20 & 21 straight losses - USD CHF stopped out for minus 65 - hit my s/l & reversed back - no surprises there USDCAD stopped out for minus 36 pips. Will post the numbers later if I can bear it lol. Two current trades are up 97 ...

It's explained in the three posts above yours - isn't hindsight a wonderful thing?

Wow! If I'd just ignored that trendline & traded on my candlesticks I'd be up over 100 pips. Also, looking at my charts on UCHF, in backtesting I would have gone long so why did I go short? Afraid of retrace I guess & confidence knocked out of me. ...

What a surprise...........not Stopped out of GBPUSD for minus 59 pips making it 19 straight losses - could someone please check if this is a new world record? It was a difficult call and may yet bounce later today to close above that trend ...

Hi Ken, Yes, I favoured the bounce off the long term rising trendline too but we'll have to see. One thing is sure - that trendline keeps rising and GU is squeezed between that & the $2 mark. Be interesting which one gives way first and I hope to ...

OK, three remaining trades have had stop losses tightened - will we see a profit from EU this time tomorrow? It's anyone's guess lol..... USDJPY long from 120.69 (s/l 120.48 guarantees minus 21 pips) EURUSD long from 1.2984 (s/l 1.2966 guarantees ...

This is a timely reminder, especially point number 1. As you say, all backtesting includes news events so why should I take any notice of them now? Although I still ignore any news events, I am finding myself thinking, 'what if they raise rates', ...

EU long from 1.2984, UJ long from 120.69 & UCAD long from 1.1847. EU has recovered well today, UJ is has retraced a little too much for my liking & UCAD after hitting high of 1.1875 is now back around the 1.1840 area yet again lol. I'll be entering ...

Thanks turbo & Mikhail for your input Thanks Matt - yes, currently seeing green pips overall on my three remaining trades so maybe I can lock in some pips tomorrow on one of these. Kind Regards Steve

I agree with this Mike - obviously at some point when you can become totally debt free with money in the bank you can reduce the risk and you are comfortable with your average profit each year. That's why I like stating pip gain/loss beacuse as that ...

Thanks so much Dean for taking the time to respond - my thoughts as well but I'm only a noob - what do I know lol Anyhow, I'm in this till the bitter (I mean better) end and then we can have a good year of live data to go with the 2 years ...

A question for the experienced traders here — OK, It's been dead at work today due to the weather so been doing some calculations which I would like some comments on please. We hear a pro trader would be very happy with returns of 30% each ...

GU now hit for minus 44 pips - probably bounce up a hundred now Oh, on second thoughts, it has to drag down my EU to stop that out first before bouncing lol. OK, onto work - better ask for a raise lol Kind Regards Steve

OK, USDCHF short stopped out for minus 38 pips. Looks like GU may go the same way - as usual all 5 trades have been in profit at some point and then the market kicks you in the teeth. Anyhow, keeping the discipline & watching the snow - yes, snowy ...
