      Thanks matey Just praying that his flight on Sunday goes well and he can continue his recovery at home. Meanwhile, just set the first trade on my return - long 1.43954 s/l 1.43704. Looks like I missed a good week on the system - we had an 8%+ day ...

      Well, we flew out on Wednesday - flight was due to take off at 8am but we sat on the plane until past 10.30 due to a 'technical glitch'. Finally arrived in Portugal two & a half hours later and were picked up by friends who were holidaying with ...

      Yup, stop loss taken out then the dive - predictable. Apologies as I may not be posting much the next few days. My teenage son has been taken ill on holiday and will be in hospital for a week. May have to fly out there - trading the last thing on my ...

      Hey thanks Sam Yes been tough since the end of June really but as you say these times test us and we'll be rewarded when we break. If you have a trend based system/method the true test is how you deal with the ranges. If you can come out at ...

      Thanks for the input dachelm Having tested this rigourously I'm going to give it a good few months, maybe tinkering with a trailing stop or a % target if further backtesting warrants it. A really tight range this week meant that a small target ...

      Yup, last few days we've been initially profitable so those able to manage during the day would've done OK - even a target of 50 pips (2%) and the week would've been a good one. Cable does have it's moments as does USDJPY. Of course if we knew ...

      Actually looking at the 4 hour chart since 20th July, I'm pretty happy to come out of that with a 0.5% loss over the last 4 days. Hope tomorrow either sees a clean break or clear rejection of 1.4300-30 area....... PS. Anyone know the price now???? ...

      OK, See that smiley face above? It ain't smiling now lol!! Just got back to see 'same old same old' - up over 2% until US news buggers it up yet again and I arrive home at almost the exact same price as where I opened the trade. I'm getting a bit ...

      Hi there Andy, Trailing stops have been on my mind (especially in recent days) and need to trawl through my data again to see if it's worth it long term. The whole ethos behind the method is the fact that when I do hit upon a move, the average ...

      Hi Chris, I think you are looking at the next hourly bar to the one I trade from. 7am bar ending at 8am opened 1.4199 & closed 1.4200 so I went short. The 8am bar ending 9am was the one that you are looking at (opening 1.4200 & closing 1.4181). ...
