Cheers Dave. I'm going to put together a draft trading plan tonight and start making a few trades. I'll start collating some data on live trades and see what I can make work in regards to timing etc., but sticking to your parameters.

Hi Dave, Can you include the screen shot for the AUDNZD? MY Oanda v20 account allows hedging, so I'm fine from that point of view, but being in NZ, most of the forex market activity happens late night and in the early hours of the morning. So alerts ...

Cheers Dave, Unfortunately everything has been put on the back burner at the moment, I was in hospital a couple a few weeks back for an op (nothing serious, but looking at a few months before being back 100% fit), and everything else has taken a ...

Week ending 22Sep18 A mixed week this week, with a gain in equity of 1.0%. We had been on track for the best week ever, until Friday, when the GBP took another dive....c'est la vie. With talk of a snap election and Brexit terms up in the air, I'm ...

Week ending 25Aug18 Another relatively slow week this week – August is living up to expectations in that regard. Only 3 orders placed this week, 2 taken, and only 1 Take Profit hit. It’s been some time since I’ve had such a slow week. On the AUD ...
