pharley replied Aug 12, 2015HI Dutchips, Ah I see. It's good you got some pips out of that! I think that if you can start to trade like that, it's like anything - practice and you'll get better at it. Soon you'll be running up hundreds of pips! What I can say about this way of ...

pharley replied Aug 12, 2015Hi Relax, Thanks mate and I see what you're saying - on the daily chart that could look a bit tight, but I'm taking cues from the weekly. See chart below. You can see a weekly trend line coming down and a strong weekly candle up crossing over the ...

pharley replied Aug 12, 2015Good point Relax, Yes it's always good to think of the risk. It really depends on how you want to manage them. I tend to stop entering trades if I can't get at least 1:2, risk:reward out of it and I try to get all trades SL to BE or profits locked ...

pharley replied Aug 12, 2015Hi Rover and thanks, Actually price moved that quickly that I moved the TP up slightly to gain another 25 pips on each trade. Not always recommended, but I was in front of the charts and was able to do that - as I moved them I also moved up all the ...

pharley replied Aug 12, 2015Hi all, Many thanks for your comments - that run turned out very well and or sure there's luck involved. They're not all like that, but at least we can be in position to take advantage of them when they go. Dutch - how come only about half of that - ...

pharley replied Aug 11, 2015Hi Happy, Thanks - yes it was a nice run of a few hundred pips. I'm always on the look out for those types of set ups. Normally I risk about 3% or 4% on the first trade then 6% to 8% on the remainder. I add to positions when in profit - normally ...

pharley replied Aug 11, 2015Interesting pin bar on the 4hr that I don't like - see chart below with minor resistance shown. So my options are to cash out now all my trades or keep it going to play out. Looking at the 1 day chart it had a great move up so I'm not surprised to ...

pharley replied Aug 11, 2015Hi Dutch, Yes it's always a problem when work gets in the way of trading! Still, you're taking the right approach by looking at the daily charts and trading mainly off those and perhaps the 4hr as well. My SL for the third entry (not a great one I ...

pharley replied Aug 11, 2015Trade 3 - not really a pullback on the 4hr, but movement on the 15m - yes I don't normally go to 15m, but it's moving up quickly. Plus, both T1 and T2 are safe and in profit so I had zero risk. Also, if price comes back to hit stops for everything, ...
