Hi & welcome to my journal OK, I don't post very often here any more - the intention when I started trading live was to list every trade made for a year, which I did. 2009 I'll be simply posting monthly results from now on. Currently I'm trading ...

Steviet's Live Trades!

Yup, if you were short the £ then you were toast this week lol. I should have just turned off my pc on Wednesday evening and had a couple of days off - easy in hindsight isn't it LOL Good to hear from you Stew & yes, next week is just around the ...

January — Well I suppose I should be happy as I turned in a 2.5% profit in January. However, just a few days ago was in double figures for the month but had a stinking week on GBPJPY this week and I'm just about to chuck my laptop in the ...

Yeah, for the daytraders you could have spent all NY session shorting with target at 127.80 and then reversing. My sell stop at 127.50 is getting impatient lol

Hi there fellow Brit Best of luck with your trading and your journal! I see from your profile that you're fairly new to trading & you're going to be trading on the 5 min charts. Tjpld is right when he says it's not the easiest - that's not to say ...

From £20,000 to £250,000 this year

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Say he/she risked 4% with a 100 pip stop loss and caught an 800 pip run, that's 32%! It can be done but takes some balls lol. If you can lock in say 2 or 4% initially and have the belief just to move your stop loss up just below each pullback ...

You've done absolutely nothing wrong. Luckily I made 1.5% earlier & I was also sucked in by the beast shorting at 126.95, risking 1.5% on this trade. So, for me at least worst case scenario is break even for the day. If we get above daily pivot then ...

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

You are right Karmo as always hahaha However, a warning to those who are fairly new to this crazy business.... Karmo knows this pair inside out and how to interpret the indicators he uses. He knows where to set his orders, where his initial stop ...

Great advice after a 500 pip tank - if you've made some $ on the way down all the better but the most sensible thing to do is do nothing until the market settles. If anyone has missed the move, no worries, it happens and there will be plenty of ...

Auslanco - GBP/JPY and GBP/USD (newstrade)

Hi Well this was my first attempt at a 'system' or 'method' when starting trading live.. There was no target on the trades, the stop loss (moved daily) eventually closed the trade and I basically let the market decide when I'd had enough. I don't ...

Steviet's Live Trades!

Hi Hmm, good question lol. The initial purpose of the thread was to post all my trades for a year which I did. Since then I must admit I've become more of a lurker than a poster but obviously keep in contact with a few members daily via PM here ...
