Decision time on UCad long. I'll be adding a new lot here. Should I take the oldest 300 pip lot off in profit, or let it run some more, meaning I'd have 4 lots running long? Thinking it over. image

That"s ok, the Saudi's don't have unlimited cash. Better to burn their oil while it's cheap, then pump the US oil when prices are right. It's not going anywhere. In the mean time, this puts about a $70 per bbl. cap on the world price of oil which is ...

I've been wanting to get into NJ short, but every time I am ready to take it, price makes a retrace back up on the H1 preventing my entry. Maybe today will be my day. Yes, you do need a wide stop to trade longer term, but I wouldn't try to ride out ...

Sure, I can move the stop up soon. I never felt my profits off UCad were in danger. The stop is more of an emergency stop, just in case something unexpected happens. The stop is still well below where I would manually exit if the trade turns bad. It ...

I scan whenever I have time. I have no set pattern. I scan more often when I have no trades going on. I scan less often when most of my capital is tied up in current trades. I've developed a method that only takes about 10 minutes to scan all my ...

If you stop to think about it, there are only a very limited number of things price can do. It's something like: 1. It can go against you a little and then come back in your favor. You just ride that out. You have to give it a little room to ...

Sometimes there is a major fundamental shift in the markets which will indicate the end of a trend, like a reversal of policy by a Central Bank. I'll just bail out quickly in that case. I can always re-enter later after I have thought it over. Much ...

Quite right. I'm naturally an impatient person. But patience is essentially solved now because now I already know before I enter a trade where I will cut the loss short, or add another lot on, or take a profit off. I'm willing to wait days or weeks ...

Yes, MACD is one of my favs. I will also look at trendlines as well. Rarely, I'll even look at fibs, stochs, or regressions. Almost anything will work sometimes, nothing works all the time. Once you have found something you like, the important part ...

Took a UChf long trade. Put a 3rd lot long on UCad long. 8 pairs on my watch list. Generally, these are all pairs that are trending in the same direction on nearly all timeframes, but I want to see them sustain that trend for 100 pips or more before ...

Sure. I haven't found any indicators that work better than simply looking at a bare chart and deciding if price is going up or down. I mean, sometimes they will work better and sometimes they wont and that's the best they can do. Thus, it can be ...

Sure, post charts for discussion anytime you like. It's supposed to be a discussion thread. Really, at this time, I'm not using any indicators to trade (bare naked trading). Though I do have some favorite indicators plotted on my chart and I do look ...

That's all my active trades at this time. I really only need one or two good ones to cash in big-time using multi-lots. If you were watching closely, you'll notice that I work to get my trades to a risk free position very quickly, then I slam them ...

Finally, I'm still trading the UCad long and I have taken +542 pips profit off it this July. This is now another free trade (no risk). I currently have only 2 lots long on it after taking my prior profits off. Those two lots are running +235 pips ...

If you are following along, you know that I've been trading NU short for a while. I've been trading it multi lot and now I have taken +1320 pips off this trade in July (multi-lot is swell when it works). This is now a free trade (no risk) as the ...

Just a quick update on a few trades. I said I was taking an EG short and I'd report back on it. The original lot is now +30 pips, so I will now take that profit and add another lot on the trade. That gives me 30 pips room to try to make this one ...
