Geezers — Hey, there's hope for me (us) yet! I like your profile pic... perhaps I'll move there after retirement! Funny thing is, as part of my job I get to visit many different types of industrial & commercial business operations throughout ...

Maybe you sound older than you are... I've been a property insurance risk engineer for 30 years & have nearly 17 years up on you in total! The disadvantage is that retail fx trading has only been as accessible in recent years so my start is a bit ...

Virtual Private Server — I haven't tried this EA yet so Hugh or someone else can probably answer. However if the EA is relying on your computer to act, then you might consider subscribing to a VPS service (Virtual Private Server). This is what ...

Looks like that bounced sooner after you entered. A bit like mine earlier in the week. It looks like it missed your SL anyway and is coming back down. I'm just wondering if you should have waited for the next red D1 candle breaking the bottom of the ...

Yeah, you did sound like that!! I might be older than you though? Possibly not, but older than some. Comments are appreciated. I was actually playing with a hedging strategy after originally having set my stops a bit tight. I know that is getting ...

Live Account — Guys, Thanks for the encouraging words! Hugh, I'll definitely be trying to follow your advice & methods - that is why I've been actively following your thread after all. I'll keep the demo account for experimenting and try to ...

The exact hour after I closed by shorts on the AUDUSD & AUDJPY they turn down! You can only go so far "knowing" something will happen. I was "sure" the Aussie would go down, but too far in the red & too tired to let it go any further. But, it ...

Finding it tough to pick a direction at the moment. Just gave up on AU & AJ shorts after trying to hedge them all day. Had to give up some of last weeks gains. Know I'm going to see them both head back down soon, but will have to leave them for now. ...

I started a twitter account a few months ago, mainly to follow comments for FX Daily etc. Most of the stuff is random c.r.a.p. Not sure if some of these guys actually trade or they just talk about the possiblities.

AU & AJ are going backwards on me at the moment (up). Did you open the EU when it bounced of the 100 SMA?

Just wanted to add my AJ short as described above. They're both starting to come home now! Again, arrow shows roughly where I entered short just before London open. If I could remove that particulary frustating bit (and a few others), this would be ...

Got a couple of trades on the AUDUSD at the moment & one on AUDJPY. Entered both without too much evaluation late in the Asian session. Have now written a note not to open trades on a Monday before at least 10 am London time. I'm sure they will ...

AlbinaGrande - I like your Heat Map idea. I have had a similar setup, but currently have a profile with 15 small charts to the screen - each uses a HA MTF indictor maximised to fill the individual screen - so at a glance you see red descending or ...

s/r levels — Thanks for that Hugh. I'm using "Sweet Spots GOLD" instead of Quickdraw for the 50 & 100 levels. I seem to be at a memory limit on my laptop as I can't add any more indicators - even another MA won't save. I assume thats because a ...

@ Gizzledonk - Looks like you got some good trades there on the M15 chart. How would you describe your success & stress levels with this type of short term trading rather than say trading the H1 chart in the same direction? I like the concept of ...

Rollover — Go Markets do quote it in pips - you will see the table if you follow the link. Not sure how others quote it. I had 3 (now I check) x 1.0 lot trades on AUDJPY & 2 x 1.0 lots on AUDUSD. Cost me AUD 52.51 for each AUDJPY lot and AUD ...

EUR / USD / CHF — The EURCHF bounced after the SNB declared they would defend the 1.20000 level. It went up for a while then has gradually dropped back to 1.20000. Prehaps the SNB is defending this level again. If that is the case, then the ...
