Here is how not to trade 1-2-3. When your target is missed by a fraction of a pip twice, move stop to BE+. I'm sitting in negative territory on this GU because I hoped and wanted more, now I'm likely gonna get less ...

I think you might be sleepier than I am, or was this indeed a HOLO

Ohh, this one will stick. For a minute, I thought my broker was stickin' it to me!

Trading is as simple as 1-2-3

After my UC 1-2-3 stopped out, I saw a HOLO setup that I took. Since I didn't want to give all the +5 back with too big a stop, I put the stop above the current hour's high. I had the order in 6 minutes before the top of the hour, so it's kinda not ...

I forgot about this UC short I took as a same bar A.K.A. "Hal Special". I messed this one up with the same stop-loss issue as the above AJ trade, though, I think the spread would have closed tis one out anyway. The trade was a wash, I lost $.01 ...

1-2-3 trade for today... and the learning curve continues. This likely would have worked out, but I have a hidden 20 pip SL on my trade manager that I forgot about 'cause I'm out in the field trading from my mobile. I set a visible SL at 79.900 (you ...

Thanks man! Slowly, but slowly, I'm getting there. I forgot to add the M5 detail.

I have been dedicating myself to trading 1-2-3 for the last few months, but I happened on this HOLO on the EU. As Lem would say, "it was sitting up begging". EU short, had a 20 trailer on it and got taken out by the large spread at rollover. 80% off ...

Highest Open / Lowest Open Trade

Are you asking because that bar made both a high and a low? In my somewhat inexperienced opinion, "when in doubt, stay out". Hindsight trading, had I been at my computer, that bar would have been a nice rule bender, same bar short.

I see 2 potential reasons. 1. The ask price is above the LO line. 2. You have a frowny face for the EA, make sure that your MT-4 auto trading switch is on. Hope that helps.

AJ same bar short -15, gave back most of yesterday's spoils. Edit: In hindsight, lows had already been made, then new highs (within this hour), maybe leave that alone next time.

When the conditions are met and your experience tells you to. Also, nothing is perfect.

Caught a runner from the Asian session. Would have been for a few more, but my trade manager has an arbitrary take profit that was hit (I'm changing that now). Edit: Just checked trade manager settings and the take profit is set for 100 pips, maybe ...

Back in the saddle after a nice holiday weekend. GU long + a fraction of a pip. I fat fingered this one earlier than intended and rode the pain train for a while. It then came back up and missed my +5 target by a half a pip. Not wanting to turn a ...

Over the years, I have come to the conclusion that nothing is as it seems. Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
