OK so my GBPCHF short was closed early for -16.8 pips. What looked like the start of a new down leg just couldn't break the support. We might get another go at it. Possibly... Anyway, a few pairs have been disqualified for trading since I last ...

I have been FX trading full time with it being my only income(besides some gold options every now and then ) for a couple years now. When I first started I lived in Washington state on the west coast of the USA. I used to get up for the London ...

I live in Europe so the best time that I have found for hourly trading falls between 8AM GMT to 9PM GMT. You can find good trades during this time. However I would be cautious(dont avoid them but be cautious) looking for new entries after 5PM GMT. ...

Well I usually don't move my stops to BE. Some times but mostly I don't. Also... this kind of scenario is why I don't trade during the Asian market. Just not enough volume typically. I mean some times it really rocks during the Asian session but ...

Possible short down to 89.00, however I would be extremely cautious as this pair looks like it is getting ready for a bullish retracement. I would be cutting any losers real quick in this situation as a reversal is bound to happen fast. So, I ...

Well it looks like I might not get an entry today. Oh well. Gotta take them as they come, and if they don't come, then so be it. Why risk your money on something that isn't there or on something that you don't understand? I am going to wait and ...

The way I use my list is to identify *potential* markets to trade. However those setups may never eventuate and the market may move opposite to what the trend is. In those situations, your analysis method and tools MUST be able to filter those ...

I typically use a manual exit with a catastrophic stop loss which is in the 4-5% range. That rarely gets hit though... most of my losing trades are between 1-30 pips. Which, with my position sizing, works out to a typical maximum loss of 2-3%. Every ...
