"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Aussi I hope you don't mind how much I posted in your thread? Most of them do not have much substantive value, so if you want to, I will stop posting trades, or at least limit them.

I for one appreciate them MrJ, it helps me to see where your getting in. I sometimes take trades in the same spot too but it's all the other ones that do the damage
If I could just take those I'll be alright. Need to learn patience I guess. I would post myself but I am too inconsistent.

Hey Joker

Please don't stop!

it is valuable lessons that your posts provide, that you learned on Aussi's thread and are now helping others with.

Much respect

Kind regards

Monkey

Hey MrJoker,

Please keep posting, I would think Aussi would be happy to see other traders do well as well as helping others learn. Some of your posts that were really helpful were the ones where you showed the 'not so good' places vs the best spots. But the rest of your posts do show me (and I am sure others who may trade in a similar way) what may have not been taken... Yet there was a spot. Not everything has clicked my end, otherwise I would be posting more myself lol

For example had shorts here.. for a nik clause through daily open.. TP just above midpoint... Wasn't fast enough to protect them and hit 30 pip stops a while later... not only that but missed the buys.. probably from my best spot.. What also helped? the pots you yourself and others make on this thread

So kind thanks to everyone that posts with the intention to help others

I am glad that it is not bothersome for you.

Ah Ha. Sorry Aussi for asking silly question ! It was just a consultation just like you and I went out for coffee together ^^ Thanks for your advice + Mr Joker + high probability positive visual analysis from Digger. The idols are amazing and have a lot of experience to be able to make money from this fierce market. I don't know what else to say to express my feelings. I have started to make some money out of the market that I have been failing for so long. Thank you very much. I love you all

He won't be happy when my idol stops. Or to be more precise, I will be very sad and heartbroken when I can no longer see you posting transactions

Can you tell me what is the reason you decide to switch from short to long why not re short at the tail of the candle again. Or you just see it have enough room for 11.2 pips long. I try to trade like you but I end up short the bottom or long at the top very risky.

Yes you are right, these types of trades are risky. I don't recommend trading this way, especially at the beginning. In the case of these shorts the only good place would be at the WH5 level as well as daily R1. As you can see my shorts were too low to close at 11.2p profit. I switch to long due to the general direction of the price in which most of the day followed, the second thing was the reaction of the price, it was minimal, it told me that it would probably go further up. With the second shorts the reaction was strong enough to go lower, you are definitely able to notice the differences.
Now enough of timmy talk, because Digger is about to come and say that I complicates things too much, which is definitely right.
Bottom line - Trade always from best spots, no matter the direction.


By the way nice to see my gumpy is still in game.

i have no problem with your posts , i have a problem with freeloaders

Ok I will leave this topic. Thanks !

your posts are welcome if you look at the past posts on the thread asking people do you think it will continue or will it go up more it sends the wrong message , you said you we sorry i accepted that and that reply was to joker and was not aimed at you in anyway but was meant for the broader audience kindest regards

No, they have some problem with FXCM data.
