Nice post, I like how you have broken it down. I need to work on making sure I define trends myself, and have also been trying to wait for channels and areas of resistance to be broken and tested before entry.

No worries! That's one the hardest things to get used to for me - taking longs after price has gone down into the EMA... Seems unnatural

Hi, thanks If I dial out to the hourly chart, I can see resistance at ~0.9636... Is this what you are referring too? Guess I didn't look that far out.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your post! Got a few questions if you have a minute? You say you moved your stop as soon as the trade got triggered. In this case, what is the point of having a stop under the BEOB ( where I assume it was ) in the first instance? ...

I put in a limit buy on this one and has been triggered - bit nervous about this one as the AUD was acting crazy yesterday. So, I'm already at BE - only want to stay in this one if it goes - can't be done with it messing me around for a few days ...

Thanks Mike, really good to hear your take on this aspect of trading - The long game isn't discussed very often on forums!

So that works at just under 2% per month, which if you trade with 2% of your account as risk per trade, then getting that great return of 20% per year doesn't seem so unattainable! It's as you always say, slow and steady

He's not being funny. There is a site where one can start an official petition and I think if you get past a certain threshold, it may be 100000 but I'd have to check, the issue had to be discussed in parliament.The FCA is a government body, so may ...
