I have been doing the same thing - after spending some fruitful time this week, I too was counting on the martingale and thanks to awol's confirmation that I was indeed heading in the right direction I spent the day widening my buffers, adding bars ...

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

My journey — FH you have made a request on more than one occasion for traders to share their experience using your Stairstep methodology with you. I do not post very often; if you check my history, you will notice that I did a journal on FF ...

Extracted Thread (per thread starter's request)

Thank you — I appreciate your response, as you noted - its the exits that make the money. I have not gotten my head around the macd as an exit strategy yet. I need to spend a little more time with it and compare it to what I see as possible ...

3% Risk Gives You Bliss System

Evolution of this system — Cubby, I have been conducting my Saturday recap and found your new thread, I have been mucking around with it and find it of interest. Part of my evaluation is to understand how each component of systems works so I ...

3% Risk Gives You Bliss System

lose everything in your account — What kind of advice is that - well if you lose everything in your account its only a $100 and your career is over. Realize its not about the money - its really about who you are as a person. Can you pick ...

How do I move forward?

Looks like its time to evoke your ability to honor a stop loss and realize this trade idea is a bust. Would be interested in the indicators you use so I can have the kahonas to follow your lead and find someone who wants to invest 100K in my ...

I am adding this note just to get this thread back up to the front of the line so when I continue my reread of this thread I don't have to scroll down a lot.

The System II (Yes with irony)

H chris, I am rereading the irony thread and just ran accross your posts on feeling like giving up - been there. I have chosen to stop trading until I finish the thread for the 3rd time, keep picking up little things I missed that I needed to ...

System 2 (AUD trading)

As much as I would like to say yes I know - I don't. I only have hindsight to work with since I closed my long at 4010 and went to bed. I can look at the chart and the truth is - what I would do in the heat of price action is probably haved exited ...

The System II (Yes with irony)

Mac — I am concerned about the broken glass bit - sounds a bit like punishment to me. Thank you for pointing that out - when I wrote it I was thinking of a time in a personal workshop I was attending where I became clear what my dominate ...

The System II (Yes with irony)

Mac - Thank you - I was looking for a way to do a better job of managing my mind when I am trading. The "I am so stupid" or "not again" mental thoughts do nothing positive for my trading and are actually detrimental. Lately I have been turning off ...

The System II (Yes with irony)

Ok my orders are set long 4414 short 4395. With the euro in such a tight range for the day I can only hope that london wakes up and moves the market someplace esle besides the 4400 level.

I have pending orders at 9321 and 9305

System 2 (AUD trading)

I had hoped when price broke 4474 that I would bet a nice run since that has been support for several days - oh well -9 for the test is not bad. Got out because price broke up and tested that level a couple of times - can always get back in.

The Vortex Trader

I went back to the drawing board just a little bit. I have pending orders on the Eur long at 4519 and short at 4489. I will take them off the table prior to the News comingout later this morning if they havn't gotten me in by then.

Edit: what a nonsense to play #1 for 12 pips, isn't it?[/quote] Only in hindsight.

The System II (Yes with irony)

What I pay attention too on the 2G+ exit is when it happens. I use it most often when PA triggers my entry and on the same candle or the next candle closes inside the Levelline, I exit. The market is telling me its not ready yet to run. The time I ...

The System II (Yes with irony)

I just completed my first trade of the london market - a FO - for -7 using the 2G+ exit. I now have orders long at 4518 and short at 4485 which was my previous short. Part of the 2G+ strategy is reenter incase it is a double fake out. The hardest ...
