This is my hardest element personally. I work in segments of 80 pips at a time on the ALSI. If it hits 80, I aim at the next 80, or 160 and so on. Like this morning, we have a bit of a nosebleed because it got to 50-60 and then it fell over, ...

ALSI: Long at 745 but this will be my last go at it, its just slow. +55 now, do I kill it and end the morning on around +100...hm... +80. I will end it on +100 should it get there, or take a +50 if it retraces. The end.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

hi all I plan to take a few trades on the DAX in the coming days and generally hold a policy of performing any trials on a live account rather than pure demo. Can anyone recommend a non-us broker who offers tights spreads or sensible round trips on ...

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

At the moment I start at 06:30 here in the UK and trade the ALSI most days until around 11am (1pm SA). Then we have a group of about 6 who meet online from about 9am local and I will generally join up with them and trade FX until I'm done. 'Done' is ...
