Colostarr replied Jun 30, 2011Indy - Here's the thing. The way I approach trading. if I initiate a trade from the 1H or higher, I NEVER intend to scalp a few. It is ALWAYS my intention to ride that pip wave. When you trade from the lower TF's, sure scalping is the way to go. You ...

Colostarr replied Jun 30, 2011Yes you move to BE as soon as you can, or at least I do anyway. The thought process is to remove the risk of the trade. You move to BE and if price comes back and takes you out - so be it -you've lost NOTHING! If you feel the need to re-enter on the ...

Colostarr replied Jun 30, 2011Absolutley Pin Bars or divergent candles almost always provide a means for entry. If you see an opportunity to enter after a divergent candle - go right on ahead. But last I checked this isn't called the Simple Simon Pinbar method.

Colostarr replied Jun 30, 2011Yes I would have considered that trade, but only because of the current state of affairs with price and volatility with the reaction to the Greece news release. If this set up happened yesterday at this time, in my opinion price would have closed ...

Colostarr replied Jun 30, 2011With a spread of 6.5 I would limit my trades to the 1H timeframe or higher. Kind of hard to scalp when you go 6.5 pips in the hole immediatley! Not for nothing but you might consider changing brokers. Oanda shows this pair with a 4 pip spread Oanda ...

Colostarr replied Jun 29, 2011I have a few trades open from yesterday, but otherwise from 1H standpoint price has moved well away from almost all Blue lines. After movement like yesterday, seems the next day always uncertain. These trades are all from other methods. Reason for ...

Colostarr replied Jun 29, 2011They look good Danny. Although why did you set a pending buy and a sell on the GBPCHF. The way i see it, there is only one trade there. You should really decrease your exposure. If there was a spike triggering your buy stop, it could have resulted ...

Colostarr replied Jun 29, 2011Neither would have been valid for me. The first candle (the Bull candle) closed way too far from the blue line for me to consider. The second candle (the Bear candle) closed above the blue line voiding any potential entry here. Hope this helps

Colostarr replied Jun 29, 2011Sure thing, Look at the attached chart. You will notice that I placed a buy stop just above the resistance level where it broke out. In the trading world this is known as a "Breakout" trade. See how price was rangebound between support and ...

Colostarr replied Jun 29, 2011USDJPY?? — Anyone know why the USDJPY dropped like it did? I had set a pending order just below the balance line and then left my office for about 35 minutes. Came back to a nice 24 pip surprise. USDJPY +10 pips locked currently at +24
