harvest3r replied Mar 19, 2018It hit my trailling stop at @1.40200 after today's rally. As I posted before, it was supposed to be stopped at BE on Friday but I decided to take the risk and keep the position open, hoping for a breach over 1.4000

harvest3r replied Mar 19, 2018What a shot on GU! Hope many people are holding longs on it. From my side, I am happy but not satisfied. Happy for the profit but not satisfied by the way it happened. My main objective is not to make profit, but to make it consistently and ...

harvest3r replied Mar 19, 2018Spot on. I also don't think there is much (or anything at all) to add to the method mechanics, except for the personal twists to be tested. You are welcome to share your ideas and results. To post here or on a journal? Good question. I ask it to ...

harvest3r replied Mar 17, 2018I had the same feeling, especially yesterday. I hoped GU would break 1.4000 (I still think it will) and got frustrated when it stalled. I even broke my own rule and didn't take +50 pips. When it reached my BE at 1.3900, I was outraged and almost ...

harvest3r replied Mar 14, 2018Unfortunately not. I'm trying to concentrate on the major pairs at first, but I think the cross pairs a great option to be explored. I did entered on GBPUSD yesterday and it was a great surprise. Trying to control the anxiety while it doesn't break ...

harvest3r replied Mar 8, 2018What an outstanding post! It's hard to find something so helpful. Thanks and congratulations. If you say that you were able to be profitable but it costed a lot personally, that's wonderful. Everybody wants to be profitable, but nobody should expect ...

harvest3r replied Mar 7, 2018It would be too good to be true, but I heard it is not. If spread betting becomes your biggest (or the only) source of income, it might (or it WILL) be taxed as regular income. Some UK traders could confirm that - unless some UK lawyers may say ...

harvest3r replied Mar 6, 2018Ok, got it. Didn't enter long because it was below the daily open, so my indicator showed only the short side. Interesting, I do the same. Less manual work, less orders to manage. Hopefully it does not impact the final results.

harvest3r replied Mar 6, 2018Did you go long on EURUSD today or is it an older order? I only saw a sell entry. On the other side, I decided to "escape" my own rules and entered on NZDUSD (a non-major pair) in an alternative account. Quite nice breakout @0.7350, over +40 pips at ...

harvest3r replied Mar 5, 2018Nice. I also saw that most of the last week's trends retraced back to their starting points. I could have doubled my account last week but unfortunately I missed all the 100+ pips entries - all due to stupid manual failures (didn't check the broker ...

harvest3r replied Mar 1, 2018Gold? Nice to know, since I spent my first forex year (2010-2011) basically playing only with gold. When you say that futures work better, is it because the breakouts are stronger? I understand you are talking about futures, but nevertheless I just ...

harvest3r replied Feb 26, 2018IMHO this is the only big issue with DIBS and I would say: it depends on the market conditions. Some people might say (and probably said it already) that the market in 2008 was different and DIBS cannot be profitable anymore. While the former might ...

harvest3r replied Feb 22, 2018@Chrobaxk: so you took the USDCHF short? Nice, me too :-) Let's see where it will bring us. "Not all IBs are the same", that's right... It's an issue that Peter left very open for interpretation (or closed inside his small private circle of the ...

harvest3r replied Feb 22, 2018I think it cannot be stressed enough: success comes when you learn to accept all losses, even multiple ones. After doing some manual backtesting, I realized that DIBS has an edge. Nobody told me, no need to trust anyone - I saw it myself. And any ...

harvest3r replied Feb 21, 2018One year after my first trial of DIBS, I just restarted my trades. After 2-3 losses, took this USDJPY trade @ 106.64. It went smoothly up, up, up... decided to close for +100 pips - my first "medium" fish! It took less than 48 hours but boy... it ...

harvest3r replied Feb 14, 2017After some days watching (and missing) possible setups, today I caught another DIBS trade on NZDUSD. I don't like to trade news, but... Why did I take the trade? I started to watch the IB formed at 0400 GMT (no, I don't start at 0600 GMT) and the ...

harvest3r replied Feb 8, 2017Beautiful DIBS setup on AUDUSD today Why did I take the trade? The market was ranging for many hours and then created a IB quite late. Somehow it seemed clear that the only possible market action would be a breakout (eventually a big one). I ...
