Good morning, looks like you've both got green pips so far today. Nice job.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

131, I was just getting my system squared tonight for tomorrow's trading and see that you vouched for me. Thanks bro; I'll do my best to live up to the honor as I continue to evolve my trading skills and experience. I am out here on almost a daily ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Makes sense. Thanks for the info. Have a great weekend.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Saw your post over on the Trade What You See thread where I am active. Nice reviews and descriptions of when/why you took your EU trades. Are you primarily a Daily/4H trader looking at the lower TFs to fine tune your entry?

The "All bets are off" trading journal

Had I waited for the candle to close I most certainly wouldn't have taken it short. As EO said, it's not a signal until it closes. And with that DBLHC and the flat MAs I'd say that it wasn't a short signal either way. What support were you looking ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

131, Question about your 1%. Do you adjust your lot size depending on the stop loss that you intend to use for each trade. For example, with a 20 pip SL you may be trading 2 lots but with a 10 pip SL you bump it up to 4? -Thanks

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Just got smoked big time by the GU. Tried to sell the retracement of that last down move near the 15M MAs and got taken to the cleaners. Same trade on the AU/EU would have yielded pips. Looking now, the MAs were flat, pretty much on all TFs ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I love it! I think on Monday you cleared almost another 100 full pips. With these type of results I can see how EO / Infinity and others were clearing 1000 a week. Great job! I managed 48 full pips today but definitely felt like I was "working" for ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

EU S/R — Going to be looking for a good opportunity to short the EU at these levels after the NY close. The white line is a major weekly S/R level that's been in play since 2008. We also have the Daily and Weekly R1 Pivots here as well. Will ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Nice! The white up arrows on your chart look like some advertisement for a trading robot that nails all the right entries! Nice job on holding your GU position and scaling in and out. As I type she is testing today's highs and will probably push ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Picked up an AU long at 74. We may see a final push toward the highs going into the NY close 1 hr from now. image While I was typing she surged. Took 1/2 off at the previous highs and SL to B/E. image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

With the AU and EU + the US500 near their recent highs I'll bet that we'll range around in this area and then the decision will be made going into the US market close at 4:00 ET. Activity usually picks back up around 2:00 ET.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

That's enlightening... I usually look at the daily but haven't looked at the weekly in a while. Thanks. I managed to get 10 out of the GU short there but it just feels like I'm going against the flow instead of with it.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Closed my GU short as it just doesn't want to stay below the 15M 10EMA. The US500 looks to be breaking higher and will most likely carry the USD pairs with it.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Was just thinking about you Cap, as my current GU short is against the MAs and I'm not sure how wise that is. There is something to be said for going against the MAs at good S/R levels but it seems like you really have to pull the trigger when it ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Actually took my short on the GU due to that H&S that I pointed out. Entry at 44 with 1/2 off at 34 and stop now to 51. image image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Let's see what 131 thinks. I've seen a lot of people say that TLs are too subjective but in any case they do seem to be areas to pay attention. Your upper TL seems more legit to me. The lower one is so steep that it seems like it would be hard to ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Might look to short up the wick if we get a 15M pinbar close on the EU at 1.2600. 1H on left, 15M on right. image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I need to spend some more time continuing to go through the thread and seeing what they were looking at. Maybe dedicate part of my trading time each day to that as I think that it's extremely valuable.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

EU dead-ended into the 1.2600 figure and the highs of yesterday. We also have that weekly support turned resistance at 1.2620...
