Thank you for this thread! As a new trader I have lots of question. I know it is tough on the seasoned to keep answering the same questions over and over. I've been slapped a couple of times for asking a dumb question. For me I thought it was good ...

I entered based on a daily pin bar. I entered by market and not a pending order because price was moving up and already at entry point. But you are absolutely right that I have a lot to learn to have an exact plan. I am too emotional in trade, and ...

GBPJPY + 87 pips +$18. I dropped too early. I was close to tp when it turned down at 7:30. 30 minutes before NYO. I got scared of NYO and losing my profit and closed. NYO was straight up. It easily hit my original tp and went 50 pips beyond. Oh well ...

Took 85 pips from this pair today. Potential was there for 150. I have a hard time letting things run when I see a little retrace. I jumped out too quick. But + is +

Felix, what do you think of this setup? GBPJPY. Friday had a strong pin bar at s/r. The open tonight has been up. Thinking of entering at 152.52 with a tp around 153.7. Sl 148.2.

So I opened a very small trade on EURUSD. Total risk is very small with my sl. It isn't based on anything except what goes up must come down.

There are two lessons for today. One I already knew but ignored. The other to keep in mind for the future. Both trades above went to sl. Even though I wrote above that there is no way to hit sl in 1 day. The market moved against the dollar very fast ...

I am certainly no expert, but I've tried this on demo at a few brokers. You can not set two opposing pending orders on the same currency pair on the same account. It doesn't matter if they are an active position. There are a couple of ways around ...

AUDUSD. Sonic short if breaks below 0.947 for a ll. NZDUSD. Sonic short if breaks below .7918 for a ll. Both of these are lower lots and smaller pt pips. As they are linked. I expect two mid level wins or two mid level loses. I don't expect sl in 1 ...
