StudyFX replied Apr 24, 2017I didn't trade FB today. I wanted to give the market some time after the French election and just slept early. Today's trading results: AUDUSD DZ +3.9 pips Very dumb of me to trade AU when it's an AUD bank holiday.

StudyFX replied Apr 21, 2017Today's trading results: EURGBP FB +4.0 pips (Considered it as 4.0 pips because -6.0 pips + 5.0 pips (but double the position size)) Unlike yesterday's clean trade, I had to counter today. The day I decided to up the risk just for one day to get a ...

StudyFX replied Apr 19, 2017My pending orders weren't triggering for a while and I was too sleepy to wait, so I gave up on trading the FB today. But I traded the DZ instead.

Today's trading results: EURGBP FB +5.0 pips Clean 5 pips. I was willing to counter in the middle of the zone if it went against me. Not much to say when the trade is super clean.

StudyFX replied Apr 12, 2017Thank you for the feedback Lem! It's funny how I was only able to be breakeven on today's FB because of this exact reason. I tend to like having small buffers, at least for buying because the spread might trigger the buy but not actually break the ...

StudyFX replied Apr 11, 2017Today's trading results: AUDUSD DZ +6.2 pips I had a small buffer. Buy triggered. Price went against me. I countered when price exited the upper WZ. I added a sell at the low of the DZ candle and closed my negative position. Went for 5 pips from the ...

StudyFX replied Apr 10, 2017Hello everyone. I hope you guys had a great weekend! Hi Lem, I didn't trade the FB today as well, but if you would have traded it, would you have kept the counter in limbo or increase the lot size? I'm afraid I might create a habit of increasing the ...

StudyFX replied Apr 6, 2017Today's trading results: EURGBP Frankenbreak +5 pips
I tried the Frankenbreak today. I don't have the indicator so I added a buffer on my own and only aimed for +5 pips. I would've countered at the high of the range if it went against me. I ...Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

StudyFX replied Apr 5, 2017Hi Lem, I understand you were already in an AU short from a 1-2-3 set-up, but even with that tiny wick zone, this would've counted as a AU short based on DZ? This was my trade today which I am embarrassed about. But I would appreciate any feedback ...

StudyFX replied Apr 4, 2017Today's trading results: AUDUSD DZ Buy +5 pips It retraced -9.7 pips which annoyed me, but I was ready to counter at the low of the candle. Fortunately, price went back up so I grabbed 5 pips. EURJPY DZ Buy +5 pips

StudyFX replied Apr 3, 2017Thank you Lem for the detailed explanation. I'll try to approach it the same way.
Oh, I automatically assumed Piphunter traded the AU Billy bar. But thank you for mentioning the Frankenbreak. I think I might actually look into this.Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

StudyFX replied Apr 3, 2017Hello Piphunter
I'm guessing you're targeting +10 pips and being happy with +5 when price isn't moving the way you want it to. I was curious if you decided on when you would counter yet. (A set amount of pips? The opposite ...Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

StudyFX replied Apr 3, 2017Thank you Lem again! This answered another question of mine. So you basically watch the price closely once it goes +5. If price stalls, you get out right away. If it keeps running, you earn more pips. This way you can cover any losses or negative ...
