Ditto. The trade that I left to run (NU) stopped me out, the trade that I exited when it turned against me (EA) wouldn't have hit my SL in the end (although wouldn't have made much profit if left to run either). Just one of those nights I think!

Have entered a short with a relatively cheap SL for me ... watching closely though as still not certain it will follow through ...

My understanding is historically a solicitor is one of the two types of lawyer, the other being a barrister. A barrister does court work, a solicitor does the non court work (e.g. property agreements etc). However, like jjre said, in NZ, this ...

Just a reminder that those pesky Europeans have finished daylight savings - pesky in the sense that that means for us Kiwis, LO isn't until 9pm now.

Yes talk about volatility being back! I saw that the NU had climbed overnight, then when they said what it was on the news tonight (hadn't checked charts yet) I was like "what?!?!?" ... GJ, EJ, NU all basically gave up the gains they had last night ...

Great share jjre ... great self analysis, and I think that is definitely one of the key tricks to being a success in this trading business ... and emphasize's the point of "don't go to the trades, let the trades come to you".

Yes, yes you do! Been away from the thread for a bit, for me I would be a "qualified" yes ... the qualification being, when I'm doing things properly. Hang in there Jamz ... I only recently seem to have turned the corner (and still need to prove my ...

Not in this case ... to be honest, even though it was on my charts, it still somehow stayed invisible to me (actually, maybe it was just off the screen when I exited). Having said that, at this stage in my trading journey, I was happy to take a ...

Nice bread and butter trade on EA earlier ... Entry reasons : Good m15 stoch Second bounce off around 1.44487 (green line), indicating some kind of resistance there Trend for the day is down, so with trend Approx 20 pips to s2Exited when it hit s2, ...

I'm not RJ, but, I do use automated jumping stops etc ... in my experience, 15 pips is just too tight, and 10 pips way too tight, especially on pairs like EJ - you'll find that you will get stopped out at breakeven and likely miss out on what ...

The world works in mysterious ways ... Made 17 pips off that downward push towards .83 ... On Tuesday, at the same time (entry 5 mins later than today, exit 30 mins later than today) I made 14 pips off exactly the same move (although on Tuesday it ...

Muppet show tonight peeps! Draghi at 9pm and FOMC Evans at 9:45pm ... what's going on? Shouldn't he still be in bed at that time?!?! Apparently he speaks in Oslo ...

True story - when I first started trying this forex world, I was convinced that pivot points were silly and didn't matter ... how little I knew back then! Quick 13 pips off of EA following bounce off of S1. Put TP 2 pips below DP as I knew that ...

Yes we can, and let's hope it's tomorrow! On another note, I think they may have changed something at FF as I suddenly discovered I couldn't post in this thread after having being able to previously. I noticed I was no longer in RJ's buddy list, and ...

One of the other possible reasons for the quietness is that on days like yesterday, where large trends have already been in play a long time prior to LO, is that for the less experienced traders, who are still waiting on the good m15 stoch setups ...

They really do! For those that follow Team NZ (probably not a whole lot of us, but still) , I think there's a good analogy in preparedness in there ... by the time they got to the finals, Team NZ had spent over 100 days on the waters of San ...

I use pixlr.com - online image editing ... if you choose advanced, then it's basically very similar to photoshop but free! Even better, if you're a chrome user you can install it as an app (and possibly on firefox too).

Hope everyone has done ok tonight ... my "trade of the day" has been EJ ... (also had two rather poor trades, the less said about those the better). Anyways, sharing the EJ as it was a good example of a good trade : Entry reasons : Continuation of ...

I was going to take another portion off at 20 pips, but accidentally ended up closing the whole thing ... ah wells ... 20 pips is not bad and there definitely seems to be an invisible line above yesterday's low that's proving a bit of a struggle for ...
