CadJ Short, 10 pips @Entry size
Had a TP set for 17pips (based on PA to the left), but took the 10 b/c I was more stingy about my Profit Accumulation Stage and didn't want to see PA come back on me...PA did hit that original TP soon after.

EA Short, 20 pips @1stDouble
Chose my exit based on being in Profit Accumulation Stage, so PA to the left was a predictable/respectable exit point.
...PA continued a straight 65 pip drop afterwards however; but I am trying to make clear distinctions of when I am in Profit Accumulation Stage for when I

A) take what the market gives me (I.e. PA returning to an area to the left, or, an internal feeling to be thankful for what positive pips are there and grab them.)
B) exit based on weakness/exhaustion developing in the current candies of the trend I am riding

Hey Tyger, I notice you using TI...

Do you use their desktop system as well? i had seen a while ago that they allowed entering into trades off of trend lines .... do you know if it still allows for that?

Sorry mate, I am strictly smartphone trading.
I am dead set on my future successful trading life being based around just me, my phone, and 3 timeframes, so that is where my daily dedication and concentrated effort goes.
As an aside, when I was trading on my computer, I preferred the FXCM trade station.

Cool that makes sense... Thanks...

I've been thinking the new Windows surface book could be nice for portable trading... I just want to see a USB type c connection on it, but apparently it's coming in their next version, so I'm gonna probably hold out on buying a new laptop until they release theirs (or something similar from a competitor) - I love the idea of being truly mobile

Add-in for 1stDouble


Add-in for 2ndDouble (TP set)


TP hit

NU Short trade missed opportunity, (would've been 30 pips @2ndDouble), I exited at Break Even instead.
Entry based on PB Limit Entry Order @1stDouble

Limit Entry Order set (@1stDouble; 20 pip SL = 2 risk spaces)


Entry triggered during some gap up news (I assume) event. @1stDouble


Add-in for 2ndDouble


4hrs 45 mins later, woke up groggy at 2A EST and decided I'd rather take the Break Even, than wake up later on to a loss. {No Regrets On This Decision}


Woke up to see that PA IMMEDIATELY dropped 30+ pips after I closed the trade

I used to believe that my 'truly mobile' would be my 10" tablet...
Then I upgraded my phone to one of those 'Phablet' large screen phones and discovered I could duplicate my tablet setup AND clearly see THE SAME #of candles per chart.

My mind was truly blown,
And now I feel slightly guilty for betraying my tablet, whenever I see a trade using my tablet's Trade Interceptor, and then switch to my phone to place the trade (!so that my screenshots are all in one place!)

Love the smart phone trading app. I can check for a trade anytime. Its a bit slow for quick entries but I make do.
