I am sure I posted at least 1 example in the last 10 years.
Here is 1 anyways the blue boxes are where I see demand.

This is the strategy, the overhead view, a bias.
Next you need tactics. That is how you would trade this information.
And tactics are what make the difference between someone that makes money and someone that doesn't

Didn't realize I did so much trading this week... the week definitely felt action-packed.
But this week, I totally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Even Friday morning, I could've stopped trading and ended the week with a +5.5%. On one hand, I got attached to a trade idea and then focused on how much I could make, rather than how much I could lose (thanks again aliassmith); but on the other hand, I wasn't actually scared about losing my profit or having a losing week either. So either bravely (or stupidly) I was totally detached from fear by that point.
As much as I don't like being below $2000, it wasn't a big deterrent either in my trading decisions on Friday.

I reached my week high by Tuesday night... if it had been Thursday night, then DEFINITELY I would have been done trading for the week. On a Tuesday night however, I feel pretty certain that I can wait for & find another pair that --will make a weekly extreme mid-week-- will make a big move for the week.

Otherwise, I am conflicted by 2 different trading styles now. I need to find a balance, or pick a side. I also need to remember that neither are a crystal ball.


I am reminded of a signature that another Kreslik trader was using a while ago:
1. Big Loss
2. Small Loss
3. Small Win
4. Big Win

Just prevent #1

Bro, bro, bro.... Come on you are up 11.8% you should not end up -5%. You have to control risk use that market money. Don't tap back into your funds after you are up like that. After being up that far you could of lost 10 trades @ 1% in a row and still ended positive. #-o

I don't care what anyone says 11.8% in a week is good. Unfortunately everyone is trading undercapitalized and they just don't realize it.

No matter how much you have.....Protect It!

Best trade of the week
GJ Long
91pips @14lev
12.9%
One of those end-to-end trades where you miraculously catch the top and the bottom.
(max lev for GJ is 15.4lev, I would've went that far, but I was unsure how/when margin calls are activated on Oanda :oops: , and I didn't want that to happen, so I cut down the number of lots a little. I understand how they are activated now)

Manual Entry @4lev

Man! You guys have given me so much to comment back on, sorry that I've been sooo busy. Most of my spare time has been going to collecting and looking over Forex data, to try and turn my trading into something phenomenal. A lot of deep thinking and analysis, for real.

Here are the trading blueprints i am considering for the week. Unlike last week, I have a higher confidence in these working out.
I'm currently in an NU Short trade, so depending on how much i am in that trade throughout the week will determine if I can attempt these blueprints.

EA Short

Re: TygerKrane's Weekly Summary

Postby TygerKrane » Sun Sep 01, 2019 8:37 pm

Week 21
Week Ending 8/30/19
-5% ((from closed trades, but currently have 1 trade open over the weekend))
Entries: 29

Week High: --.-% ((19.1% Fri @115P)
Week Low: -5.5%

Ending Balance: 1916.48 / 1821.24


So to briefly explain, my current goal/obsession is trying to get myself into a hi-lev trade that i can hold over multiple days.

I am currently in an NU Short trade. I could have closed out the trade as late as Fri afternoon EST @115P for a gain of 19% for the week, but I really do just want to hold a trade for multiple days. ESPECIALLY if I was able to build that position up into a higher lev.

I know, I know, the market doesn't give a damn how hard or infrequent it is for me to get a trade of this size up...
I have a TP set that I wanted to hold for, but at the very least, as i was looking at the market Friday afternoon, I do/did actually believe that the market would gap down on Sunday open. To somewhere below the low of this week that just closed.

Now that I had time over the weekend to think about it, if it gaps down, I will try to close out lower than the prev weeks low, rather than try to hold for my target right from the beginning of the week.
Afterwards, I will wait for NU to close a day Long, and then I will attempt to re-Short, to hold a Short position (hopefully hi-lev) during Friday's NFP.

Hey Y'all,
It's your friendly neighborhood TygerKrane here again.
Despite not posting on here for ages, it doesn't mean that I stopped trading, not in the very least. I have definitely been very much involved with this Forex market.

The main difference is that I have I was re-visiting a different approach to trading, and ended up going deeper and deeper into finding an improved trading style with it.

Basically, I went back to using Currency Strength Indicators. Somehow, I understood better how to use them than i did several years ago -- there were multiple other times that I tried to use them.

Since this method is not purely naked chart price action, it didn't really feel worthwhile for me to post charts of my trades and such.

Ideally, I would like to get back to trading based on naked charts and multi- timeframe price action ... I recognize the potential problem that comes from needing to access a website where i have my chart templates saved; if that website temporarily or permanently goes down, I am unable to trade that method.

But it does help me improve my trading pair/ direction choices, holding on to my trades longer, so ideally, I'd like to use it to more quickly earn enough money to leave my job (having 3 years job salary saved up would be enough), and then I could use this free time --and less pressure to earn money quickly--, to master trading naked charts and multi-timeframe price action.

You must be a Texan who moved to NY. Any who, howdy! Rat Trades and Wick Zones. Which one you want. They're both boring, but they'll make you money.

No, definitely fully New Yorker, lol
I was remembering an Alabama or Mississippi Youtuber who starts ALL her videos that way!

Rat Reversals off of daily Extremes, definitely not.
Wick Zones are definitely more doable, that and HOLO trades make more sense to me.

I am trying to get myself into more of a mindset for sticking with the daily trend and holding for multiple days. So these days, I am more about catching an entry and trading it INTO the Weekly Extreme, rather than just trying to find entries OFF OF the Weekly Extreme and riding it across the Weekly Open.

So how do you set your trading goals? What is your weekly or monthly percentage gain that you aim for?
