Same thing dragon did trade after trade after trade.

Are you consistent trading like that? I would take 50 pips in a day. With a $2k account I would trade about $1/pip. I think you said something about making $150 a day so you would need $6000 @ 1:5 leverage. I usually don't go above 1:10 leverage.

I have no idea.
My account says the last 6-8? trades have been profitable.
I don’t know what to do to make a few coins.
Not sure where 50 pips a day comes from, doesn’t seem possible.
The markets don’t seem to be moving much these days or maybe I’m looking a too large of charts. LOL

$150 a day would easily allow me to never work again.
My lifestyle would change very little but my time to live would increase drastically. At least for how ever many days I have left on this planet.

This current job sucks.
But I suppose it doesn’t suck enough or I would be doing something different.

When I retire in a year and a half It would be cool to start building Mopar turbo manifolds/kits.

That would be an awesome retirement as I’d have to test my products at the track. Bahahahahah

And here in lies the reason dchappy uses a hedge trade.

Code: Select all

 That's not a hedge, that's a stop loss in the most round about way possible.
 A hedge is done with options, intermonth spreads, correlated charts, etc, and you retain the potential to make money while in a hedge.

 First question: where did price come from?
 You can clearly see that price descended from that top oval and, if you had any doubts, the fact that price returned there is a double-underline saying 'THIS IS A PATTERN'.

 Second question: where did price go?
 You trace your finger down until it stops and on the micro scale it retraces a little bit and forms a pattern (the idea of a pattern is a close or congestion and what close is at the maximum price of the expansion?...it could happen, but that is not what we are seeing)
 Imagine that the micro pattern is sitting on something: that is why the oval is placed at that location.

 Third question: is price reacting to the midpoint of the patterns?
 this is a strategic place to take profit, esp. if you are trading back and forth, and by watching this area you can usually get an idea of what the plan is.

 Fourth question: what is the market condition?
 Is price making beautiful V's? Is it moving sideways (narrow or wide?)? Is it making steps? Are the moves straightforward or 'tricky'?
 What do you expect going into the trade?

 Now you consider your risk-box, how many lines you have, whether or not you need to adjust your positon sizing (need more lines? volatility?...)
 
 Done with your homework? Great!
 Now you can trade lines, risk lines, and make lines!

Ok,
so what timeframe do I use on UJ or AU if my lines are 20 pips apart?
Gotta keep this as simple as possible.
No funny business.
Trade lines, risk lines, and make lines.
I’ve got lots of car parts to buy.

And that damned inflation.
Hella outa hand.
I could get a # of Bison for $3.99 on sale and reg price was $4.99 a few years ago.
Now I see at HEB it’s $9.97 a Pound.
Holy macaroni, I wish my hourly base pay rate would have
doubled to match the inflation rate.
Guessing a successful trader can just double his pip value.
LOL

H4 & D1

UJ has a HATR of 12 where as the AU has a HATR of 8:
Line widths H1:
4.8 pips on the UJ
3.2 pips on the AU
Line sizes H4:
9.6 pips on the UJ
6.4 pips on the AU
Line sizes D1:
19.2 on the UJ (20 pips is daily)
12.8 on the AU (20 pips is weekly)

As Alias said, you can trade H4/D1...
but you'll probably end up spending more time in your AU trades due to the smaller price ranges.

You do not need special indicators as you can do everything right within Advanced Charting platform (I set it up exactly as I would for myself):

The range of the currencies are no 2012. There are only a few pairs I consider trading on the M5 theses days based on ATR.

[MightyOne]

The chart period is represented by the line width so you can look at different periods while you are trading another: if you are trading a "chart picture" then you have to make sure that your lines match the ranges that you see on the chart: each candle moving through 8 to 12 lines would be undesirable when trying to risk 2 lines.

I read these last couple posts just now.
Yesterday I took a buy trade au risking 2 daily lines.
Target was 2 lines.
Nope.

It would be nice if I could use mobile only as when I’m at home there is other stuff that needs attention.

How bout popping a few 12 and 20 pip lines respectively above and below the market to look where to have sl and tp.

After I win one then I’ll get back to kreslik to ask what lot size to use next.

Trade by trade by trade we will see if freedom is to be mine or if it’s only a pipe dream.
