And yes, that last week the losing column shows positive 45 pips, not negative......

about 8 trades a week on average.......

I post these weekly numbers not to show my brilliance - but as a thank you to MO and as proof that yes an idiot can learn this, if you forget all your bad habits. Sorry for the formatting


BRILLIANT RAZORBOY!! :D There's hope for me also...This website has really kicked my trading into gear :)
what is the positive 45 pips all about?

Thanks ***FX-JEDI***

This is what I'm seeing on GBP/JYP Daily,
Possible new swing low @ 61.8 Fib level bounce, at MZ area, target the Upper Red MZ area 500+ pips away.. My thoughts only not a trade recommendation.

Any thoughts anyone??

Went long last nite on GBP/JYP got 28 pips, was up 71 @ one stage, but failed to take profit as was asleep. got out next morning...lol, missed good short trade tho..

I noticed a text box missing in one of my GBP/USD pics posted, I must of uploaded it before I saved it so will repost pic, I had arrows going to the current 61.8 & 78.6 fib levels, was saying here it areas market may bounce, esp 78.6 level as it was in 4hr MZ area.
price did bounce off these levels as I thought they may have down to the 4hr Buy MZ.


Hmm I need to trade what I think more...

Are you using fibb retracements drawn on H4 or H1?

Thanks Im getting better but still alot to learn.


Thanks,
Yes I draw Fibs on all timeframes, when looking for long, I pull First fib from most recent swing Hi down to most recent swing Lo, then keep pulling fibs down to next swing Lo, & so forth whilst keeping same swing Hi, so there will be a 1hr fib that will match a 4hr fib, just there will be more candles in between.
A swing Hi or Lo is where there is a candle that has for a swing Hi 2 candles to the right & left of it, that are lower then its Hi & viceversa for swing Lo, just in case you didn't know.
I also pull fibs on the previous days Hi & Lo of the current daily candle.

ok I better stop, i've posted enough, tonight..

positive 45 pip loss.............

I try to make my trading as close to a binary event as possible, within certain parameters - one of them being my profit target is almost always over 100 pips from my entry and the other being that I close all my trades by 5 pm est - so sometimes this leaves me in a situation where I am up in a trade - say 70 pips, but it is time to close. In my world and my rules, this is a loss.

Doesnt happen that often

Razor, I have murray math lines but not sure how to set 156 apart? I have a input on the indi that says (P) i put in 156 there but not sure if that was correct. Can you post a screen shot of an entry and exit.

Thanks, Brett

On the plug in I have there is a variable called mmperiod - set this to 1440 - play with your plug in variables until you see lines at 134.38, 135.94 and 132.81

You sound like one of my trading partners -

its not about the number of losses you have. Depending on which "system" i use.........my win percentage is 15 to 30% with an EV of 2 to 4 - 2 to 3 trades a day. I say this not to show off, but to give you some encouragement as I was as clueless as you were until i started flipping quarters

once you have accurately defined your edge, it will all come to you. You need to think in terms of probabilities - buy the tops and sell the bottoms......when momentum comes into the market

Whew,
I thought it was just me.

I did end up with 38.x live on 13 trades but it was a struggle.
Had two I thought were gonna take off when they were up around 10 pips and both ended in a small loss.
My first 2 losses of the week.
Lots of movement in market but it was always just as I exited and in the wrong direction.


I hear ya razorboy,
I understand and that is what I am so exited about...being able to have a small stop yet get big runs.....
I know exactly what M.O. means when he says your losses will cause you great laughter.
I've been doing it on demo....
What is a 15 pip stop when you've had 3 wins of 117/119/ and 185.
It means nothing......

If trading momo I do not see how you can lose 40% of the t ime. wtf??

From what I've seen on the 5m momo candles in the direction of the higher time frame it is almost a 90% win rate if you don't get greedy....
I mean some of those can go 30=50 pips with ease if you can hang in there.

And m.o. say...ONLY TRADE ONE BAR, but you look up from the 5m chart and your riding a 15m candle, and all of a sudden it turns into a 30m candle ect.....

Your tips are VERY much appreciated and the quarter flipping exercise has cemented something in my brain.
Odds baby, odds.

Now it's just a matter of applying the knowledge.
I've still got to work on rule #3. (completely accept risk and let it go)
It's a b#t*h.

thx

At the right time of day, a 5 min momo bar is good for way more than just one bar.............

As to my other question, what do traders do with all their spare time...
