10 35 am

Popped back to have a look

Its been boring - except maybe Pound crosses

After 9 30 am the GU and GA were scalp buys worth taking

Other than that - just a slow down in ranges

Will pop in before Midday again - but will be around for 12 30 pm news on US and Cad dollars

GU & GA

Comment above approx 5 hrs ago

You should be if you left any partial stakes on up over 60 pips on the GU - and on the GA - up approx 65 -70 pips

Still both bullish - need to check whether next hr they might peak after hitting R areas

EA - Chart Update at 3 00 pm ish

EA

Chart from this morning

By then already made well over my daily target on it

Now coming up to 3 00 pm - update

Trouble is I lost out not adding above 5530 - i took my partials buys off there - silly so and so - thought I would buy lower - but never went down near 5500 area to do that

EA - Key Time Scalps

Another EA trade - 2 actually

I liked this one because of the set up from after 2 39 pm

2 51 pm was a 25+ pip sell in 9 mins##

3 01/ 2 pm was a 15 pip scalp buy - similar time - but still trying again atm

Thats what I look for

a busy pair - correct set up - KT in a TW and then cross overs on scalping LRs plus basic interim levels of S & R.

There are other clue as well - ie correlations on other pairs and also previous direction 5 -10 mins before the change - all clues aided by the Lrs and of course the correct PA

Back now later on

If you are finishing this or next hr - have a great weekend

Hi Shacau

I keep saying Excellent and WD - but its well deserved - because that type of intraday trading requires a lot of focus - concentration and most important - good disciplines.

That's once you understand all the method and from what I can see Shacau - you seem to have worked it all out and putting it to very good use .

Keep that up for a few weeks or months and then you can really start to gain confidence and progress - knowing that we can never be 100% accurate etc - but if we get out the bad ones quickly - put the good ones into stops with profit and cherry pick the best movers for the session - you have an ongoing money maker

You will have ups and down - the 5 or 7 consecutive losses etc - but then I am sure you will also get the 20 -30+ winning trades in a row - simply because I think you have got a good high win ratio - and as long you work on that - the numbers will carry on coming in.

I am really delighted that we have a few followers now proving it does work and making some great numbers

Thank you for sharing your results and enjoy your weekend


Regards

Evening N

Only just gone 5 30 pm and it pitch black outside - give me long summer days - need to move abroad 6 months of the year I reckon lol

You have missed a cracker again -

UCad / UChf - nice falls this afternoon

GU / GA / AU - mainly bullish most of day

EJ / EA / EU - both ways - even better - i like these 100+ pip moves up and down :D

Some of the guys who have been posting their results are very impressive - trouble is the rest of this Forum just don't believe its possible.

I am sure they think there having a few lucky days

If thats the case my last 6 years must have all been total Luck ( lol)

Enjoy your weekend

Morning F,

Happy T2W Birthday for yesterday.

Keep up the good work (y)

Morning showtyne

Thank you

Sorry had not seen your comment yesterday am - I think I had checked the page after it went on to a new one - and your comment was not there - but this morning after I went back over yesterday - ie my comments and own notes - I have spotted a few comments I missed during the day. I don't think it down to a 30 second delay - I think when the thread is busy some comments fall back behind some new comments and if thats on a previous page - they get missed.

I am pleased you find the thread informative and hopefully its as helped your own progress if you are intraday trading FX.

I get the feeling its only the members who don't intraday FX - ie maybe the longer term Swing traders not always expecting a result under a day who just don't get it ?.

Only this week I have commented on actual trades in advance - with clarity - ie scalp buy again if price stays above xxxxxx on any pullback after an interim high


We then get say pullback and price stays above the xxxxxx and we get a KT and a quick LR scalp buy crossover clue - and any one using the 1 min LR chart - its then obvious what to do next - all with a stop of minimum 3 pips - maximum 7 pips - all depending on the FX pair in question and its spread.

Then for the next 15 or 30 mins or even in some cases 5 + hrs price carries on rising and I update with levels etc etc and probable turn prices to then look for opposite trades etc.

However - for some members - all this does not count ??

To make it more frustrating several other followers to sharing their trade history for the day ( genuine statements ) along with trades that have been mentioned in the thread - and yet other certain members - saying there is no proof - its all a con etc etc.???

I genuinely feel sorry for these traders - but that's not my problem - some people would not believe black and white evidence - mainly because they don't want to admit they are wrong ? Maybe these are the non disciplined traders who don't use stops and feel if they cannot ever make consistent profits- certainly no other retail FX trader can ??

In fact I remember one well respected member (he left over 15 months ago with that nic) saying he was a commercial trader and he felt that is was nearly impossible for any retail FX trader to continually make profits from the currency market. - ie nearly impossible

I remember that - because the statement is just SO WRONG.

For sure only a small percentage of retail FX traders get there - whether its 10% or just 2% - nobody really know - but even 2% could still be thousands of FX retail traders around the world who every week and every month - take profits from their trading accounts.

Have a great November trading month

Regards

GU - Yesterday Friday 30th October

I assume F got the GU buys in us session ?

have a great weekend

Hi N

I did suffer from the "end of the week" brain failure at times yesterday :)

I published my LiTs area as normally - Pre opens and Pre 7 00 am

I had the GU pair area at 5297 - 5327 - which basically meant - Price structure Bias had it bullish above both prices and the area - and bearish under the area - ie under 5297.

I should have scalped the GU from 6 30 am with a scalp buy and left a partial on - but I didn't - lack of focus i suppose

Both after 7 am and 8 am ( both Opens ) the GU never went under 5327 and into the LiTs area - so basically any KT from 8 30 am to 10 am I should have then bought it .

I even mentioned it was a buy after 9 30 am - but at that time - was not in it - as focused on other pairs mainly the EA and EU.

Thankfully - I did get in it after 5336 later on and left a partial on as you say in the US session it went up over 120 pips and actually 138 pips from when I should have bought it

hahahahaha

Hi N


I honestly get the feeling some of the other members on the Forum ( mainly the alternative fan mob ) - must think these other guys are all "shills"

The absolute truth of the matter is though - I don't know any of them prior to joining T2W approx 2 years ago - even Major Magnum - he had heard about me through a contact he had on another forum ( Johnfx) but we had never spoken etc etc.

Members who have come forward over the last year and six month are from all different countries - ie not all based in the UK or near me in the Midlands and there is nothing underhand going on at all . Not one bit

All the training is via this forum - ie previous threads and training here on this journal and on Sun's thread - totally Open.

My method works everyday - 100% guaranteed

No trader will have a 100% win ratio - but they do need to aim at between 65 and 80% win ratios on batches of 100 trades ideally and then take multi trades every day - normally between 6 and 20 a day is sufficient - but i say 10 -20 - because I rarely take less than 10 and rarely take 25 +

If a trader takes 3 trades and gets 2 wrong - more than likely if he stopped then he would have a losing session or day

If he takes 5 trades and get all of them correct and makes his daily target - whether it 25 - or 40 or 50 pips a day - then he could stop - in some cases after just 60 -90 minutes of trading

However if he takes 3 trades and get all 3 wrong he then need to break - and come back 30 -60 mins later and try another pair.

Then he might get to 10 trades - but 6 are wrong and his 4 winners have not covered his losses

I find though - if he is then able to take another 10 trades in the US session - he should with a 65%+ win ratio not get more than 4 more wrong - and so 10 total bad trades in a day - but his 10 winners will be more than his 10 losses - simply because all losses are restricted to just 5 pips or less - whereas 2 or 3 of his winners will be over 7 or 10 pips - even over 20 pips.

End result - a net win.

As a trained accountant N - I sure you know that all stacks up - its a numbers game but the problem comes about because of traders mindsets. Unfortunately 3 or 4 consecutive losses can just create massive negativity - and unless they have the track record to keep them calm under pressure - it can then go all pear shape etc etc.

Finally - its a shame but unfortunately for every 10 traders who try and follow my method over 4 or 6 + months - there will be a few who will not make it . This comes down to either its not their "cup of tea" - ie too stressful etc - or they cannot maintain the disciplines and focus required on a daily basis.

Nobody really know until they test themself - but if they never try - they will never know ;-)

Have a good weekend and hope you get some more time for trading next week


Regards

for me the gu was ineffectual in london session............but the US offered some great opps

around 2.30 the usd breached its days low and GBP was on a bull roll.......that plenty tempting correlation / patterns

60 pips from that if you rode the dragon (y)

EU as gapped up approx 25 pips on Sunday nights Open and EJ and EA similar - EA over 65 pips

I don't trades normally on Sunday evenings - but do normally check out what's been going on.

Tomorrow celebrated the 2 year birthday of

http://www.trade2win.com/boards/dis...trading-calls-expert-retail-forex-trader.html

The thread I was told to quote " that won't last 2 weeks" did not quite go the 2 years - but had over 1 million page reads and I note is now near 1. 2 million.

Shame it had to finish - something we don't have to worry about on this journal -

November 2015 will see the start now of changes to the format.

It will drive the "alternative fans" to try new ways to get me banned - but I am just wanting them to keep on digging a deeper hole for themselves - so given up bothering with the tricks and their lies.

See you in the morning for opens

PS - 2 statements from me

I from this morning - Sunday 1st November am - new day new trading month - and one from over 6 years ago I found in the archives - when I used time based 10 sec tick charts. Note the date and account size and tick chart set ups. Both true live accounts - no paint shop stuff on this journal - ie like some of the alternative fan base use ;-)

PPS pleased to show the time based tick charts - different on FX to charts on indices - pity one of the nutters does not know this ;-).

I will never divulge my account statements from the past - they are private and confidential and I don't advise anyone with a larger retail account to do that. I am not selling anything and all I will say is my daily target I normally surpass is 50 pips .

I was trading between 5 and 10 lots per pip back in 2009 on live account off a £40 - £50k ( approx $70k ) capital account . Previously I had taken an account up to approx $250k using 20 -25 lots per pip - but then had a bad day with seven consecutive losses - and I flipped. It took me nearly 6 months to get back enough confidence to get back up to £100 a pip - and nowadays I stay relaxed on a smaller lot size - allowing me the freedom to trade as though its just a demo account - ie no sweats and palpitations etc etc lol

Monday 2nd November 2015 - Pre Opens

Good Morning to all FX Intraday Traders

Monday morning and a new trading month.

I found October extremely good and just hope now the run up to Christmas stays busy.

We have UK Pound news at 9 30 am - so this morning will be checking out a bit later the GA and GJ - besides the GU - a pair included on our trading list most days.

There will be some changes going on to the format this week.

I plan to always try and get the LiTs areas out before the EO - then to post a few charts on pairs already out of the areas that favour am one way moves.

I have also promised this week some live scalping calls in advance of the moves in time windows - but will be doing that maybe on Sun 11 's thread along with a few of the students of the method on a just one or two specific pairs.

Also this journal is now really just about carrying on for the existing students and I have no plans after this month to start with any new followers.

Sun 11 is only just over half way through her stages - although I will say some of the other guys seem to be already on stage 6 - and using all the LR's along with scalping and partial stake trades with stops in profits etc.

Once you get that far - its then just a case of practice - practice - practice - to improve your skill levels - knowing that every trading day you should be able to make your daily pip and money targets - whether they be just 20 pips a day or 50+

Meanwhile - I welcome more inputs on this thread - ie other charts and calls and any questions etc etc

Have a great day / week and November


Regards
