AU / UCad

2 51 pm - Key time changed them again

UCad stayed under 3020 anyway so always favoured bear bias again

AU after 2 51 pm fall stopped and just seen a 17 pip rise again up to high of the day area
 
EU - Early US session moves under 1273

]EU

1 40 PM[/B]

Between 1235 / 40 and 1273 / 86 on the EU is like a BTTZ range

We need to be careful in this area - as its a trick area designed to catch traders out

Above 1273 and 1286 - yes look at new scalp buys

Under 1273 - 67 and 35 then yes - look at scalp sells

But if we stay in the 40+ pip range - then its just a tight scalp area and i would advise waiting to get out of it before entering other than for quick scalps

I reckon I will post a EU chart next showing some nice correlations of Time and LR cross overs etc

In the last hour after 1 30 pm Cad news there as been 4 nice scalps

I have not taken every one as not planning to go scalp mad at this time of the day - but at least with my set up they are there to see

Chart coming next

EA

7 30 am

check out 7 20 / 21 am as similar to EJ scalp sell

This EA pair as dropped 20 pips in 7 min
s

EA

1 min LR chart

You can see the price is under the LiTs area and it been falling

7 20 /21 am said sell again and it dropped then 30 pips to 5644


Check chart set up and see if yours agrees

7 21 am was a KT and my 2 quick Lrs crossed for down at 7 22 but PA said whilst under 5681 - then it was another sell again

7 38 / 39 am was a scalp buy - but not in it just banked 70% instead and will leave 30% on the sell for now under 68

This is what mine looks like:


Hi FXW

That looks OK and as long as it also fits in with the time windows - then I think its very tradeable

I hope you got some good pips off the EA today

We have just had a 100 pip retrace and earlier on before lunch we had a good 50+ pip retrace

If any experienced scalper intraday trader had been 100% focusing on the EA today I reckon with multi entries there was maybe 500 pips available off it - ie like 350 in sells and over 150 pips on buys

Hard work maybe - but all possible - instead I took the lazy way today - but still very happy with the result

Regards

Agree F flow very nice today and LR's keep you in the right direction. Took 20 trades with 2 losers today - 29 pips :) Just taking a few pips here and there.
 
LiTs on other key pairs

GU - 5215 - 5246

EJ - 135 35 - 135 66

AU - 7155 - 7172

UJ - 120 10 - 120 37

Uchf - 9650 - 9685

Ucad - 3060 - 3025

EA - 5715 - 5765

I was late this morning and did not post these LiTs area until 7 10 am - although got a dead accurate EU one out slightly early

I did very well off 4 pairs today - EA / EU / EJ and GU - and then added vias the Ucad and AU this afternoon

Please check them out and use their bias - ie above both LiTs price favours buys and bull bias and below both prices favours sells and bear bias

The EU was classic - with 1273 being my mid Lits price

Its dropped approx 50 pips down and then retraced back up to 1273 - and then dropped 60 pips before another 50 + pip retrace - but staying under the LiTs area all day

If you added up all pairs - and managed to catch rallies early - on single entries today was a 400+ pip day - and even if you left on part stakes - then I am sure it would have been very profitable.

See that's another "edge"

This method is not just "scalping" - its proper intraday catching both way swings off scalp entries and leaving stakes on with stops in profit - to get rid of any extra pressure or stress.

I did have some one mention I dont mention my losses much - even though i admitted my last 100 scalps only had a 71/2 % win ratio - showing therefore nearly 30 bad scalps out of 100 .

Well what is there to mention - Some days i just have a couple - and they might be minus 2 or minus 4 ( I never wait for 5 or 7 pip stops ) and then occasionally i might have 5 bad scalps out of 16 trades - but think about it - if I had maximum 5 pip losses on 5 bad scalps that's minus 25 pips

Then if I end up with 11 good trades out of 16 - they can range from just 3 pips to 30+ pips. So lets average them at just 10 pips

so 11 x 10 pips = 110 pips - minus 25 pips off losses - result - net 85 pips - still above my daily target.

I accept losses and try and get out of bad scalps ASAP - ideally within 2 to 3 mins max

Good scalps - ideally make over 7+ pips - but I don't let a pullback take me into a minus situation the markets dynamic not static go with the flows in the "now"

I do have some great scalps come from 2 bad entries - ie first entry does not work - it moves my way 2 pips and then back down 4 pips and I take a 3 pip loss

Second entry - I get 4 pips and pull BE - not happy its working right

Third entry - 5 - 9 mins later - I catch the move and I make 18 pips in 10 mins

End result - 3 scalps - 2 losses of 3 pips - 1 winner of 18 pips net -

Win ratio - 33% - RR of winning trade counting 2 bad scalps still nearly 3 - main result Profit - even with a rubbish win ratio - but all within 20 mins - that's important - plenty of time to make more winning trades etc etc
 
Thursday 8th October 2015 - Pre Opens

Good Morning Guys

Its approximately 6 24 am and I am out in 20 mins and then back again from approx 7 10 am to 7 45am before popping out again for 45 mins - ie taxi services for my kids today

Before I leave for first time I will post the LiTS area for a few of the key FX pairs and then post more before the LO

Its a long day in the FX markets today - mainly because we have late UK Pound and US dollar red news announcements at 7 00 pm UK time tonight as well as other red news at Midday and 1 30 pm

So I am going to be pacing myself and splitting my day into 4 main mini sessions with the last being from approx 6 45 pm to 7 30/45pm

Ok a few LiTs before I make my first trip out

Have a great day


Regards

7 10 am

Back now for 40 mins - traffic fairly light this morning - unusual really

After 6 52 and 7 00 the three euro crosses I trade - ie EU / EJ / EA were all scalp sells

Jumped in the EJ one as that looked the strongest for now

7 17 am

My first 5 pips of the morning off a 23 pips EJ drop - just too late for the party unfortunately

134 73/4 said scalp buy - so thats what I have now done
 
7 20 am

EJ - my second 5 pips off the morning ( 5.1 pips net) of the second scalp - so 2 scalps - 2 wins - but only just 10 pips for now

Very slow start this morning - but there again - I have been away from screens for 25 mins I suppose
 
My last scalp buy - which again had "sync" with all 3 euro crosses was from 7 13/ 14 am - outside the main TW.

For me that's risky as over 85% of all my scalps take place with entries in the main 2 TW's but nothing wrong entering outside a TW if the levels and the LRs and the PA all agree.

Scalps outside TW's might only have a 60 -70% probability of working - whereas if all the clues line up - like say 7 00 am on the sells - then those type of scalps have a 75/85% probability to produce at least 7+ pips
 
Morning F

Morning FXW

Let us know over the day how leaving some part stakes on works out for you

Some days and some pairs - it can be great - an excellent example being yesterday am on the 3 euro crosses etc

Other choppy range days - then not so much joy and so then you need your scalps etc to make your target figures

Have a good day
