theres no better feeling then making 158 pips whilst your sleeping, just woke up to see days range target achieved:clap:
would you believe i sleep with the laptop on the bed with charts open so if i wake up early i can check the trade without getting out of bed so i can go back to sleep. lol
anyway proper update when i get back on main pc.
black swan,
maybe over a pint 1 day if your uk based, maybe we will get trendie to come as well, he is also the secretive type.

summery,
I actually got stopped out on that long (swan was right too early) but i got back in at the same price + 1 pip set my target and went to bed, yesterday woke up to a loss when i did that, today a gain.
of course the last 2 trades was based purely on PA and my willingness to get back in at the same place after being stopped out.
total for day +102
apologies for earlier post made 138 on this trade not 152. misread it from the bed

Nice work fella, I took 4 cable trades today (out of approx 30 on all pairs) cable gave up 50+, 40+, 10- and 50+, ...strange market, similar to yesterday, would like to shut up shop (set limits/ stops) at 4-4.30 but there's an extra shift to be had atm...summery,

Hard work? Pfftt, easiest job in the world this buddy....
When you break it down 25-30 trades over 8-9 hours is what, one every 20 minutes? Yes there's maintenance throughout the day, but that's a doddle tbh...Yep, the charts are set up to scream at me when the conditions are met to trigger the alert...and I mean scream, the wav file is a *scream*...then the box pops up and I take aim and fire...which is another wav file of a 'wild west rifle' ricochet...
tbh I tried trading off 2 hr-4hr for the last 3 months of 2009 and Jan this year, it didn't work for me, profitable but...well just not me. So back to where I feel comfortable, 15-30 minutes.
30 trades will generally give up 15 winners, 15 losers and breakeven, some of the winners are tiny - 10-15 pips, some of the losses likewise...
Once I've got a more years under my belt I'll probably be more laid back...but for now I'm having a blast...

My reaction was the same as Vacos, Swan, 30 trades??!!
If you can cope, all well and good, and obviously, you're nett positive.
I consider myself under pressure if I take more than 2-3 trades per session per pair. Thats 8-12 trades a day. Good screenshot, Swan, with your trades marked.
Dunno how many caught that blast upwards on the GU? I wasn't monitoring news, so missed it.
Seems like it was a good day for all.
I think I will take Vacos hint about being "secretive", and post a few live calls.

hmmm....points noted :whistling. IMO this game is simply about probabilities, the probability is that if; x,y,z + a,b happens then I take the trade, no second guesses I'm in and 80-90% of the time it'll go in my favour, pretty much from the off. Less does not nec = more. May do if you're swing trading but tried that, then moved down to 2hr, then back to where I feel happiest...
Would like to half the pip rate/double the bank...it'll come in my own time...thanks...

range is starting to get too directionless, it feels tight like it has to break out soon. I have to decide on a direction, stick with my short, stop and reverse or close and finnish for the day. at the moment the chart is not giving me any clues regardless of which tf i look at.
