my mondays get better and better ........

scalped through a 100 pip cable fall so far ......too easy

As a scalper i stop no more than 5 pips on any trade and generally advocate 2% per trade (0.4% per pip)

even if ive only had 50 pip win so far ......thats 50 X 0.4 = 20% return on my bank inside 5 hours

go do the math on scalping ........sure you dont get anything like 50 pips every day..... but equally ive had several hundred pips in some unique trading sessions......(guess what night that was)

someone asked me why i wasnt "hammering" trades on the E/G pair...

BECAUSE I AM HAMMERING THE GBPUSD pair

why ?

BECAUSE USD IS MORE BULLISH THAN EURO SO FAR TODAY .....(more pips made)

use a strengthmeter ...it will reduce your losses and increase your winners

so after stalling in 3070s we are back selling hard down to 3040s now ...
 
this isnt how i trade .....but look at how sweet cable is today .......show me 3 consecutive bars of buying ?

no ? .....wow....thats a bear market !

Note - this can frustrate the hell out of you guys looking for deeper pullbacks .....

SO ADAPT OR MISS THE PARTY
