Hi,

the last trades closed on Friday at market's last working hours.
No trades taken on Monday, couldn't post due to internet problems.

No trade for today also.

Happy trading
 
Looks like euro is undecided where it tends to go. A look at weekly chart shows that potential for down movement is higher.

However, I will trade Tuesday's Inside Bar in both directions

(T02161) buy stop eurusd at 1.3572, s/l: 1.3451 (0.5% risk)
(T02162) sell stop eurusd at 1.3451, s/l: 1.3572 (0.5% risk)

Happy trading

Happy New Year to all :clap:

Attached file contains details of all trades taken in this journal since September 02, 2010. Overall profit is 19.73 %.

A good journal. Is it possible that you can update your summary of all trades at the end of each month?

Keep calm and carry on.
 
My method is discretionary, maybe it is too discretionary. A trade is either
(a) stopped out,
or
(b) is closed it because it is going no where (time stop).

I don't have any rule for (b)

Good trading. Below are some of the points you have discussed in the thread to date.

I'm waiting for support area.

Yesterday we had huge drop in eurusd, but I prefer not to add to my sell position after this huge drop.

Stops are usually 10 pips above/below High/Low of previous day candle.

so (on average) you're using approx. a 200 pip stop although like me looking for HH or LL of the session or previous session..


Are you starting to become clearer on your rules for your trading? Do you want to summarise them here?

Keep calm and carry on

enclosed file includes summary of all trades of 2011 except two eurusd buy orders which are open now. 2011 profit (up to now) is -1.34%.
Overall profit from September 2, 2010 (start of this journal) is 18.39%.

Keep calm and carry on.

I really like your signature :)

As stated earlie my method r is discretionary. No indicator is used to generate signals. Recently I added RSI to my charts to study use of divergence.
I believe it is better that I explain my reasons when I'm placing a trade . This is more logical for a discretionary method.

Thanks for your interest.
