It would be very difficult for anyone to advise you on what you were doing wrong when you've just netted 51 points.You tend not to get much help when people think that you're winning!

haha. I see your point.
But that's just one day. Everything works some of the time and I'd agree with you if it was the case that I was making 50 odd ticks consistently every day! Maybe it would be the case that even on 100% winning days with no losing trades, a good trader would know that some of my trades were actually low probability trades, and I was fortunate in this instance...
That's the thing isn't it, two trades run exactly the same from the off - one you pull on the first retrace and you look good when it doesn't even look back. The next time, same setup, same action and it immediately turns around and goes your way and doesn't look back - and you feel you've been mugged.I just closed for +7. It's been more but I let it run back. I'm old enough to know that I may regret it. On the other hand, I may not.
I wondered if I was making the gods angry by posting live trades as it might be considered Bravado or Hubris. Only my singularly dismal and humiliatingly public performance has saved me from suffering even greater losses as a punishment for my sins. I think I wait until I become a little better at calling the trades before I start to worry too much about this issue.I don't like sticking my neck out by posting.

In my case splitlink, not the case. One doesn't publicly highlight one's woeful inexperience on a daily basis to inflate one's ego.You are right. It's only ego, anyway.

My purpose is clearly stated in post #1 - to pick yours and other experienced traders' brains and hopefully get an assist with my trading skills development. An exercise which has already been incredibly personally worthwhile. Thanks to all for your time and efforts.

Great minds.Do you have a written trading plan? Have you backtested and forwardtested to see if it's profitable?
If the answer to any of the above is no, then are you trading with real money? If so, stop. There's no need to lose money.
If you have a plan and have demonstrated it works, how do your real results compare with your backtest and forwardtest results?
A whole bunch of invoices are winging their way to you as I type PB!You guys are brilliant. Thanks.
This thread is for traders to explain the basis for taking their trades, entry, in-trade management and exits. Please read post #1.The EUR/JPY is strengthening this morning.
The EUR is indeed waking up, registering a new high, and reversing its intraday bearish trade.
On the other side, the JPY is reversing its bullish trade, exiting from a consolidation pattern, and showing signs of weakness.
When we now look at the EUR /JPY chart, we see that the currency is also bullish, reversing its bearish trend.
Studying the currency separately helps us to understand which currency is the strongest and the weakest. We then look at the pair, so here the EUR /JPY, to find the best timing.
We like to buy now the EUR / JPY, with a very short stop loss at 133.46.
We would take our profit once a bullish acceleration will happen.
Please contact me if you want more details about the unique tools im using.

Have a good trade.
