market is consolidating ..nothing really breaking since 7am bar cracked open.......
will go for brekkie soon if it stays quiet like this
where am I on all those nasty question is last post ?
what currency is strongest at moment ? - NZD actually (??)
what currency is sitting at a Support / Resistance level ? - nothing major flashing
what currency is weakest ? - mr GBP
where are the best correlation patterns forming to predict trades ? - pretty messy at moment
so what does that tell me ...........well it tells me not to put out much cash at moment .....save it for better conditions ......which in scalping terms could be offered in next 3-5 mins ....who knows !!

my last post this morning was about TIMING ...the most important aspect in trading
Why ?
because actually most traders after some practice / guidance / mentoring are generally pretty good at seeing what direction ANY market is going .......and also if its ranging
so if we were to say
don't trade ranging markets for beginners ...focus on trending markets ......
once we have decided a market is trending ...........
its all about timing the entry - right ??
Right ??
ok...........simple ..........time the entry NVP ........that's simple
NO ITS NOT ..........ITS HARD !!!!
you basically have to wait for a retrace and then trade the bounce ........80% 0f my trades are bounces .......I don't like chasing fast moves into a new trend .............and I am not going to gamble on a move already well into maturity
if I do run some stuff next year this is where I will focus a lot of the discussions and training ........a lot of sellinars and vendors gloss over this area because they are scared people will want there money back .....its the real crux to making money ......
TIMING
so I said NZD was a buy and GBP was a sell in the comments above .......well heres the last few minutes on those currencies against the classic currency usd ...............there are pips there arnt there ........i'm my clever boy right ?
WRONG
you still had to get the timing right if you were only risking 5 pip Stops
so welcome to trading .................
