D, I Finally got on the big screen, being a mad week for me outside the charts, apologies for not getting back sooner. Anyhow, back to it - your screen shots make a compellingly gooood argument - I'll try to address some stuff. My stop was well under the MA you are right, I'm generally...

confirmed!

Hey D, Thanks for the time, you make a lot of sense, I need to sit down on the laptop (on my phone at the mo...) And study these, but really appreciate the time, I'll have a study when I can have a proper look - hopefully before monday! Happy Saturday :)

Cheers for sorting out the charts there, it's being an hectic few days so I'm doing this on the hop, but you see what I was talking about with my psychology of managing trades, I should have moved to break even and I'd have stayed in, Andy talks about adding to winners so my next order wads...

Hey D, Thanks for the reply :) Yep CC's original set up, with orders 4hr/1hr 5mins, my biggest obstacles is the stop losses, I generally place these on the 1hr support/resistance lines. I'll look at 1d and weekly if not following that particular pair and a quick look at news events on FF...

Hiya, Here is the screenshot of the trade (below) - You'll see the green lines are the order / filled and the red line is the S/L The blue box to the right of the S/L is the next order to fill that is still running - and the grey cross hairs are just my cursor pos when i shot the screen...

Okay, Put i'll have to do it when i'm home - it may not be until later tonight or even tomorrow it's going to be a late one for me tonight... i'm interested - The UJ trade Closed during the Asian session for +35...

Good advice darktone, I manage them up, I'm on the usd/jpy at the mo, it got filled on Monday @12noon and dropped down to the hourly resistance, I was just below this it missed my stop (@101.133) by about 10pips today it recovered and I've locked in about 35pips and my stop is sitting just below...

Live trading is psychologically though, over the last 18 months in my demo account - starting at 20K i'm >50% up - i don't use stops... i've seen trades go 16k down and recover.. in my live account there is no way i could cope with a trade going 75% down, this is my biggest killer on my live...

I found the TP and SL's tough - still do, mainly I forget about R:R - I look at the 1 hour R/S lines for the stops and pop in my stops about 10pips outside these and the 4hr R/S lines for the TP and pop in about 5-10 under - although i'll adjust depending on daily / yearly Resistance and Support...

Hey all, I know this thread is dead - let it rest and all. But I thought i'd close it properly, the London open breakout broke even over time, so getting outta of bed at 7am everyday didn't seem worth it, I know there are practitioners of the open break, but for me it just wasn't working...

Back on it this week, solely 3 ducks, took a nice profit of GU on Wednesday and then the EU took it back onthe ccollapse at around 15:30, but took it back and some today on the AU and GU :) it's a nice system so long as you identify your support and resistance lines and keep your r:r in check...

Agreed Benj, Finding this lastnight i ran a couple of quieries on my tracking sheets and had I just used CC's / Swing I'd be in profit and if i'd have used the swing / CC's ways from the start i'd be in pretty good profit. One thing i find tough is the Psy with swings. I went in long on the GBP...

Haha! I see this thread stated with one of my posts - yep the three ducks work for me - i have tried different ways, i can't / don't want to sit in front of my monitor all day - but if sitting in front of my monior all day can double my normal day rate inmy day job - hen i'd sit in front of...

Good Luck, your approach, MHO would be to stick with what you are used to, learning different markets or sectors while trading will increase your implicate risk. Personally i'd focus on the things i know and be strict. I guess you need to look at the connections between markets / sectors to...
