yes, froze up, kicked me out and cant get back on........

I only trade dailies live at the moment but am demo'ing intraday. Yesterday in my demo account I took 100 points out of the Dax, with another trade up 80points at the moment and still open. Both trades were 1hr pinbars off weekly levels that I had previously marked on my charts. I also took...

Hello all I would be really grateful for some comments on TD’s post above and my response. Trade management is an area that I am really struggling with. My current approach is to move my stop to breakeven as soon as price hits my first marked up ppz. On the first close after price moves...

Hi Tom If you enter a trade and it makes it to your first pivot zone and then rejects this level do you 1) move your stop to BE at this point, 2) exit the trade immediately, or 3) leave the stop at it at it's original position? Regards Roy

Hi Tom Do you use the same exit strategy on your daily trades as well? Would any contra indication like a pin in the opposite direction to your position influence you to close your position early? Regards Roy

Thanks TD, this is very useful for me to think about. My consolation right now is that I am profitable and I still have a lot to learn. regards Roy

thanks TD, you have had a good start to the year! Case in point this morning - alot of J16'ers took the NZDJPY pin. I didnt like the look of this as the nose didnt protrude too far from the previous bar and it was a small bar in relation to those around it. Instead I preferred the EURNZD pin...

6-8 mths in I have got my account back into profit, trading dailies and weeklies only. this is a major milestone for me. I still keep finding myself in trades others don't take, and skipping trades that the majority do though and am logging my thoughts to see where i can improve my decision...

Grim, Have you been reading Elder on your travels by any chance ;) Whereabouts are you at the moment? Cold and wet here in London and so dreaming of sunnier climes

That's fantastic stuff, thanks Viktor. Do you have one for inside bars also? :)

You can change your own settings on IG Markets if you wish to - it's under Options/ set time zone and trading hours I just use their default settings for time zone and trading day

It's probably a timing difference forexbee, i was watching this also but on my charts (from IG Markets) the pin did not trigger either. check when your feed 'rolls' to the next day/ candle and this will probably explain any difference between your and TD's chart

Thanks TD I was also looking for a short but for different reasons. I have a BEOB from 10th and price now just broken below 150EMA on my chart. I had a short order just at the EMA150in the hope of a re-test but it hasnt triggered yet either

What was your set-up TD?

I have the same problem with many commodity charts on IG.
