As you can see, I do nothing fancy.
I do not have any indicators - just simple support/resistance, HH/HLs, LL/LHs.
I want to trade both sides of the market, and I do.
Another example of a T1 - Trend Continuation.
This is a trend continuation on the H1, you might not see it as a such, but I do have strict criteria on how I define my setups. If you look on H1, we have LL/LHs forming.
Gold +2.09R
Reason for trade:
- We have been trending up a very long time...
For those interested in how I trade, I will share a glimpse, because it is rather straight forward.
T3 - Outright Reversal trade
GBPJPY +1.18R
Reasons for the trade:
- coming into previous resistance
- hovering around a zero level - 189
As you can see my TP was previous intraday area which...
Funded Accounts - $200k
Now I am funded, I am trading 0.50% per trade, on some instruments its a little different due to certain account limitations.
So how was my trading once I got my accounts?
Well I was just trading as usual and I had the worst 2 weeks of trading.
First week, my first 4...
Hello all,
I managed to pass my second Phase 2 account on the 6th January - was a very nice start to the year.
So I have now been funded with $200k, it took the prop firm an absolute age to give me my 2nd account, I don't know whether it was the holidays backlog but it took a good while like...
After my review I realised one thing that the stats were missing...I was relying on the single challenge account too much, causing me quite a bit of anxiousness on the result of a single trade. I was either missing setups because I was watching too many pairs, or I simple simply couldn't take a...
Update time.
So since my last post, I was feeling good - deservedly so! (I call myself out when I am not doing well, so equally I will praise myself when I do).
I was completely disciplined.
Knew my stats.
Knew my slight adjustments for certain setups.
Folks, the whole idea here is to MAKE...
I am very glad I traded with active management on the side. It has taught me a lot more about myself and what works and what doesn't in a much quicker way than passive trading would have. As you can see from my Running R graph, I had a real hard time for a few weeks where it was just a...
So I have alluded to 'another project' earlier a little, well the project I thought I would undertake was to do 2 projects at once to get a greater sample size data.
- Project 1 - passive management, with 1:2 RR targets, no management.
- Project 2 - active management, having exactly the same...

I have been running a project in the background alongside this forward testing sample, and this had taken majority of my time. I will explain this below in more detail, however this meant I basically did not trade this account for approximately a month.

"The markets are moving in a 4 Dimensional time and Price movement, which is why everything is distorted on our 2 dimensional price charts - so we are always at a disadvantage".
I am not sure I agree, what do you mean by the 4 dimensions?
The disadvantage is if you possibly think you can...
