Long GBPUSD from 2.0275 or better = Sup. (latter peak of yesterday)
Stop-Loss = 2.0225 = bottom of support. (bottom of range of yesterday)

Profit Target = 2.0375 (100 pips) or unless I modify as day progresses. :eek:

Hope it did...price was at 75/77 for a full 4 mins....Two scources

hopefully it did CV, im sure you mean the 15:00 BST (14 GMT) low. i got it at 85. ant thats the lowest low after 9.30 BST when orders were set.

edit: 3 sources......lowest low 83, highest 85
 
when EK1 posted the "orders placed", it was at 9:34am.
I think the optimal entry was missed, and price had moved on by then.
 
is it only two trades per day?

my understanding is that we all post our trades in the morning, and a random entry is selected for the day.

repeat again for each new day.
(so, you have to post your trade before 9:30am or so for it to be in the pot)
 
LOL....KIN hard work this is......there just has to be a better way :rolleyes:

Your right it almost certainly was'nt a trade...ah well !

i initially thought the trade was good because i looked at the time you made the post trendie. before 9:30 is definately restrictive - i wonder if its possible to set up a link to a IM type chat window for real time entries?
 
Well guys here's the lowdown.

USD/CAD trade filled at 14.23 sell 1 @ 1.0645
Stopped out at 15.38 @ 1.0685 (ouch!) by a whisper it looks on the chart :eek:

Trendie's trade didn't get filled and it turned out to be a great winner, thanks Trendie.

There has got to be a better way to do this as you suggest guys. We set the trades up at about 9.30am and then essentially leave it, which doesn't seem to be working.
Any suggestions on how we can do it better would be welcomed. I can be IM'd at certain times if that would be better?
