clems88: lol. Yesterday after I entered a trade it started dipping. I had to close on loss, immediately I closed on loss market reverse. I wan cry. Is like those brokers dey monitor and manipulate the market
If it’s on the D1, that’s deep discount. The futures contract have that gap up too and I’m anticipating it to be closed within this week.
charly20: That gap at $5.00 is where I'm waiting at.
Closing this before the closing bell, though It’s still in profit and SL above entry.

abham: Took a trade on AU which was a buy retracement and SL tagged On Tuesday -$500. 2.5 lot with a 20 pip SL I should have joined the bullish train but I was too lazy and sleep dey me eye.
Entered a trade on Natural gas buy today. At this post, it has moved 9 points with 0.2 lot. Entry: 7.466 SL: 7.388 Tp: 8.533.
I might close and take partials before tp hits and yesterday was bank holiday in the US that is why it was slow.

Galleryeasy: Hey guys , hop we are killing it on the low? Volatility is fading away. I'm kinda confused, took a Sell trade on EU last night and I was expecting my swap fees to be around -$60 on both Brookers but I noticed that MFF Brooker didn't deduct the fees rather they added $68 to my profit while TFT deducted the swap fees.. what could be the reason.
MONEY247: Trade closed 30 pips profit... We wait for another opportunity...
I know say 200 ngn nor fit do anything for anybody.....but I Sha closed in profits... If say nah dolls now....e for make sense..... But nah demo Sha..... just being busy...
I once again missed sweet trade on usdjpy..... Painful....... We wait for another opportunity......
This kind situation na emotional damage. In cases like these, the market would be running to something or to manipulate people before going it’s true direction na why e go to look at HTF levels.
realone12: what about those kind of news reaction of which the market goes very very deep on one direction and immediately take the opposite direction all within few minutes? how do you cope with such kind of market reaction during news hours trading high leverage?
if the price takes the opposite direction before going toward ur intended direction, won't you May have received a margin call before the price goes to your intended direction?
or what if the price takes your intended direction only to reverse back within a few minutes. won't that result to margin call as par sey na very high leverage you dey use.
True sha, we learn everyday. In reading COT report you follow the commercials report in line with other factors which may make things complex. But in a nut shell na Commercials dey give market price so it’s best to follow them. If their figure keeps increasing in a current trend just continue with them but once the figure has a negative value in a trend, that signifies a trend reversal.
You can check that with the Dxy on cot report, was -25k so commercials were short on Dxy and cpi was just a catalyst to push price lower on barchart.
Hopefully you can check back on previous data though it’s not always black and white as you must blend it with PA.
Borntosmoke: Im not a perfect trader. We cant see the samething. I follow someone that have 7yrs experience in the market with a solid track record. I'm not right on 5 trades dosent mean I'm wrong in my analysis.
So long you butter their bread but the other gender go need affection, in that case you go need create time for her.
Galleryeasy: My Fiancee is even complain to my mom, is this what she signing for Is either glue to screen (Trading/Backtesting) or watching soccer. I can't even remember the last time I play with ma sis, but I can vouch that they lack nothing since i moved to prop.
You gats be a loner when you dey learn this forex. I barely go out recently except for essentials or when I’m exhausted with learning or the markets are moving mad.
Hopefully we all meet our goal.
Galleryeasy: You are one of the traders I admire so much in this forum, I might not know your age but have shown high level of decorum here.
Pulling 400% in space of 11 month is crazy man, I guess you are still undergraduate with enough time by yourside, take it slow to learn and unlearn. You know the saying " Forex is the hardest way to make easy money" I wish I knew Currency trading when I was in my 20+. I started late bro, let me say 30 . I had it rough,lost sleep, friends and relationships trying to understand this game, became a loner. Only this yr I have made more than 60% on prop,the plan was to hit 100% before November,no biggie I'm still happy with myself. Next yr I'm going crazy on E8 & FTMO
My little advice is for u to shift from that swing trading to intraday if u have interest of going for prop firms. Keep grinding!
Are you familiar with inter market analysis, if yes you can look out cbr index and gold correlation though I see you’re more on the fundamental part.
GabsonFX: I added 3 more positions at different levels with different lots (martingale) but only sell, sell, sell, though sell call is already invalid but ehh, I have made good profits from this, I even had to add more funds so I could have enough room for this. Now, I have closed lot of +ve trades here, then added more and more at different levels and have made good profits. thanks to martingale.
I don't martingale, except when prices goes opposite my order with sharp moves while my current order is still valid, then I go martingale in order to scale and scale until i make profits from the retracements of the sharp move, which is what I have been doing since yesterday that gold has been unstable.
Last two weeks have been tough on gold, just ranging within a band, this is a no no for swingers, however, I managed to make profits from these. From Monday, a buy go sure and that could mark the start of 800pips for swing traders.
