Scalp on my radar right now. Long Australia-Canadian Dollar (AudCad) and short Canadian-SwissFranc (CadChf)
Most of the pairs I saw on Friday that I thought I would make a killing on today move right away without entry signal.

Hoping for a re-entry on EurGbp.

if i may ask, how how many pips is the stop loss use on the average
20pips hard / emergency stop loss. I would rather just cut the trade if and when i notice its not going to work out instead of letting it go all the way to -20pips. That is, talking about my scalping trades.

This week scalp trades. Waiting for earlier mentioned pairs to give me entry set up.

I've got some 4hours to trade today, not bad compare to 1-2 hours all week.
On my radar today. Looking to long UsdCad (with little risk involve) and AudCad (with little less risk). Short CadChf with almost no risk and AudJpy.

Was hot before , some good winning streak.


Ps: Band is not important. I look at price (Before Anything), it's when I see something interesting and where price at before I even look at the band. No trading band blindly.

Looking at AU and NU for short scalp. I've got only 1hour to babysit any possible entry.
Very busy week, little to no time to trade. Need to get some Immigration Paperwork sorted out.
Hopefully have little more time on Friday to make some coins.

Just opened trade-station. Some missed opportunities.
NU trade was no brainer, woulda been solid and easy money.

Good read from Dongsky ;

I started trading and i didn't have any clue at all of what i was into. I signed up for a live account (5k regular acct at fxcm) after a sales person from fxcm made a lot of very promising sales pitch about forex. I remember him saying " having an investment of $3,500 (regular account) you can double your equity in no time" until now i don't have a clue what he meant by that. I opened an account thinking i will become rich in a quicker manner but to my dismay several days later, the market had skinned me alive.

I funded my account several times and until i realized my lifetime saving was now bleeding and said to myself something must have to be done, and as soon as possible. I was sitting infront of my screen after a long afternoon of business accounts consolidations (my own business - small cafe) i was reading few threads from FF and stumbled to fti's thread, TFA and i was really stuck to his thread. I was so interested and read the thread through (4 full days) and re-read again.

I've learned from him how to follow and read the market, feel the pulse and react quickly to whatever she (the market) gives. I really enjoyed experimenting fti's rescue tactics but i preffered cutting losses and running profits than rescuing my troops for i never really had a high success rate by doing so. until now i'm still doing 112 & 113 attack sequence as fti's teaching, I preffer to stick on attacks than rescuing.


And then i came accross the thread of feb's trading with irony and again captures my interest. as i was reading his thread, again there's something in me that boiling deep inside trying to blow my brains off. just like fti he too trade basically using pure price actions, but he's got some methodology and clear cut rules.

Now i have their methodology combined fti's art of war and feb's V's formation, AWESOME!

November last year, was the month i say the golden month and the turning or say reversal moment of my trading career heheheeh. since then, i managed to recover all my losses from day one and managed to secure some pips profit

BusinessRe: Learn Forex Trading (absolutely Free) by redsox11(op): 9:46am On Jun 05, 2019
When to take the attackers out again?

Please draw a 60 minute SMA on your chart (on M5 it is a SMA(12)). As long as PA does not break that line, let them in. (well - I know that is very rigid, but that are the training wheels for now)

Of course you can take them out, whenever you feel that the momentum is decreasing significantly or PA is facing any resistance or support area. But the goal of this exercise is to let your troops ride along the trend. You should try to memorize the feeling of letting your troops ride, so that you can recall it, whenever you attack again. As long as you don't see any reversal pattern on M15 chart, let them run.

Any successful attack will be stored into your memory/subconscious. You are gathering confidence this way.

After you have done so for some weeks with good success, expand your attack scenarios to 5 levels (still 1(scout),1,1,1,1). Now add L2 and L3 very fast when PA shows increasing momentum. Take only L3 out, when M5 move is fading out. When move is going to continue add L3 and L4 very fast. Take L4 out, when signs of M5 weakness are showing up. And so on ...
... till you see any hint for a reversal on M15. If so reduce your exposure immediately. Means you can vary between taking all troops out or only last attack level depending on the strength of the reversal pattern you have spotted ...

Hmm - lot of text. Hope I could make the basic idea clear to you.
I can not believe that you don't see/feel, when there is an opportunity to add troops. From my experience most often we are hesitating to add, because of fear to increase our exposure ...

Niels.
Blue SMA is 4 hour trend
Orange SMA is hourly trend

Good read from Mamood.

On the first glance it may not look like a fear related problem, but what else could be the reason not to throw in some troops, when price is moving in a strong trend? Even if you have a very bad timing, as long as you are attacking in the direction of the trend it will bail you out without any further action of you.

Well - assuming we are talking about fear or about a lack of self-confidence now, we should try to gather some confidence. So we are not talking about maximizing your profits at this stage of training, but only about getting a feel for the market while gathering some experiences with throwing in some more troops. Based on that, I would recommend a very defensive skew, like
L1 (scout),
L2:1,
L3:1.

So you have already 2 attack levels to deal with.
Now let us draw a worst case scenario at first:
When you face the very unlikely scenario, that immediately after you have deployed L3 troops PA will reverse with a 30 pip move in just a second, it will cost you "only" 0.3lots * $10 * 30pips = $90 (based on 0.1lot minimum position size).
So you should assign this ~$100 as fee for your attack training sessions
and forget about it ;-)

Yeah - hardest work in trading is to get your subconscious on track (all the scorpions). So it is very helpful to use such primitive crutches, to make it feel ok for our brains ...

Ok next step now: When to enter your attack troops?
There are several indications for possibilities to add to your troops:

1. Momentum is increasing
2. after a short term retracement of the last impulse move, when PA starts moving in trend direction again
3. A resistance or support area has been broken in trend direction.
4. A resistance or support was tested but not broken, when you see a pullback or small retracement against impulse move.

I would recommend to add L2 troops, when you feel one of the above is going to happen/has happened.

meshpips:
Not at all.
Okay. I thought you was using a method I recognize. The METHOD of having no method (be nimble and not rigid, following and dancing with the price).


femora007:
With this your short term trading.
I think when you’re able to stop bleeding and start making 2% — 30% consistently every month, then you’ve crossed the first hurdle. A lot of people stop here and keep making the consistent profit. Why stop there when you can keep learning and improving.

I believe as a “profitable” trader you need minimum of 2 accounts. One with your stable consistent % return, something not outrageous and achievable.

The 2nd account to push your limit, train yourself and breakout of your trading level to next level.


Case study, a guy turned real account, $2000 into $200,000 in under 6 months. If he didn’t try and set his mind to it, HE WOULDN’T ACHIEVE this turnover to start with.

How would you know you can do it if you don’t even try. ( Don’t forget, try only with amount you can afford to lose. )

Another case study, Teemy posted the contest winner with over 2000% of account balance in just 2 weeks. I couldn’t that, even in my dreams that I’m allowed to bend to my favour sometimes. So I’m not remotely close to that level.

Check out forexsaint on FF , he usually turn 80$ —100$ into 10,000$ , he has done this more than 7 times that I know of.

Everything I said above is for profitable traders to try out, NOT NEW TRADERS. New traders need to learn to be profitable first before dreaming about pushing the limit.

It seems you're cooking something interesting here. I particularly like the add on, it's the professional way of trading. I and my friends, call it dancing with the price. Something I need to learn and work on. Especially attacking sequence.

Pls sorry for my question; Can Forex be taken as a full time job and foot ones bill. If Yes..... Please can you or any one tutor me.... I am ready to go any length.. Pleeeaaasee
Yes but not easy.

Do you know, 95% of posters on this thread are not profitable traders? Yes, don't believe everything you see online hook line and sinker. Not being profitable is not a bad thing though but you've to work smart, not just hard. A lot of the profitable ones rarely post here anymore.

I wasted a lot of years learning ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH and trash, some I'm still try to unlearn. The fastest way to becoming a profitable trader is not going to youtube or some forex forum, it's finding someone that is profitable, that is willing to help you, to help you shorten your learning curve.

Going to youtube and forum will make you go through wasted years like so many of us did, and a lot of us are still not profitable till tomorrow shocked grin.

I think you should go stalk;
@JerryQ
@currentprice
@Shevchenko2
@infofirst
@femora007

Especially someone like JerryQ, if you can get him to dedicate his time and teach you, I tell you, you would've shorten your learning curve by 5-7 years. The problem is, they've got no incentive to teach you, so i don't know how you will go about it.

If and when I'm ready personally, I can get someone profitable within a year, if they put in the work. As you wouldn't have to learn rubbish and waste years to get the right info.

Ps: Please , I'm not asking you to go give anyone on here your money.

The short answer is yes. MaryJames9 is right 99% to me.

maryjames9:
Forex can be taken as a full time job but hold on a minute. Forex is not as easy as that. This may take you years like 1 to 5 or even 15 years. Being profitable consistently in forex is achievable with consistent and persistent learning, demoing and trading

Keep learning. Many YouTube videos, materials, offline and online live sessions and all sorts of information online which eventually helps you build a strategy that is suitable and tailored to your personality. Get a real job that pays and make you money while you learn forex .
Make sure you keep your day job, find way to combine it with trading , so you don't have extra pressure.
