My personal favourite, Inverted Hammer & Hanging man.

If you see one at the right spot on 1 hour, 4 hours or daily chart , just enter with very tight SL, 5-12 pips and ride your profit ( minimum +60 pips target, I usually like it for more )

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 8:09pm On Jul 22, 2017
GJ -13 pips

Looks a lot like sell after the fact . Well hindsight is 20/20 smiley


Ps: Feel like opening a thread, where I could rant and document my trades, more like journal. Somewhere I could put all my crazy ideas together, the good and bad. Post live trades and all.

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 8:06pm On Jul 22, 2017
Mod just lifted my ban. Past week charts.
Closed part of my EN buy for +105 pips

DO you mean you set up a live trading account, and put fund in it BUT you don't know how to trade? hope the answer the is NO.
You're suppose to study , set up a demo account first.
You have to crawl -> walk -> jump before you fly.

I don't even know where to start... You should set up a demo account and take it from there.
Was banned 'coz of this post, how does that work?

You'll should have a great trading week.

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 11:31am On Jul 17, 2017
Set to Breakeven, both @ 120+ right now. I'll cut 1 soon and just leave the remaining for more pips.
Also in GCAD trade.

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 11:23am On Jul 17, 2017
My 2 cents. If I do business with you and you supply me an account number to transfer money into. OF COURSE, I'll hold you responsible if anything happens to my money, knowing that I sent the money to the account you gave me and the funds got into the account.

I don't care of it's your partner or you that squander the money. You're fully responsible too.

That being said, hope you guys come to peaceful agreement and have everything resolved.
BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 8:29am On Jul 17, 2017
Will set to Breakeven as soon as I can.

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 7:39am On Jul 17, 2017
Fast one... EURNZD, free trade now.

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 4:02pm On Jul 14, 2017
Couldn't resist... I'm shutting down my platform now. Enough for the week. Free trade.

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 3:07pm On Jul 14, 2017
Temptation... feeling like shorting EU again with tight SL (10 pips) , maybe I should just let it go.
BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 2:48pm On Jul 14, 2017
GJ and GCAD

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 2:44pm On Jul 14, 2017
Done for the week. Missed CJ and UJ, not really, my sell limit was 5-8 pips away before the drop.


EU -10 pips , I dunno what I was thinking sad
GJ -12pips plus spread, this I could relate.

EJ + 45 but I’m going to hold it, set to breakeven already.

GU +80 pips
GCad + 25 pips … Sloppy entry , so I cut and won’t hold.

@ redsox11,,, i entered new position (blue arrow)and am holding it to my target unless mkt pullback breached levels of no returns, trading any mkt required degree of patience. once you understand what you are donig you will fly grin

time to make my weekly withdrawer by noon,,, man need wages to enjoy weekend grin grin grin
I like you Blue arrow entry more. Overall great call, as both are well in profit now.
BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 9:03pm On Jul 13, 2017
Sneaked one in, doesn't look great, so SL at breakeven.

Achimaechi:
pls, l need a little clearification on this question.

1, if my broker is offering me 3.5 or 2.5, as spread how many pips do l need to profit?

2, is 1pip equals to 1dollar?
Why not set up a demo and open your terminal and check it in real time.
1 pip is not always 1$... It depends on your lot size / the currency pair.


Pipsbasketings:
Oh, lest I forget, GAUD currently yielding 210.0pips but still on the road to about 400.0. Likewise EA, GJ and GN all doing fine bringing the total basket pips up to 305.0 pips.
I would upload pix when I'm on PC.
That's a lot of pips right there. You should leave some pips on the table for the rest of us smiley

Price action my friend , the only loss you have will be in break even.

Combine prettyboey strategy, use support and resistance/ trend lines and follow trend on larger timeframe, i.e take breakouts in the direction of the trend and trade without fear.
Then you got me grin

You know , this is too vague and generic for me to handle and other new traders, you have to come down to our level lol. I'm sure prettyboey have been around the block and knows what to look for when drawing all those trend lines and resistance.

Few years ago, I used to have someone tell me, look for your entries here; WHERE THE FOX BRINGS BULLS/BEARS TOGETHER FOR THE SLAUGHTER -----> Support/Resistance zones, ------> Pivot points, -----> Fibonacci retracements, --------> Round numbers,....& so on

Do you think new comers will understand the above smiley

You're right though, FX is not really about seeing a b c and going buy or sell right away. New comers will need a lot of screen time and if lucky, have a profitable mentor to walk them through it / spoon feed them.

I will start lecturing and doing webinars when my Status level on Neteller is GOLD.... $100k n above.
For now let's hustle and pray God keeps us alive
Does that mean we have to wait for you to be rich before we can too. Just kidding.

Pipsbasketings:
Same here bro, GAUD giving about 165.0 pips, still riding it possibly till about 400.0pips
That's why I love stacking 'em when I can, that way I can cut of few legs in profit and let the rest run.
I'm going to find another low risk entry to join the party. I have few other trades I'm holding well in 100s +ve

If I may, how do you handle your greed? If my entry is too low risk (very small lot size ), it just don't feels right. I like being on my toes, so I'm somewhat greedy, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 11:01pm On Jul 12, 2017
GAUD 100+ humbling me with 2 losses during London session I believe.

i have decided to change my broker to PEPERSTONE any advices?
I think they are one of the best brokers out there. I use GlobalPrime and Pepperstone. You shouldn't take my word for it, you should research it and see it's good for you.

I recently triggered this trade.

EA is always my fav.
I was going to say good luck, but I realise you make your own luck, with preparation meeting opportunity.
Quick question if you don't mind, how do you determine you TP?


meshpips:
I expect a sell off to 146.28 after which the bulls will have a last chance to take charge again.
I’ve missed you posting charts. You should if and when you are less busy.



wickyyolo:
my GU buy took off like a rocket. grin

let's get this money like Gotti
How did you pull that off, that was a terrific buy, looks tricky, so I remove it from my market watch list.
You have to teach me how you do that sometimes.



currentprice:
if you wish to gain from my impatient entry join crude now. i am still on the red side but still believing on the position as am considering adding new position to average up

grin grin grin grin

remember price is not meant to move on a straight line grin
Did you enter again, I mean add new position? never really looked at Crude or Gold if at all. You have to know what you are doing to trade those right?? I'll be watching and learning from side line.
BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11:
My earlier GCAD entry... What you can do with a tight SL.
GCAD 100+ pips, took me out before the extra drop.

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 6:50pm On Jul 12, 2017
EURCAD , thanks to the CAD announcement. I'll move my SL to protect some profit.
I got stopped out on the other pair, moved SL to protect profit too soon.

Closed some other trades too, will post chart later.

Hourly and 15mins chart on EC that's some 300 pips just in one day drop.
To think I have a USDCAD that I held on to for more than a week for just 300pips some weeks back, phew.


Ps: That's why I like open Target, as market can fly off and you'll have the opportunity to bank more pips.

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 6:22pm On Jul 12, 2017
I think we can all help each other to be a better trader and better person.

Ultimately, the market is the boss, we are just smaller players (retail traders).

No need fighting, we are all here to help each other. If I see something I like from someone, I'd ask, if the person is down to help, why not. I understand some are not going to help or they simply don't have the time to teach others, and that's okay too.

At the end of the day, there is always room for improvement.
BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 2:44pm On Jul 12, 2017
Update... GCAD to breakeven, I'm going to let market decide my faith. No entry till tomorrow.

BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 2:39pm On Jul 12, 2017
Took some hit, I'm trying to create another leg in the market but got stopped out.
I'm going to set my GC to Breakeven as soon as I can. As Cad announcement is around the corner.

I made a rough, very rough estimation (may be), but it is true that SL rarely gets hit. I close a trade when a reversal occurs which doesn't necessarily have to occur after a SL is hit,

Hope you grab, not complicated
I understand you perfectly . Was actually complimenting you and not being cynical really. You've been very consistent and that's say a lot.
I actually love the freedom that large SL gives you as you can not always be on the computer.


Pipsbasketings:
GNZD readded with 8.0 spread.
That's a lot, spread. For the life of me, I could never trade GNZD profitably. I envy you.

prettyboey:
Update on USDCHF
I love your trendlines. Especially when I'm confused, I just go to 4hrs and draw a damn trendline to help with perspective.
BusinessRe: Forex Trade Alerts Season 17 by redsox11: 9:21pm On Jul 11, 2017
Pipsbasketings:
Good idea but the idea is that my SL rarely gets it may be about 1/10 and this is due to the lesson I posted up there.

When SL is hit, I relax for the pair and wait for the radical candle to close, check again if its close value validates another entry signal, enter again and set another stop loss but now at a different SL based on the high or low of the radical candle. If you enter again just immediately after your SL is taken, who knows if it may continue in that opposite direction, this is why the best bet is just to chill for the candle to completely settle by its closure, then check again.

Cheers
"SL rarely gets it may be about 1/10" That's definitely far from anything close to regular. You're right about not re-entering and waiting for market to settle.
