Zither: Sammy, I shall try out a new strategy based on demand and supply and also incorporates my favorite reversal and divergence strategy. We differ in the sense that I am an intra-day trader. Till I come up with something to share have a great trading week.
Yea, U most welcome onbord bro.

zinosleek: I wld like to know how u place ur trade based on daily candle. Do u use d highest price as resistance and d lowest as support
I would be glad to show you. pls email me sammybrainy/@/gmail/.com

straneur: You sound like a pro lol So Federal open market committe, ISM, MSCI, PMI etc are not majors? Okay o. but understand that whatever tf you trade economy impact it all

I am a fundamental trader to the core so research whatever I tell you. All the best!
I'm no pro(yet),never said i'm one.
Its clearly you are a fundamental trader, and I'm technical. What works for you wont work for me. You trade based on news impact, I trade based on traders reaction.

Would start posting my results from tomorow.

Happy pipping week ahead

@mr_nice_guy
lol, @least u'v started now
BusinessRe: My Open Forex Trade Journal by sammybrainy(op): 4:41pm On Jul 07, 2013
straneur: FOMC
PPI
All Central Bank Speech
CPI
ISM
MCSI
PMI
Jobless Claims
Housing Stats
Current accounts etc.

But you don't need to know all but as time goes on you will be able to use and interpret all.
I trade the daily timeframe chart, these news hv less impact on one candle, (I look @ only only one candle for d whole day). I only use lesser timeframes to time my entry. Its d major economic news lik d ones listed above which have major impact on d economy dat mattrs to me.
BusinessRe: My Open Forex Trade Journal by sammybrainy(op): 1:54pm On Jul 07, 2013
1. Business sentiment surveys
2. Consumer confidence surveys
3. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
4. Industrial production
5. Inflation (consumer price or producer
price)
6. Interest rate decision
7. Manufacturing sector surveys
8. Retail sales
9. Trade balance
10. Employment / Unemployment (Non-
Farm Payrolls)

These are d major news i look out for
BusinessRe: My Open Forex Trade Journal by sammybrainy(op): 1:48pm On Jul 07, 2013
straneur: That is the more reason you must follow the news day-trading is more suitable for technical traders but for me irrespective of your style of trading you need knowledge of both technical and fundamental analysis but few people succeed with one though.

On whatsapp yes but don't use it often, dump the phone in one corner
responding to economic news would surely distract me from my chart analysis.
Therefore i only look at the "few" major release and close the trade or set my sl at breakeven point,if there is a major reaction.
There are two types of traders Technical and Fundamental. I hv to be aware of d other but focus one.
BusinessRe: My Open Forex Trade Journal by sammybrainy(op): 12:44pm On Jul 07, 2013
@straneur
Well I dont daytrade,my trades could last for days,so i dont trade based on news release.
I mainly look at support and resistance lines on d daily and weekly chart.
Waiting for tonight to enter trades.
Will post it here

U on whatsapp?
BusinessRe: My Open Forex Trade Journal by sammybrainy(op): 9:28am On Jul 07, 2013
Zither: Sammy, you said your strategy borders on supply and demand analysis. I have also seen potential in it since it is supply and demand that moves the market. The fact is that building a strategy around it using technical analysis seems to be a different matter entirely. Do u have a strategy based on it? I am still on demo and am a reversal and divergence trader. I am currently working on a strategy that rhymes with my personality. I shall be contributing my discoveries and results and also sharing what I have learnt...profits and losses.

Nice thread.
Sincerly I've been strugling with that strategy, reason why i haven't been posting much. The only strategy that has made me consistent profit is S&R on d daily timeframe. Made over 200pips last week,so i gues I should stick with it. rather than switch. I'm also on Demo tasting d strategy but would prefer testing it wit a small live account. U r free post ur results here as well.

USDCAD 0.05066 LONG
EURAUD 1.43287 LONG
USDJPY 100.087 LONG
EURJPY 130.105 LONG

No predefined takeprofit, would rely on my exit signal. Stoploss ranges between 80-100pips.

Its going to be long ride.
BusinessRe: My Open Forex Trade Journal by sammybrainy(op): 11:45pm On Jul 03, 2013
sammybrainy: Just entered another trade.
EURAUD Going long
Entry 1.43062
SL 1.42480
TP 1.44049
RR 1:2

Lets see how it goes.
Closed at break-even point + 3pips.
I'll still keep the profit status as -100pips.

Dont expect much action from this thread, due to my strategy on high timeframe(4H&Daily)
My breakout and swing strategies gives less signals.

naira4ever: Sorry for that and hope you learned something from that.

Did you take the eur/usd sell last night on the daily tf? The pair closed bearish and totally engulfed previous day bar. It is in sell mode currently but the upcoming news from US data @ 1:15 & 1:30 today could be a catalyst to send the pair down to 1.2800 and below or higher on the other scenario.
No bro I didn't. I'll keep an eye on it. If I take the trade I'll post it here

[quote author=Mr_Nice_Guy]i like your mentality... many newbies will be trading with very high demo account size, and forgeting to learn the basics of money management, nice lot size also... i dont know how long you"ve been trading but i believe to should stop aiming that too high considering the fact that most of the pairs are consolidating...and your take profits should be within the range of at most 2weeks price highs.. so i was told...[/quote]Yea, I'v been on it for a year now, made some money, cashed out, got shaky and blew up my account due to me switching strategies, stoped for a while. And now I'm back and better, but still learning though.

I guese my take profit is that high because of the timeframe and strategy i'm using, H4 and Daily. Money management is a must,theres an online calculator which i use for that.
