Your way better then me.. I couldn't even get a trade to 60 pips if I wanted to.. 10 pips I'm out

Those numbers sound familiar I tested a trade in my demo account a few days ago and was down over 200 pips.. learned a great lesson keep scalping

How many pips are you down??

Now you are talking my language I'm loving the quick trades.. ill leave the stock market for my swing trades and enjoy scalpers paradise over here haha!

Good trading!

Very nice I'm only up 10 pips for the day haha

Very nice trading.. do u ever do full lots?

Congrats my friend I may need to go to one of these meetings. Because you have showed me the light and I love scalping.... maybe when I start losing ill switch it up! 244 pips on a full lot is about 2 weeks of scalping

I thought you sat out yesterday or did you end up trading?

Are you going to do one long trade?

Very nice do we have a new simplegreen coming?

I totally agree with you sherri the chart tells the story(unless news is about to come out)... I'm a low pip player I have an automatic take profit of 10 pips set.. any trade I enter I walk away and let the computer handle my exit.. now last night since the overall trend was down I attempted to get 20 pips and I got nervous going outside of my comfy zone so I manually sold for 11 pips..


They say slow and stead wins the race I will in fact test if this is true.. I am for 3 trades a day at 10 pips each, with whatever unit size I am using at the time!

But at least your +50 pips, are you playing full lots?

best of luck my friend. I will try to get some more pips tonight I am off to the real job now

you should be close to your 10 pips my friend

very nice i wish you the best of luck.. hopefully it drops nice before i go to work so i can go long haha

very nice.. Since its the 1 hour chart are you looking for more then 10 pips?

I only play the 5 min chart cuz I like that chart personally!

thanks my friend.. I like to strike quick get in and out! Like simple green told me, why watch your pips disappear.. And no one can say I'm being greedy haha!!

Oh yeh if i can trade with hindsight i would have went long last night for about 100 pips haha.. But I'm loving the base hits, get me 20-30 pips a day and just increase my lots as my money increases.. If i ever get above 10 lots ill aim for 5 pips a trade

out with 10 pips before i could even make a bowl of cereal

only haha 80 pips is very nice congrats

congrats.. how many pips did you make on the EU?

Long E/U at 1.38796 looking for a quick 10 pips profit

what do you mean "after the event" after news? or do you mean like in hindsight?

I think we all have made this same mistake.. Last night i put in a short for 20 pips. Around I was up 19 pips and it didn't hit my 20.. So i got out of my bed and triggered a sell myself, because I do not like to sleep with an open trade in forex. I jsut checked this morning and 2 candles later my 20 pips came haha

Oh well +11 is better then 0 or - anything!!


But the e.u took off very hard! next time set your stop and let it ride

Thanks Omar I am just trading the system to gave me strictly by the rules.. Not jumping in early.. I changed my stop loss to a mental 20 pips, but haven't had to exit a trade just yet.


I actually got another 11 pips last night before bed


The trend signal is nice, but kind of delayed I am usually already in the trade when it signals.. Maybe I will find a way to get in after


I am watching the E.U right now for a possible long entry!

Just trading my system.. I just don't try to hit the homerun.. the base hit works perfectly fine for me!

my live account is up 25% in 8 days.. so im def getting my 1% a day

Oh you just give them a call... So you try to make 100+ pips per trade!!

what's your exit target?

the day was great for me grabbed 34.4 pips thus far.. No complaints here!

I was long and took my 10 pips now I will attempt to go short for 20 pips..

You hold for the longer term trend so you should be great to go

Looking to go short on the E/U in a few

would u ever hold a real trade this long?

Just went long on

EUR/USD

@ 1.3759

out

@ 1.3769

10 pips in 3 minutes.. Now I wait for the short signal



edit 34.4 pips for the day thus far

You and me both omar first 14.4 was easy.. but the other 10 had me nervous.. I shouldn't have taken that trade even tho I won I rushed it.. next time I may not be as luck

Haha steak it is sir..


But why not multi task and get an alert when the first candle breaches the top or bottom line..... then go make a trade and continue cookin.. haha

Thanks. I just want to be able to trade and cook dinner at the sametime haha... an audbile alert would be so awesome for that use... ill still trade manually

Thanks

One thing I've learned in life is that every person is different..


My system has been working great, can it go wrong hell yeh.. but until it goes I will contiune using it..

Simplegreen broke it down to me in a way I understand and taking 10 pips has my live account growing very nice.. 10% last week

I use the cci and candles.. I wait for 2 candles to form in the direction I want to trade(omar taught me the 2 candle technique so he gets the credit for that)


Cci -100 cross up go long... cci 100 cross down go short...


FYI I only aim for 10 pips per trade so my style may not work for you guys!

I know your not asking me.. but I play the 5min time frame but watch higher time frames to check what they are doing... the 4h trend is a good one to watch(helps determine how fast or slow to get out of the trade)

My last 11 trades have been winners, averaging 10 pips per.. 20 pip stop loss with the 5min chart
