Thx LW.....
admittedly it's mostly been the same ol keep it simple strat for me....waiten for moves outside the range & then goin the other way....& when I'm bored b/c I can't seem to locate those moves, I try & find a decent trend & hang w/it for a few...maybe 20-30 is about my average.
As far as indi's go.....pretty much it's simply MACD & then fibs ta get me out....I'm almost embarrassed (in fact I am) to admit how simplisitc I trade.....but I've been demoing this way for approx 18 mos now & it really has yet to fail me when I try. As for timeframes....no more than the 15 min...usually lookin at the 1 & 5's & then the tick ta jump in. I try ta wait for at least all 3, the 1, 5 & 15 ta all align w/me. That's really pretty much it.
Tho the last few mos I have been gettin bored & losin my focus & in turn my results have gone in the crapper....just not tryin as hard as I should be....one reason of course is b/c it aint w/real money...which is what I was tellin the cAt the other day. Of course the fix for that is.....lay some money down somewhere...which is the plan...took fxcm to offer the $25 to get me goin...smart mrktg move on their behalf...even got me oudda my Oanda comfort zone too.
Anyhoot....the one prob I see w/it all is....FXCM on their micro side only allows 400-1 leverage. That's like sayin you can drag race down a small town Main Street :0
So I guess once they fund w/my "Hobo Bux" (is what I call'em) I'll have to finally break down & send'em a coupla hundred more ta back up the Hobo Bux....I'm bound to have an accident or 2 drag racin down Main St during the heart of rush hr ;)~
Busy day here....& sadly it looks like I'll have to finally be puttin down pooch #1 who we've had for over 8 yrs....our 1st as we call her.....took her in on Sat to do the deed & the Vet said "she doesn't seem to be knockin on the door quite yet"...of course she was havin a good day....& of course all day ystrdy & so far today the poor thing can't even walk now....we've been helpin her get up for awhile now & once on her way she's been doin OK.....now the last 24 she can't go 2 steps w/out fallen back down. So now I'm kinda PO'd @ the Vet b/c this is exactly what I didn't want to have happen.....she's been way too good of a family member to see here go thru all this frustration....barkin every 2 mins as she tells us she wants to get up...so I prop her up...she takes 2 steps & back down she goes. & now doin this for the better part of 24 hrs my back is killen me. Now I'm havin muscle spasms in my mid back from doin all this...albeit minor...but one of those where if ya move just slighlty in the wrong way....it'll be me who needs helpin up :0
& of course I didn't mail in my vote so I also gotta go vote after my school drop offs....& then figure out a time to go take Tasha back to the Vet...& the vet is approx 25 miles away....the only vet who wouldn't charge me an arm, leg & child to be able to be there to hold her while he admins the juice.
So I guess what I'm gettin at is that I may not be around all that much today....also not a good idea to be sitten in a chair while the back is in spasm mode. I'll try & return tho later on if anything just ta lurk & catch up here...maybe put up a quick post or 2 if I'm feelin alright.
In the meantime....here's what I did this AM....1 trade w/my usual goin against the grain & lookin for a lil retrace....which is short gbp/jpy @ 158.79....lookin for the usual 20-30.
& the other is goin w/the trend.....long turtle @ 99.46...a lil worried about this one as it's tryin ta break 2 week resistence here...if it does I'm good & may even be able to ride on his shell for a hundred +...but if I can nab another 20-30 that'll be fine by me.
OK....sorry for the ramble but I gotta make'em count today....no back & forth to the computer or sitten for any decent length of time....so pls don't be expectin any replies....+ every1 deserves a break from Worn every now & then.
Now go vote...unless it's for a rep or dem ;)~
