:)......big enough to make me happy.......the important thing is to be on the right side of the market and it shows Elliott (as this is what I use mostly) still has a thing of two in trading....:)....let's see what October brings......

 

a short forecasting if allowed:

 

eurusd to break previous 1.31710 highs

gbpusd to reach at least 1.6430 level

eurcad to move above 1.40 in a big way and target 1.48

 

:)........let's see what market makes out of those above in October;);)

Your last two months (since I started visiting TL again anyhow) have been superb by anyone's pip standards I am sure. Results wise, I always find looking at raw pip values doesn't really say that much in terms of ones trading approach or their ability to manage to risk within an approach. Would you consider future summaries to be posted as an R multiple?

 

With kind regards,

MK

hi there,

 

I'm not quite sure I understand the question here......you talk about rr ratio or?

Essentially, yes.

 

You risk 100p and make 80p the R multiple is 0.8

risk 100p and make 160p, the R multiple is 1.6

 

Puts ones results in perspective relative to their risk.

 

With kind regards,

MK

I agree with you there but there's a catch...I never enter a trade without having a positive rr ratio, but currency markets are volatile and depending on what is happening (for example now with the Italian government, etc), I may decide to exit trades earlier than expected....and so the rr ratio is compromised....is that wrong?

No not wrong at all because there is no right :)

 

You seem to have a high win rate and usually that goes hand in hand with a lower average R multiple. Nothing wrong with it. We enter trades with a possible vision for the future and often adapt as we get new information - nothing wrong with it at all. I guess I just like to see gains in perspective to what was at risk. Sorry for the extra noise in your thread.

Trade nr. 3 Going SHORT EURSD here in 1.3565 for 1.3428 tp sl 1.3610

 

coming back shortly with the explanation

 

well, just to simply explain this one is that lack of follow through at 1.3560/80 area coupled with ECB to come earlier this week (Draghi lately tried to talk down the euro on any single occasion he had) implies weakness for the pairt in the short term....1.34 area eyed

The EUR/USD remained in short range on Thursday where investors couldn’t figure out a clear trend due to the mixed nature of the economic indicators released yesterday. The services PMI of Italy and Spain both were mixed while later on the unemployment claims in the U.S increased lesser than expected but the non-manufacturing PMI couldn’t beat the forecasted figure.

 

However, it fell down by more than 60 points on Friday and managed to close in a bearish zone.... sellers are getting active on the pair....

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
