Potential USD/JPY short...

 

UPDATE: I got filled but not without 5.1 ticks of slippage!! Jeez... I guess it was because of the consumer confidence news. That's some of the worst slippage I've gotten. :(

 

FINAL UPDATE: Taken out for break-even. The dashed red line is closer to where the stop was actually placed, due to the 5.1 pips of slippage at entry, the 2.4 pip spread, etc.

Thanks for the reponses, iwshares & todds. I appreciate it.

 

I was just sitting here thinking and came to the realization that all I can do is my best...and hence my primary objective should just be to make my best better!

 

I can't get so mad at myself and upset as long as I'm doing my best. Hindsight's 20/20. I am well aware that I can't trade like Thales at this point, and I'll never trade perfectly...all I can do is my (current) best.

Potential GU long...

 

UPDATE: Taken out for a full loss (first one since I started trading/posting consistently a little over 5 weeks ago). You can imagine how I'm feeling right now.

Just reviewing my 1R loss and realized that I was basically going long a tick or so under resistance!

Have you considered trading on longer/different time frames to see if that helps. I trade base on te dailies and really appreciate the breathing room of the Market weekly close. Good work spotting why the trade stopped out, before placing one based on the same setup again

Well, I'm attempting to master day trading, so I pretty much just focus on the 15 minute chart as my primary chart. I like day trading because I feel like with more opportunities (vs swing or position trading), I'm getting more practice.

 

EDIT: I may someday be forced to focus only on much longer timeframe charts, though! ;)

Good job holding through those pullbacks. What made you hang in there this time?

 

I just had confidence in the trade I guess. It probably helped that I wasn't at my computer most of the time. I was checking in here and there but I wasn't watching every tick.

Potential EU long...

 

UPDATE: Filled for profit. Wow that was stressful holding through NFP! haha

 

UPDATE 2: Wow that profit target could not have been better placed! (I'm not taking credit...I know that was a little lucky! :))

I know it's early but I'm gonna go ahead and call it a week.

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=24826&d=1307111723

 

We had a holiday on Monday, then I had a rough start to the week but managed to make it back and then some. Still a whole lot of room for improvement. I'm getting good experience/practice, though. The drawdown and full 1R loss earlier in the week was probably a good thing because it forced me to experience the loss and move through it.

 

Have a good weekend!

Hi Folks,

 

I thought it would be interesting if we had a thread where we could all post charts of potential price moves in real time...

 

So the new management traded the old thread in for a dog ...

 

Well, she was a fine and good thread. I thank all of you who helped make her so.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Thales

Hey didn't mean to offend anyone here ... just that old thread was getting hard to navigate for people. Thanks for creating this great thread ... it isn't closed so you can continue to post on here if you want.

 

thanks,

MMS

    • “If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.   The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.   In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."   This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.   The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.   While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.   Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
