Lightbulb Aggressive Trading

Right. First off;

This thread is about scalping and contains live trades only. Feel free to join in, the more the merrier and when there's some competition I tend to work harder!

I'm going to show you how one way trades with very little risk but an immediate win/lose scenario can happen. I will be trading counter trend most of the time, playing bounces on major levels and news trading.

I've already finished for the week already in two trades overnight (SWEET) so I'm going to use the account this whole week to see what % return I can get over the next month or so. I will be withdrawing money out of this account everytime it hits £1500 = (-500) £2000 = (-500) £3000 = (-500) etc!

Hope you enjoy watching or contributing!

Good trading.

Starting with:
£500.01

Current Balance:

Re: Aggressive Trading

Must admit it was a bit of a rubbish day. Missed the morning, lots of news to trade tomorrow so i expect to make more.

Was expecting at least £600 today, I topped at £574 hit back to £550 then scratched a trade for -£4.

Bit rubbish but percentage wise it's O K.

Early morning tomorrow to news trade.

Current Balance: £546.09
Daily %:9.2%
Total %:9.2%
Total withdrawn:£0

Be back tomorrow for the london session, I'm feeling FTSE cable GJ EJ and euro scalping .

Good trading.

Re: Aggressive Trading

Just to show you how I view things, pretty old photos but they took a while to make. OVernight ranges haven't been great lately.

Re: Aggressive Trading

Been scalping ok today, account is now £584, however i have been taking FAR too early. Bit gay to be honest but at least I got out of winners instead of losers. Targetting £700 today or £750. As with everything it's best to half your targets so £600/650 is more likely if this is a good day.

Can't believe i cut a euro/cable long that early, took like 5 pips each when so far 20+ pips are on the table (still on the same 5minute bar while typing). SOD IT!

Looking to buy ftse on open if the cash opens at yesterdays low. Should be ok support here i think.

How are you guys doing?

Re: Aggressive Trading

£600 hit . Less talk from me now. FTSE did fall down after my hit, that is a bit annoying i must admit. Might try GJ on 148 ej 13300 etc etc.

Anyone out there ?

Re: Aggressive Trading

Don't even ask, I just had one hell of a whipsaw. Fatfingered on GJ, was actually in profit on it too - wish i cut it then but got logged out.

Account £588. Seriously ******* stressfukl day. I've picked the bottom at 15098 on cable. Didn't hold, could have added 15147 - didn't hold.

Now i'm short 92 97 98 and cut the first two off at 67.

Let's get back on track to £650. jesus christ.
