Thanks everyone for providing such exciting evidence that…being profitable CAN happen!
I am testing out NinjaTrader at the moment to enter a trial with TopStepTrader (which may
lead to having a funded account)… Long-term trades with FXCM are a bit slow at picking up,
so I am glad to be re-engaging with day-trading as a separate challenge, to see how it can
be done… So, I am still reading this thread, even though I do not have much to contribute 
I hope you liked my video, by the way
See y’all!
GBP/NZD and GBP/AUD have been fun to trade the past few weeks. Following is my performance on these 2 pairs since the start of the year:
[B][U]GBP/NZD[/U][/B]
Positions opened: 18 (5 long, 13 short)
Results: 13 winners, 2 losers, 3 break even
Total profit: +1222 pips
[B][U]GBP/AUD[/U][/B]
Positions opened: 10 (3 long, 7 short)
Results: 9 winners, 0 losers, 1 break even
Total profit: +867 pips
Lately I have only been taking short positions. The levels I have been looking for taking a short are 2.1850 for GBP/NZD and 2.0500 for GBP/AUD. But I have been cautious because these two can make large moves in a very short time.
Spectacular performance, very well done
Agreed! Spectacular!!!
could be a nice chunk of change depending on how big he trades. but regardless that is amazing
The 2.1500 Support level held again. I will start looking for another short entry after it retraces to at least the 38.2% Fib at 2.1855.
Pip, Eddie, 3xfx, thanks for the nice words.
Yes, I’ve had a very good run on the 2 pairs. I need to continue to remind myself to remain patient and wait for the right time to enter the trade. I do not want to get overconfident and start giving back the hard fought profits.
Best of luck to you as well.
Short GBP/NZD from 2.1845 after it looked to be stalling out at the 200HMA which has been containing the upside for the past few days. Stretching past the ATR too so worth a punt. Been a nice week and I’m not giving anything back to the market if I can avoid it so will move stop to B/E fairly sharpish.
I got filled overnight.
GBP/NZD: Short at 2.1850
I got stopped out at B/E. Price had gone to +60 and I had some work to do so moved stop to B/E and came back later to see price had popped back up and taken me out. Oh well… that’s the way it goes sometimes. Think that’ll probably be me for the week unless something clear pops up on the charts.
I am trading GBPNZD as well.
Shorting at 2.16856
I’m keeping it for some time, with SL at 2.20 and TP at 2.10
It is going to hit some strong support at 2.1500. Good luck to you. If it breaks out below 2.1500 it could go all the way to 2.1000.
I am short from 2.1850. I am going to be more conservative and will be looking to exit at 2.1600. I will also add to my position with a pending short order at 2.1950 in case it goes against me.
Good luck
I closed half of my position at 2.1675 for +175 pips. Set SL for the other half at +150 pips. I’ll see how many more pips I can squeeze out of this trade.
GBP/NZD: Second half of position stopped out at +150 pips. Net profit for the full position was +163 pips.
I now have in place a Sell Stop order at 2.1850. Let’s see how many times we can keep riding this.
Amazing, Yohec!!!
GBP/NZD took a big spike up at 02:00 GMT.
I opened a Short position at 2.1837.
I’m also leaving a Sell Stop order at 2.1940 in case it goes against me. And in case it makes a big move down, I will set TP at 2.1687. I’ll see what happens when I wake up.
GbpNzd short 2.1842 with a stop at 2.1925
Also short EurUsd
And stopped out following huge jump, watch this space
Indeed…as posted on the GBP/NZD thread… wow!
