ya about time too ive been hovering the same spot for like 6 hours lol, i took the trade too early
Half a pip one way, half a pip the other… its like watching paint dry this time of year.
I had a trade open for 10 hrs I finally closed it for about 2 pips profit:D Anyone that knows how I trade knows 10 hrs is a long!! trade for me.
Got to ask… was that on the 1m chart? Sorry couldnt resist.
Started out on the 5min:D then nothing happened:rolleyes:
The EUR/USD lined up last night on the Hour and I fouled it up placing my stop too tight. Live and learn.
Andrew take heart were all crazy to trade over Christmas.
Found Nassy’s site particularly useful though… aparently a ‘Feng phooey’ expert informs me the bow of my sailboat picture is facing out the front door and taking my money with it. Tacking to port now and coming about.
Found out too that my chairs facing the wrong way… if I turn it around and lean over the top it radically improves my trading… OK I’LL STOP NOW!
hahaha, both sound, practical improvements to one’s trading.

I know I keep looking at the charts. all day I see a potential trade but when I measure the candles a 15min candle is like 3 or 4 pips. I finally turned off my charts and downloaded the latest version of the 3d modeling program I like to play around with. I think I will work on some art till the new year. or maybe learn some feng phooey.
I did manage to make some pips today eur/usd was bouncing in about an 8 pip range
Yeah, been in positive pips a lot since the market opened this week. Always set them to break even and let them ride out hoping for a decent move. Nothing.
I have a new strategy… since I always place my trades in the wrong direction… I turn my computer screen upside down. now I win them all!
I’d likely STILL screw up. hahaha :D:D:D
finally just decided to close my 3 shorts on G/U, +16 pips and minus about 3$ in swap LOL, id much rather be doing something more eventful, like watching paint dry.
Tests ones patience doesn’t it?
ya it sure does lol i think im done til the new year unless i decide to trade E/U looks like its moving about 8 PPH (pips per hour) vs G/U .01 PPH but well see
I tried that but I found it doesn’t work :mad:when you screen is upside down your trading USD/GBP
I wish it could be so simple:D
Yeah, decided to switch to EUR/USD due to low overall volume in the market. I needed to work on this pair a bit anyway. Been needing to study the correlation between GPB/USD, EUR/USD, and USD/CHF for a while.
Now that much I do know… EUR/USD & USD/CHF is a pretty close mirror pair.
Trade on GU now been running 7 hours and… wait for it… BE! Thinking of keeping it running untill New Year. I know I’m reaching here but I dare to dream it might even make 10 pips!
got a buy limit placed a couple pips above 1.4343 - a major pivot/reverse level stoch is already oversold and could very well pull out soon or since MACD is still going lower and recently crossed the 0 line price may hit the 1.4343 level before heading back up also on the daily chart stoch is now pulling out from oversold so well see what happens oh, using a 30 pip stoploss and aiming for 1.4374
LOL goodluck with that 10 pips id just take break even now or atleast set your stop to that, G/U isnt going anywhere
