Daily Trade my $482 dollars -10 pips Daily Technical analysis (Support/Resistance)

Trading Discussion
#1

Greetings my beloved Forex Traders,

I would like to open my new thread for my new small Capital $482, i will be Trading Daily EUR/USD and GBP/USD. Since these have small contracts. With these pairs i would like to share if the strategy works or not. I know its weekend today, i just wanted to move my mindset no matter what the markets will go up or down every week. There’s always Trade and Foreign Currency Trade.

I do have some emotional problem or Habit that i keep clicking stop and enter trade if the market reverses and didn’t hit my stop loss and looking at Charts every seconds. So i would like to set up my technical setup trade and just go to the gym for at least an hour or more just to make a successful trade after i come back from the gym.

Daily Technical analysis will be use with my strategy:
Support/Resistance <—using pivot point calculator in super dooper babypips calculator (high/Low)
Volatility <—using this as my trend where the market goes daily
Fibonacci <—using stop loss

Lets do this! can’t wait to see next week!

good stuff Ying! I will be following this thread along with you.

Cool, let go to the gym after, i set up :slight_smile:

If enthusiasm is a factor in success then you are certainly off to a good start! :slight_smile:

It will be interesting to see how you get on with this. Are you therefore looking for one trade per pair per day, which you set as a limit order + stop and target? What will you then do on those occasions that the stop is hit? will you re-enter the same day or re-consider the next day? Your stop will have to be very close if you are only looking for one 10-pip win otherwise one stop will wipe out too many days. On the other hand, a close stop is in danger of accidental hits from erratic, intraday price behaviour.

I think this is possible, but you will need to be very, very precise about your choice of entry and exit levels. Good luck, and I’ll be watching how you perform with this :slight_smile:

Hi Bro,

Thanks for the response.

I am looking with two pairs EUR/USD and GBP/USD, and i will consider also EUR/GBP.

Are you therefore looking for one trade per pair per day, which you set as a limit order + stop and target?
=> A one trade or two is a decent one, yes it has a limit order and a (stop loss in Fibonacci)<== ambush prevention

What will you then do on those occasions that the stop is hit?
=> If the stop is hit for example in EUR/USD, then lost the trade, i will look for an opening with the other two pair which is the GBP/USD and EUR/GBP.

Your stop will have to be very close if you are only looking for one 10-pip win otherwise one stop will wipe out too many days.
=> Your right, its a risk factor, i need to trust my strategy. If the market had breakout i would gain more 10 pips. Bit i must take this risk as a forex trader. We have been unforseen ambush many times already, the only thing i can do is to be self-confident with my strategy.

Precision is a must! I need to do this for my learning continuity.

But if you are looking to set your trade and leave it (and go to the gym) how are you going to set your target? Are you not setting it at 10 pips? If not, how are you adjusting it for a breakout if you are not watching it?

#7

Yes i will set it to 10 pips, i will not going for the breakout since it has a correction. I will set a target price once i have calculated the technical analysis.

#8

Ying17, I do admire your enthusiasm, good luck.

Thanks Bro, I feel great if i trade real money rather than just go out to the Bar every holiday.

May 2, 2016 (EUR/USD, GBP/USD and EUR/GBP)
That’s strange, before the euro starts, all prices were in the Pivot point and no volatility/range for the intraday

#11

There is a movement right now in before the euro session is open

EUR/USD @1.1457 short
GBP/USD @1.4621 Long
EUR/GBP @0.7835 short

I still don’t have live trades yet, waiting for it to develop the trend

#12

Aww looks like its too tight in the EUR and GBP zone for me

I will be trading NZD/USD due to holiday in europe

Looking into NZD/USD (Hi=0.702/Low=0.6976)
Daily upper breakout = 0.7049
R3 = 0.705 <=== I have no idea about this
R2 = 0.7035 <=== near Daily Breakout
R1 = 0.7006 <=== needs to break this resistance
Pivot = 0.6991 <=== Hope this wont reach, my stop loss set up
NZD/USD
Long @ 0.7014
stop @ 0.6991 <===pivot point
limit @ 0.7032 <=== near R2

#13

I forgot im going out for gym!!! bye bye chartsmake me happy or sad after gym

#14

Dang, i don’t know why did my NZD/USD is stuck, i didn’t see any resistance on it.
Anyways i have a setup now for EUR/USD since i can see a full picture of the High and Low

Looking into EUR/USD (Hi=1.14929/Low=1.1448)
Daily Upper Breakout @ 1.1534
R3 = 1.1532 <= near breakout, expecting a correction
R2 = 1.1513 <= entry near R2 going long
R1 = 1.1487 <= stop loss, ambush prevention
Pivot = 1.1468
EUR/USD Long @ 1.1521
Stop = 1.1487 <= R1 as stop loss
Limit = 1.1532 <= R3

According to fibonacci @ EUR/USD price 50% =1.147 is the restracement, i am expecting a full retracement since this year USD hit the lowest of 18 months

#15

i got carried away since there’s a high and low also in AUD/USD (hi=0.7645/low=0.75920)
R3 =0.7684
R2 =0.7665
R1 =0.7633
Pivot =0.7614 <= stop loss

AUD/USD
Long @0.7642
stop @0.7614
limit @ 0.7662

#16

Ouch it reached my stop loss in 0.6994 instead of 0.6691 trade close

#17

My NZD/USD had lost, i still have my AUD/USD, hope it won’t reach my stop loss @0.7614
