Ducks are align. Gonna watch it carefully to see if develops. Entry A: In the Break. Entry B: In the range rebound. Stopp Loss: If goes against. TP: Double the last range.
Breaking range. So far, so good. Let’s wait and see how it develops.
I got nice 26 pips on the first lot. I was aiming for 1.0475 and 1.0500. The trade did not make it that far, and was losing steam. So I closed the entire position. Would it make it that far? Maybe. Do not know. The range is very low, and everything felt tonight, so I decided to close it. We’ll see what happen.
Here is the repeater. +100 pips.
So, the setup I was looking for did not developed. Still I catch momentum and scalp 40 nice pips. I think price will go down a lot more. But is ok. I’m fine with 40 pips. I said that, but is not ok, I’m not suppose to be fine with just 40 pips when I think I could get 100 pips. I do need to improve. Enough is enough. I need to step up.
Ducks align. Entry for when resistance/previous high break. Target at 1.5300. Stop Loss have not decided yet. In my experience this pair is a beast, so I just pip n’ run. I don’t care if it develops a strong buying trend, because like I said, my experience with this pair is fuzzy. Either way, selling pressure is super strong. So, whatever.
Voodoopips,
You’re posting some very nice trades! 
Thank you. Pure hard work.
I feel so frustrated and angry at the same time. Is all because of target profits. I never get the full amount of pips. I feel like I’m leaving money on the table. It’s affecting my performance, etc…
For example, if the eur/jpy break out at 30 pips, I don’t grab profits, because I always think it will continue to roll. But noooooo, it just retraced and I end up with like 8-12 pips. Arrggg.
Well at least you are ending with positive pips…! Doing something right.
I’ve been doing some backtesting and trying to improve my trading. I got saturated, so I did some brainstorming in a piece of paper. Sometimes it can be refreshing just to step away from the computer.
This is what I’ve been doing:
- ID target profits.
- Trying to catch the London Breakout. <-- More pips.
- Trying to get the 3 ducks to another level. <— (Avoid fakeouts, Figuring out my exits, etc)
- Trying to grab more than 30 pips.
- Trying to trade a bigger time frame.
I like your style! I read your profile and I agree with many of your views. Check out my threads.
