That is a question you should be asking yourself.

If your system works good on the demo it "should" as well on a live account. You just have to remember that on the demo your fills are less realistic and you don't have the emotional element involved, which happens to be the most important aspect to any system. As far as your chosen style...

I think what you meant to say was your return was a 32.6% gain. If you'd made a 132.6% return, your ending balance would be $18,608.

I focus solely on the Eur/Usd since I share the same mindset. If you can make money with just one pair consistently, just up your ante and you make more. I get way too distracted by trying to following multiple pairs. Perhaps that's just a mental defect of mine? Although I do have the...

This pattern happens all the time in the Eur. It's a .786 ret of a bottom or top. Our bottom was confirmed by the candle where we bounced off 5600. Then price drifted back down to a .786 ret level of that swing. We actually tested the .786 level again for a double bottom and went up from...

We broke the wedge - time to see if it holds now.

If you had the TL's drawn, the short from the .6000 was obviously not a bad trade. And given we have a wedge in an uptrend (which is suppose to be bearish) it seemed like the more probable trade. Today's D candle is shaping up to be a very bearish one with 5800 - 5770 being the support area...

It sure bounced hard and fast off of .6000 the first time around. I think everyone and their Mother were waiting with their fingers on the short button.

Can you elaborate more on this?

What swing points are you using for your triangle?

My first account with was GFT. I soon found myself at a different broker. They would put my orders into la la land, I would not be able to cancel them or have any idea what was happening to them. Then a few minutes later, only after a move had been established, my trade would go through...

The Eur/Usd is all I trade as well and I do so through Oanda. I also have an account with Efx/Mb but they proved to be way too costly for my trading style which is many trades a day. I don't think you can beat Oanda if the E/U is what you want to trade.

Not sure I understand. It was a one position trade which netted 12 pips. It's simple swing trading and if you're nimble and know your levels, the knife is very dull. I missed the trade down but took another long at .5728 for another quick profit of 9 pips on 2/3 of my trade. Will hold on...

OK. I trade off of tick charts, trading all the swings both directions. The longer term charts for me are there to verify levels, etc. Long again at .5740 and out at .5752 on a nice little .786 ret of the 5730 bottom. This set up happens all the time in the E/U if you're a short term trader.

I take it you're looking at a longer term chart? Price hit .5757 area (pivot as well as the upper TL support) and bounced up approx 30pips. We've since broken the .5757 support.

Bounced right off the upper TL at the .5750 area. Oh my!

I clearly see it on a 4 hour chart and the daily or course. I don't trade off charts this size but it sure was a nice intraday short if you were trading at the time the triple top occurred. The 4 hour from a technical standpoint, is looking like a short if we can break the upper TL support...

Make sure you get a D.O.T. approved crash helmet.

Lets keep in mind that there has not been one single post that I can find about a disconnect during yesterdays NFP. That's awesome. The good things always go unmentioned while one guy in Timbuktu who experienced a disconnect will probably end up starting a thread about it. And lets also not...
