Thanks for stopping by. You might very well be correct. If you truly believe that yen can go to 105-110, I encourage you to start your own thread where you will go long usdjpy and possibly scale-in as position moves in your favor. If you are not 100% confident, don't have to do it with real...

Thank You for that. Seems now the direction is pretty clear. We are going to go and establish new highs.

Great comments all around. Some guys pointed out that there is a better method to fade parabolic moves. Possibly yes. My idea behind starting this thread is to just demonstrate how such parabolic moves can be faded profitably in a very mechanical way - without the need to be in front of a...

I have been trading FX for >3 yrs. Let me use this forum to trade usdyen over the next few days in a mostly systematic rule-defined way. Hopefully, markets will cooperate and it will be a good exercise. Rationale for Set-up Today's range 200 pips from 88.14 to 90.14. Looking at the chart...

Thanks :) When I started, it was not easy at all. Trading for a living has been an extremely hard journey. Completing grad school and real job were much easier :) Now, I guess its time to enjoy the fruits of my labor.

out of my trades at 78 and 79. Finally a good day after 4 consecutive days which went no where. I was like +2/-1 or so on all these previous 4 days.

Good Advice all around. LOL on last paragraph. Btw, I have developed automated systems using easylanguage on MC - with holding time measured in hours. If you are trying to hold for minutes, you really have no hope with TS/MC/NT kind of software.

3 pts per week is a much more intelligent goal than things like 1 or 2 points per day. A week gives you enough days that you can hopefully average 3 pts. Have you been successful historically in making 3 pts per week?

long at 72 (just before the 10oclock numbers). otherwise would have gotten better price to enter. Ahhh.

So what issue did you encounter with IB? Because I couldn't logon for most of the day also. I suspect it was something to do with ports on my computer as McAfee showed that it was blocking some incoming connection from IB, but i am not sure. Since on days when TWS works fine, then also sometimes...

Thanks for taking the time to post your eq curve and explaining a bit more about your trading style. Your equity curve is beyond what I could have expected with this style of 1-2-3 ticks. Thanks for posting that. So, you made roughly 7k over 1.5 months, that is 7000/50= 140 points over say 35...

interesting that you are going for 1-2-3 ticks on profit target. Would like to see your equity curve following this strategy. Never thought such a thing can work when you are doing it over the internet using non-automated manual trading. Can you post your equity curve (showing results of only...
