-- You had requested to see OANDA's final respone - it is below. Yes, no undue loss; my concern is the automatic canceling, plus the fact that I wonder if it would have been canceled if I was on the wrong side of the trade, since, as previously ...

Not strictly on topic, but since @traderathome likes to collect stories of cheating MM behavior, here's one: I use OANDA in the US. This morning I had three trades in on EU, GU and GJ, respectively, when the 8:30 AM US 'red flag' results were ...

This is bullsh*t. MT4 user here. This morning I entered a couple of trades in anticipation of favorable US 'red flag' news at 8:30. When it hit, the usual market maker programmatic whipsaw came in; when I inspected trade history, I found my three ...

EURAUD long - been working on all of the little details. Caught this today.

A followup to my earlier post about the importance of understanding price action. Please note the 'bad' DBLHC trade ("can't win 'em all") did not have a corresponding signal in the TDI indicator - if anything, there was a bit of divergence.

Hey @Emmanuel7788 - I've been reading Strat's PASR thread as part of trying to build a trading system (I took James16's course a lifetime ago, but didn't have the discipline to apply it properly). Came across this example today. image If I were ...

Just found this thread and dove right in. As background, I took James16's course what seems like a lifetime ago, but didn't have the psychological discipline to make use of it. I am now a profitable trader, looking to take the leap to doing this ...

image H4 is at resistance and looks to be reversing. Weekly is ranging in the other direction. Stoch and TDI are below 50. This looks to me like a short-lived retracement that will resume downtrend in the near future. Could be a setup when it ...

Looking at this as a D1 setup, Mehdi Method 2. Only concern is it isn't above the MBL. While it is near resistance on the daily, the monthly shows ro0m to advance. Even the daily has 60 pips or so of room. image image

This looks like a Mehdi Method 1 setup to me: Second bullish bar (i.e., trigger bar); TDI line over MBL and TDI Signal; Stochastic over 80. Also, volatility bands wide, so no consolidation happening. image

@Tekkies - you're right, I am still learning; but even so, I am up for the week; so, I will just keep working at it. You're a retired centimillionaire yourself, right? image

Emmanuel3778 - I entered on D1 setup; H1 was there just to show what I was thinking. I saw the swing on EU D1, and it looked to me like it could go down as far as approximately 1.092. At the time of trade entry (red vertical line on the posted D1 ...

Emmanuel7788 - Common sense question that I am trying to fit into either the TMS or your TMS-II method: I recently sold EU. Today it ate a 60-pip advance after the latest FOMC rate raise. While I am not stupid enough to play with knife edge trades, ...

Emmanuel3778 - Just wanted to thank you for keeping the thread going. Between the TMS 5 method and Mehdi's ideas, I have had a good week (and it's only Thursday!). Next goal is 100 pips/day. Now to decipher your notes and figure out how to include ...

Took this trade today. Can't see where I went wrong. Would appreciate some constructive criticism. image

Took this trade this morning. Trying to see where I went wrong. Would appreciate guidance. Trade was taken at red vertical line. image

I'm not complaining - but this is about 20% of my weekly goal. Got to figure out more entries or better trade management. Anyway, thanks again, LauraT, your basic daylight strategy is a winner.

Not a bad week. What a great strategy. Now to work on exit timing. image

Wow - got my butt kicked this week. Laura T - the big losses are from D1 trades with stops set at swing highs/lows. Stops have always been my Achilles heel. I am thinking of using a blanket twenty pips, but am wondering if that will be sufficient ...

Here's a trade I am currently in. Note that the SMA200 is all in the same direction (momentum). Note the RSI (more momentum). I simply followed Laura's rules from there. TP is the DayLo, SL is approximately the ADR high on the D1 (H1 is shown). I ...
