I don't see any trades for me until I see some pinned RSIs.

Possible good trade. You never do this the first week of the month (go with JPY strength) but could be a good setup for today. Watch the angle of the JPY on the 4H chart and go with the flow.

Hi Jeremy and all, somewhere else you did write the same. Took only trades if RSI is pinned. I am sorry but don't understand what "pinned RSI" does mean, can you provide a picture of a pinned RSI?

Thanks! :D
Surely this is where the RSI is "flat-lining" at the top (for a short) or "flat-lining" at the bottom for a long. i.e. been at the top or bottom for a few bars or more.

Thanks! Took the trade a bit late, but still managed to get about 30 pips at WS1. However, with the 240 MA so near, I thought it was a relatively low risk trade if the stop loss was placed slightly above 240 MA.

Amleth, I pinched a cheeky 20 pips from that setup but really I thought those three long candle-wicks were saying "be wary of short trades" ;)

Good opportunity to sell GBPUSD, but I am always scared to go against GBP !!

Guys, lets keep this thread ONLY for the trades that you are taking with a screenshot.
We still have the big thread http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... start=4810
for the general discussions.

What that means is they will range with each other. In other words they will stay between a high and low. So depending where you put your trade will determine your success. Except for the run yesterday, if you look at a 4H chart price movement has just been passing back and forth across the WP line for the last 2 1/2 weeks. It is ranging with a big news story knocking it out for a day.

We are all totally impressed with your trading skills. I know you posted a log a couple of weeks ago. But as I remember you have some pretty straightforward rules about when to get in/out.

Could you post these again?

Thanks

Hi Cmeade2,

This list of trades has nothing to do with skills, history has proven that JPY after such a movement will bounce back. I just used that bounce back to enter and exit trades. I entered a pending on every line on a 20 pip grid, and TP on the next line. Every next order that entered, closed the previous after the spread has been 'done'. If prices rise I win, if they don't I'm not in.

Nothing to do with 10.4, just taking advantage of the situation. One month ago the same movement killed my account, now I used it to raise my balance.

The JPY pairs are a bonus these days, I'm planning to do a full month survey to see how much of this months profit is due to JPY, and how much of "real 10.4/5 trading. My guess is 1:1 or in other words 50% is JPY and the other 50% are other pairs.
