GBP/NZD very promissing.

I am in GPB/NZD and still long in EUR/AUD.

USD/CAD and USD/CHF are also starting to setup nicely. E/U is looking at possibility for a short.

U/Cad is still coming back. I expect it to come back to 1.0335 at least before turning back up. 1.0335 is 61.8% fib level of the 4hr move from 5/23 to 5/29. Getting in at 1.0335 is a better bargain. Possibly all the way back to 1.029

Buy

- GBPJPY

Sell
- USDCHF

No SL, only TP
Well that was nice, woke up with some tidy profits, but the dd was at 5k pips at some point, due primarily to the fact that I was doing CT trading. If I were to use 10.5 it would perhaps add another 4k+ pips to my bank account.

Think I might do this as an exercise, combining both methods and see where it leads me, worse case scenario I just need to unravel a hedged position

Nice one kwanann. Here's my open trades from yesterday:

Yesterdays closed trades:

If I shut now I'd profit a total of +$2600. The important thing here is to look at the trades that I shut which I didn't feel comfortable about.. Keep losses small and let the good trades run.

The DD has been insignificant on these trades. My account is $50,000 .. If my biggest loss yesterday was ~$100 then DD was about .2% and my profit @ $2800 on a 50k account is around 6%. In one day. That is seriously amazing.

Jeremy, what is the SL that you use? the nearest pivot or the 240 line?

Since i trade both NB and CJ techniques, and the sheer volume of NB trades makes it rather messy. will be putting comments in my trades to mark them out for easier reference

Some of my trades do have TS entered, these are generally trades that might go the other way so i rather lock in some profits

These screenshots will give you a better idea. If I'm really comfortable with the setup I'll put the SL tighter to get a better R:R .. Otherwise SL at a previous high that I hope won't get hit and then I close any trade that makes me uncomfortable and try again later.

found the 30M CSS a great "HEY LOOK HERE" tool.

so here's another 10.4 trade.

AUDUSD.
