Apologies, when I said 'managing many positions', I didn't mean financially. I meant to say: how do you manage keeping track of all the trades at the same time (on the lower timeframes)? Are you just keeping mental notes of where you are expecting each to go? You obviously don't find this difficult as you frequently have multiple trades open at the same time. You're a machine!

Re: hunts. It definitely looked like a stop hunt on EURNZD the last couple of hours. I didn't close and re-enter on this one (although probably should have done at the time), but I did get a a second short during the USD news release, and both trades worked out well.

I'm looking forward to the non-farm payroll 'news' tomorrow. Hopefully can find a good entry.
Aaah, sorry, I see what now what you meant

My trades are mostly off H1 and H4 (and some off D1)

So it's not difficult to keep track. Every pass through the pairs open on Empty4 refreshes the mental notes

USD longs may kick in just yet. NZD longs are looking ok thus far

NFP should be interesting tomorrow

Cheers

Bad Guy Dudest :hi: :hi:

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't mean Non-farm payroll. I meant the ADP Non-farm employment change numbers being released tomorrow.

Friday will be the big one.

Meant that too!, sorry :hi:

I closed my shorts this morning with a small loss, when previous high was broken, to find out later the price moved in my desired direction

The beauty of forex :youknow:

Hi guys, I started studying naked charts recently, and finally something starts to make sense, thank you all for examples, are really useful.

Nice one. If you want, can you explain for one noob user what was your reasoning?

I think just a bounce on resistance + pin bar?

Thanks you all guys
