Evening

At last a decent day trading in MArch (party) (party)

I think wise ambition posted in his journal today about losing focus and i can only agree with the email he received that said get back to the basics of what was making you money in the good days....

i had a similar conversation with a trading friend of mine last night who said that with the adr on EJ dropping and the big daily runs missing its time to watch EU again.

Add to that the confidence taking a bash over the first few days of March and i agreed that it was indeed time to get the EU charts open.

Thus as long as my concentration levels can take it i am going to attempt to watch EJ and EU.

charts attached for to day below

cheers

If I could make 19+ pips after just an hour of trading every day I would be a happy man. :D

Thanks for posting your charts Grant - they are a great learning tool.

19 pips a day would keep the job away, as Immy might say!

Evening All,

Just sitting here going through some trading stuff and noticed that NY have put their clocks forward to summer time yesterday. Which means that they open an hour earlier (12 noon UK).

I know that everyone on here is a pro trader and will know this change already but someone has to remind Immy..... (rofl) (rofl)

Luckily i did not take a single trade on m1 today. Though i had my fair share of m5 rents. You did exactly what the market wanted. Discipline is the key. You traded the setup and in the long run you are a consistently winning trader because you stick to trading your Edge over and over.

Tomorrow is another day

Cheers
