Three trades today, 2 winners 1 rent. There was some good setups after NFP but I didn't manage to catch some of the better ones, especially AU M1 - that would have been a beauty!

HI Darren,

Nice trading as always, just 2 quick questions if i may.

What did you use for the SL buffer under the IB (seed) you took?
What is your spread on EU?

Will explain why after you answer... May be over the weekend though...

cheers

Hi Grant.

I placed the stop 1 pip below the Seed candle, so quite tight. My Spread is about 0.3/0.4 on EU with about 0.6 commission, so roughly 1 pip in total.

Cheers :)

I don't have to post my trade., Our NFP special trade that comes once a month with higher odds. As long as you have a good spike, 80% of the time, EU M1 will setup after news. And what a lovely one this was. Good on ya!

pssst: it hit TZ1 every so nicely! :ar!

Cheers Grant - that makes sense!

It would be great to see a revival of your journal btw, but I know you are a busy man! :)
