me either this morning, though the break of 15min high at 8.56ish was tempting but no traded.
Thanks for all your support this week much appreciated

Re: Topher's Journal
What a frustrating day.
Sat from 6:40 am until 5:30pm and did not take a single trade. There was one I would have taken, however, I was making myself a coffee at the time which was fortunate for me as it would have turned out to be a rent trade.

Hi Richard
I saw nothing this morning, even with hindsight.
Thought I had one yesterday but it bounced and became rent
Trying to keep patient and disciplined

Re: Topher's Journal
Having gone for a few days without a trade, today I was rewarded today with a beauty.
After initally moving the SL to 3 pips above the signal candle I let the THV Cavemanager trade management EA take over and trail the last candle high by 3 pips until it hit the SL for +49.7 pips. If I hadn't used this I would probably have got out around the 1.3128 mark (10pips). And what makes it even better is this is my first live trade with Aims.

Re: Topher's Journal
Congratulations on a great trade today, Richard. That was a beauty. And thanks for that tip about using the crosshairs to set up the PO. I played with it a bit until I got familiar with the procedure. It sure saves time and gets right to the point. I appreciate your help.

Well Done on this great trade!
I've used that TM for donkey years. Loved it and really good. But I never take off of a position, I add on!
