Hi Guy

Just signing in to say that I didn't trade today, because it was first NFP day with Aims and sat on the side lines to watch how Aims reacted to the markets. Have a great weekend everyone.

To my experience NFP days are just normal fantastic days at least during London open. Towards NFP release market tends to settle down and wait for the news, but London open time is purely tradeable. Setup is a setup and it's there to be traded.

Afternoon Guys

At last I was able to take a trade today. I managed to enter this cheeky little trade whilst at work (hope my boss doesn't read this lol)

This trade was also a set up on the 1H time frame as you can see from the pics below.

Here is the M15 Chart from which I was managing the trade. This was a 1 % risk for 1.5% gain.

And this is what it looked like the 1H Chart

Hi Guys Ive realised I have just completed my first 20 Trade challenge

The result is a 15.4 % gain on account I am loving this (party) and to think it used to take me six months to achieve this with my old daily chart strategy

Hi Immy thank you. I think I may be having a senior moment but what do you mean by my DS :ymblushing:

Well here's a trade for you.

Entered on the M15

I got into this trade and it pretty much burst into action as it broke the Aims level and soon 0.5% to the good before slowing up a little but I could see that I had five red candles so started my trailing by pulling the stop down.

Price just hesitated and refused to give me more and started to consolidate, so I looked at the M5 chart and realised that this was also a set up on this time frame only the entry was three candles earlier and would have already hit a 1.5% TP should I have been in on. (see pic below)

So with that fact and also a new lower Aims had developed and USD Bank Holiday along with the fact that it was the markets lull of the day time , Plus Red News Coming up on the Euro with President Draghi Speech, I decided to close the trade for 0.3% profit for 1% risk.

Here is the M5 chart that shows as described above.

Hi Guys

I only had an hour or so to trade so I thought I would trade the 1M with 5M combo today.

I got into this trade as seen below

This 1m set up was also breaking out of lower Aims level on the 5m chart so I was confident that this trade was good enough to enter. I had my eye on TZ1 and pulled stop to break even as soon as it touched. I wanted to squeeze a bit more out this trade and looked to TZ2 as my possible target if price looked to stall at this level.

That's exactly what it did so was happy to take my 1% gain for 1% risk. Plus red news was due shortly.

And here is the 5M Chart

Looking back at the first 20 trades I would score myself a DS 16 so there is room for improvement. The main area to work on is exit trade on close red gator with out hesitating.
