As I’m in blog mode I might as well post today’s result. A nice win early on and I’m glad the winning trade is out-of-the-way as the UK budget is released later today and god only knows what effect it will have on the market. I don’t believe the two timeframe method would have had this trade as I [...]

Drama
A day doesn’t seem complete without drama when trading and yesterday was absolutely no different. No sooner had I posted my latest post that a couple of TUFXP GG trades come my way. Decisions, decisions…. I took them as I keep telling myself that this particular strategy will turn around soon and start making the [...]

Pleasant Surprise
It’s been an okay week so far, yesterday was a little disappointing with a couple of near misses and missed opportunities. The GG TUFXP method operates on a 3 bar qualifying window, so it has 3 candles on whichever timeframe the signal came on to qualify. A GU trade expired by a matter of seconds [...]

Lost..
I cannot begin to tell you the day I’ve had. Remarkable doesn’t even cover it. Yesterday was a whirlwind also. I literally am lost for words.. Yesterday was a ‘nearly’ day. Several trades were almost perfect but ended up being stopped out by the finest margins. I had set an order to open at 1.5290 [...]

Slide continues
The landslide continues today with another losing day registered on the boards. GBPUSD got me off to a bad start and then TUFXP simply added to my problems with yet another loss. The method in question is the method first detailed on the cash-master site. I spent hours and hours of research on this particular [...]

Confidence Issue
So far this week, all I’ve managed to do is repeat last weeks dose of bad discipline and other shocking efforts of trading. What makes it all the more galling is the fact if I had stuck to my strategies, I’d be doing just fine this week. My ability to control trades has apparently jumped [...]

Moderation
Last week couldn’t have been any more up and down if it had tried! An absolute bananas week summed up nicely by the price action that unfolded after the NFP release. EURJPY rocketed down for nearly 100 pips before engaging full thrust and reversed the full amount and then went long for a fair few [...]

Contrasts
I received two very contrasting comments yesterday, one left here and the other via email. Both of them had an effect on me and I’ve certainly given them a thought or three. Jon said that I shouldn’t be live trading yet alone trying to sell a Forex e-book due to crazy drawdown and risk sizing [...]

Goodbye Profit!Hello Stupidity
Today will go down as my stupidest day, ever. I broke all of my own rules and quite simply chased my losses and lost the plot. Yes it was a bad day with TUFXP hammering me for -21% and a loss of 6% on my morning trade. But that is where it should of stayed; yet somehow I’ve [...]

Hello Profit!
Well it’s certainly taken a lot longer than I’d planned on but I’ve just about edged into profit! It was a fairly productive day with a few good trades but also a couple of small errors on my behalf which cost me an extra few % but I certainly won’t grumble at a decent start to [...]
