Re: SFX Divergent Daily Advice

Alright I'm back +76 pips in profit with all signs pointing toward more gains so I'll stick with the trade for now. Nice start. :-)

Albert I typically look at 5 1M charts for each p I trade...sometimes utilizing longer timeframes for longer trades.

Re: SFX Divergent Daily Advice

The reason is I'm adding to the position on a fib retracement of the smaller drop instead of normally adding at a higher level. Thus if we go above 75 the reason for that trade is negated. Better to wait for better positioning.

I have to let the market breathe. In trending the market usually seems to display characterisitics of intraday jolts coupled with broadening periods to rest for the next jolt. At least that's what it looks like on the five minute charts while on the daily it may be a 45-degree climb with no respite.

Sheesh now I'm babbling. I suppose my MM is sort of built in to the way I trade without me having a much more eloquent way to express it than "trade small small small". :-)


Thanks goodluck with this averaging you will need it (i am talking expercience )

Smile Re: SFX Divergent Daily Advice

So let's summarize sound's calls so far:

CHF- sold 2409 & 2424 - avg. 2416 - Results so far - low of 2385 = 31 pips
GBP -bought @8868 - Results so far - high of 8936 = 68 pips
JPY - sold @116.53 & 116.29 - avg. 116.41 Results so far = high of 116.62 = -21

so far a good day I'd say! Nice calls...

Re: SFX Divergent Daily Advice

WEll of course none of those trades were exited yet rharris. But if one were using limits I suppose they'd be fine. Right now I'm sitting at -49 holding probably overnight. Perhaps the news will take care of things in the morning. I'm cancelling the stop on the USD/JPY order. All in. No stops.

Happy trading.
