Happy New Year to all - trust everyone is refreshed and ready for a prosperous 2006.
I'll probably let another week go by without doing too much - the first week released a relatively easy couple of hundred pips, by going with the range breaks on Tuesday night, and this week may give better clues as to whether this is the usual New Year false move or for real.
Looking for the butterflies, bats, crabs, spiders and anything else that goes bump in the night, as well as messrs Gartley and Gann to provide the clues...

my intent this year is to run with tighter stops and accept losses of 20-35 pips. Not doing that last year was what undid me. You can always get in again if the first attempt goes against you but you;re confident of direction. Taking even a couple of hits of that magnitude doesnt blow the account <bangs head>
Demo has been good so far using this principle, with profits racking up on my Oanda trial system.
As shown by my new thread , I'm prepared to try some new pairs as well...
quite looking forward to this year, Max's recommendations have been a good basis for trading , I'm gonna work with what he says and a few others.
Good luck and good trading to you guys. Hopefully we can keep this place slightly alive... bit of a tumbleweed town here at the moment.
Yeah Max has been running red hot lately Peat - some truely inspired calls. Pleased to see you're still hangin' in with him after the rocky start... are you now a paying subscriber?

yeh we settled our differences (hes quite a gruff guy to deal with tho) and I paid up till end of May.... Having had several months of his stuff now I can see he is worth it. And I learn by seeing his strategies. He always tries to get a bargain which is of course a good idea, tho this means that if you do exactly what he says sometime you will miss out on successul trades even tho he gets the direction right, so I often enter in with a little trade and then buy/sell more when it reaches his entry points to average closer.
I was looking forward to this weeks forecasts and now hes gone on hols again lol tho so just working with his last email and its med term directions
But yeh my demo a/c is flying with what I've been doing with his stuff so will try and make some actual cf virtual dollars from now. Wasnt that keen on trading too much over the illiquid period tho that reasoning is a bit flawed actually.
In demo I've been practicing setting up the trade with s/l and t/p set at the time of entry and then walking away from it emotionally. It wins or it loses and no point in sleepless nights is the new motto. Not so easy when its real but thats the plan.
You're on to it Peat - when he says ' support around...' etc, you could possibly get one lot on 15 to 20 pips higher, then add more if it actually does go down to his stated level, otherwise often miss out entirely. Left feeling a bit like the baby when the wet nurse has a day off......
