Total for day so far.............................

+1050

Hi Barrett

Yes, that was also a good scalp on 1m - hope you took advantage.

Thanks - not trading atm, just getting familiar with it, but will soon. It looks like the bounce off 30M Kumo+trendline support earlier would have been a good entry.

Yes that was an idea spot, and I did scalp 300 based off that Morning Star (see earlier post), however, it was also possible the action might just venture in the Kumo a little more, so that was the reason to take profits early.

Hi Gold Daytraders.........


Got off to a bad start this morning when an initially profitable trade targeting 300 hit the stop at minus 200. before hitting the TP

Picked up +55 and +150 on two scalps for a positive of +5

Anyway, things have improved now after a short from 757.05 with a TP of 743.20

so up to now.......................

+1390

Heres a chart of the first one that went wrong.......I was expecting a test of the lower Kumo after a Dark Cloud Cover at Resistance of an old Kumo high area convincingly repelled the action. (The SL was changed to 200 after things started to look a bit dodgy).

Arco, maybe you post some postion sizing and inital stop information too. I would be interested in that. I like the Ichimoku threads and i'm following them closely, very interesting.

Thanks,

Hello CanOz

I risk MAX 2% of my capital for any trade.

You can usually see the initial stop on the first chart

The Ichiwiki gives stop positioning ideas, but RR is a very personal thing.

There was no signal on Gold before I closed up the office, but Silver gave a signal on the 15M.

I left the order without a TP but being in the Land of Nod I missed the opportunity to grab a decent profit circa +600 near the high of 10.532 (entry 9.892). Anyway current profit +265

SL is above entry, so I be monitoring closely to see how it performs.
