Analytical Trader Software - USDCAD Reversal

Image
In fact, what I like about the setup is that if price retraces back to previous demand level (think wyckoff teachings), you should be daring enough to go for a re-long. The reason because it was a previous prior demand level. Thus, one should not hesitate to re-long at the previous demand level if price manage to do a retracement. There is usually a large possibility that it will happen as volatility is aplenty in the US market. From my 2 days of trading, I made back the costs of the software. However, if you are unsure on how to best utilize VSA, my advise is that you should play on a demo and work on the principles. BE VERY SELECTIVE on what the software gives you. There are a lot of pairs to be traded. Chose nothing but the best. A lot of people whom I know trades too little pair and they whine about the lack of opportunity and enter positions of the FX pairs when there are clearly better opportunities out there. This will definitely be a problem for user of the software, but...

GBPJPY - VSA Trade Set Up Using Analytical VSA Trader

Image
I have been using the following software from Analytical trader which is rather comprehensive when using volume to detect good trading setup. If you are keen to know more about the products, please go to the link here. I will post trading setups and how should we best use the software. As opposed to other VSA software that I have used, there are lesser "highlighted" bars which means that only the more important ones are being shown! If you Look at the trading setup below, I am attempting to short @ the previous key support level which turned resistance. As highlighted by the Circle. Interestingly, prior to my short, you still don't see interests in buying which will be denoted by a circle at the bottom of the candle which gives me the confidence to go short especially the it is near a prior support turned resistance level. Most importantly, the stop is tight and it favor a good risk to reward setup to go short! Look at screenshot below.  Lastly, i...

Gd start of the month!

Scaped 5 trades today! or 6..cant remember...all in the green...however, i didnt stick to the 50,000 unti size...i scalped with 100,000 on USDCAD and AUDUSD... I hope  I can get a screenshot tomorrow.. it will be interesting to have a trading channel like twitch where all the traders congregate tgt and learn man! such an idea!!! anybody want screen me? hahaha feeling more confident in scalping now....long or short it doesnt matter..as long as you are green..5pips or 3 pips..i am happy.. and i will get out with no risk and relook the chart again. USDCAD seems like a very scalp friendly pair...but i know how tempremental this pair can be having experience it before once..I think i will stick to USDJPY with lower lot size...but the problem comes when you start buying/selling @ heavier lot size...it is like drug, you will tend not to stick to your standard trade size. DAMN YOU! Okay..not trading today liao

mkt update

Image
chart of hk,dax,nikkei and dow. all resting at key support level and we see a nice rebound today. GDP data from China isnt fantastic today BUT imo if that had happen last week, we will ser reasons fot additional sell off.However major equity market is up today and we might see respite in the eq market. The yen crosses is up as sentiment improves. We see UJ going back to 118 level. doubt we will revisit the low last week or anytime soon.

Week 2 Recap as Scalper

Made a terrible mistake to trade on Friday, and not using my computer. I feel that I have no control when I don't trade infront of computer. I will never do that again seriously. Return 3/5 of my scalping gains this week to that 1 single trade which I did on my mobile. In addition, I traded at a time frame where I am not comfortable for my trading strategy I believe. Tried to scalp my way back when I got home as I am a little furious about the losses. Funny enough, I manage to scalp close to 1/5 of my losses before another trade took away majority of the winnings from the Scalp trades I did on Friday. My thoughts : I might have the capability to consistent make money in it but scalping is high risk. When a chart ranges nicely for you to scalp, you take advantage of it. But the longer you stay in the market, the more changes you expect the momentum of the chart to be. Even though I scalp with a directional bias on a bigger time frame, I tend to scalp with a smaller time fr...

10 Pipers per day Challenge : Scalper

My reflection, or yesterday post was attributed by my mentor and confidant in trading. I remember she issued me a challenge to be green and take 10pips everyday. My thoughts then was like bullshit, 10pips a day wouldn't make you rich. It is a waste of time to read the H4 chart,h1 chart and just to make 10pips. But this 10 pips a day challenge has a new meaning in me now : If you can consistently make 10pips a day, you could be be making 50dollars and the time spent could be in a few minutes work.. I just hope to cover my daily expenses from the market. 10pips a day will pocket me at least 50dollars and I will be more than happy to take 50 dollars everyday. :P Assuming the challenge is to take 100 pips every day. Will it be easier for you to take 1 trade and win 100 pips or taking 5 trades, each averaging 20 pips? I am not greedy. My mindset has totally changed and thus I issue a 10 pips per day challenge to myself. I usually have 2-3 trades on a daily basis, each averaging 2-8 ...

Reflection when Directional Bias Scalping / Swinger

Image
It has been a while since I do reflection post. I believe that a trader grow from reflection and through reflections, they will understand themselves better. I'm back to FX and have been trading very small TF recently and using options to play the longer TF. So far so good! close to 90% winning rate! But I got to be on my toes as I always fk it up when I become profitable and decided to risk more. I aim to average about 85 winning%. I know a huge loss will definitely screw me up and it will happen and almost happen today!!! Some reflection when using the new methodology.(Scalping with a directional bias for short term and options for long term) 1) What differentiates a successful trader and one that is not successful? To have green pips everyday!!!! I looked back my old account when the pips are positive but the account value are negative? WHY? Because I overleverage and wasn't consistent on my lots size. While you maybe consistent on your products, a margin of error wo...

On Trading Psychology

From BMT, courtesy from user :  TennisOrDie    Last week I had the best trading week of my life. I finally dug myself out of the hole I created and was positive for the year.  Guess what happened this week? Lost. It. All. Did I lose it because my system failed me? No I lost it all because I was overconfident and careless. I thought I knew what I was doing now. I thought I could just go on cruise control and let the money print itself. Wrong, wrong, wrong. There are a million different systems and most of them will generate a profit depending on the trader. It's not the system that makes a difference, it's the piece of meat in between your ears that's going to make a difference. Your mind is the cause and solution to all your problems. The more I trade the more I realize the importance of psychology in trading. This is a game of who can make the most money and KEEP IT. Yes you'll lose money sometimes because your system was wrong. But most times you'll lose money b...

Had a price alert for AUDSGD @ 1.002. After the China PMI data realease, AUDSGD plunge and broke parity. If you look at minutes chart, you will first see a rebound from parity before plunging further. After the rebound from parity, i thought this is the time to entered and entered @ 1.0020. Very bad prices as i had close to a 50 pips draw down. Scary shit.. Not gonna do this kind of scalping anymore. Hopefully I will come out unharmed.
