Review of Strategic Tips on Milking the Major Currency Pairs in Live Forex Trading

[forexgreenland]

Hi Folks,
This is Stallion,veteran forex trader and mentor. I would be reviewing strategic tips on how the major currency pairs can be milked. Though I specialize in gbpusd, other pairs would also be taken into consideration during our analysis.

It has been theorized that your state of mind will dictate your trading methods. Experts in the field of trading psychology have pinpointed three main states of mind and how each has a direct effect on a trader's profitability.

These three mind states are "having", "doing" and "being". Psychologists have noted that those new to trading start with a "having" state of mind. As they gain more experience, they move on to a "doing" state of mind. The pinnacle of profitability occurs when a trader moves into the last and final "being" frame of mind.



The "Having" Mind Set
A novice trader may focus primarily on profits. In this "having" state of mind, they are out of sync with the markets. They are blinded by their obsession to obtain the all mighty dollar and what it can afford them. Trading is not viewed as a job that must be mastered, but as a vehicle to escape from a world of mediocrity.

Many traders are in the business to make money, as well as they should be. However, if they are blinded by greed, they tend to take uncalculated risks. Looking at the potential payoff without carefully calculating market trends and other factors is a recipe for disaster.

It is impossible to graduate to a high performance level when you concentrate on "having" instead of how the game is won. If you trade in a "having" frame of mind, you may become frustrated when profits are not immediately forthcoming. With frustration comes a lack of focus. Without the ability to focus, you cannot gain knowledge from your experience on the trading field.

Other negative consequences of this mindset are feelings of frustration and anger. Frustration stemming from a lack of expected profits and anger directed at oneself or the market in general. These adverse emotions will only cause further decline in profitability. Without witnessing gains from one's efforts, an individual may not give their best and may be tempted to "throw in the towel".



The "Doing" State of Mind
If an individual continues on to trade another day, they will eventually move from a "having" to a "doing" state of mind. Learning that there is more to trading than the amassing of money, a trader will turn their focus on learning new methods of trading and what does and doesn’t work.

This state of mind is still primarily centered on how to turn a profit. Although a "doing" mind state is essential to becoming a seasoned adept trader, the main focus is still short of the mark. It is crucial to know what works and what doesn't. However, a skilled trader will tell you there is more to the business then choosing one method and using it arbitrarily to make trades across the board.

Becoming a trader of means requires not only a winning attitude, but also a fine honing of trading skills. To develop these skills, you must make trades using various methods under a wide spectrum of market conditions. Only then can you develop the needed intuition to master the art of trading.



Pinnacle of Profitability: The "Being" State of Mind
A successful trader almost instinctively knows how to make a trade using the best method available for the current market trend and/or condition. This ability does not occur overnight. It is only accomplished through perseverance, knowledge of various trading methods and learning which one works given a particular market condition.

No trade is ever a "sure thing". However, a profitable synchronicity almost naturally occurs when you are faced with a potential trade, have a feel for the current market trends and conditions, and utilize the method best suited for a potential payoff. This "being" state of mind ultimately lends itself to long-term success in the high stakes of trading.

Hi Folks,
We thank God for seeing us through another week and bringing us to a brand new week.More profits ahead,fellas.

I think I understand

My question is that your numbers always have a 1.5 : 1 risk/reward ratio but in your posts you talk about 2.5 : 1, can you

elaborate?

Hi, The RumpledOne,
It seems I've been misquoted in a way...from what can be remembered,I'm not sure we talk about 2.5 :1 ratio in my

posts, just a 1:1 and 2:1 risk reward ratio.Maybe you could check again and help bring that quote for us to see. But in

actual fact, I'm trying to write on Risk Management(including Risk to Reward Ratios) in my subsequent posts.
Stay tuned, mon ami.

Now, I am not clear that I fully understand.

Neither do I ,mon ami...Seems you are about to RUMPLE UP my brain cells, RUMPLED ONE...lol...

Anyways, from what I can see, you are using SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE (or is PIVOT POINTS?) on the 15min

GBPUSD chart. But at the point where you( or the robot) wrote ''1.8681..go Long) was quite erroneous because you

would have lost close to 81 pips if the trade was triggered at that region.
The long bearish red candle have broken below the 1.861 support and the greenish bullish candle next to it had a low below

the LOW of the previous bearish red candle. So there was no reason, technical analysiswise, to go long at that

region,RUMPLED ONE.

At the point where you (or the robot) wrote ''1.8607 SUPPORT'', the long red bearish candlebar has already broken it,

turning SUPPORT TO RESISTANCE at that point. And if you could observe, price did not in any way CLOSE above

''1.8607 SUP'' line to warrant a decision to buy or go long at that point. That point was then a RESISTANCE POINT

like a ceiling above. What would have being on our mind during price action was to SELL...GO SHORT. And you

would have made up to 81 pips from that bearish bias.

I sure hope you didnt take that long trade that was shown on that chart, RUMPLED ONE. If it were an Expert

Advisor(robot) that triggered it, it wouldnt have been funny,my friend, cos of the losses that might have been incurred.

I want to give thanks to Steve Nison for bringing the ''CANDLESTICK PATTERN'' to the Western Hemisphere from

the East (Japan). And I recommend the book for anyone serious in making money from trading.

Please feel free to ask any questions or make comments.
Thanks...
Stallion..

[09:04:15] Stalion : hmmmmm....

[09:05:01] caprica1 : summat has got to have happened to make it drop like that so quick.

[09:05:07] caprica1 : any news?

[09:05:45] Stalion : report all red for the euro

[09:06:38] paulsimon : 100 pips..fall

[09:06:50] caprica1 : and it's still dropping. All the EUR charts had a big drop around the same time.

[09:07:24] bros1234 : news is not ur friiend

[09:07:26] orkinv : any news

[09:09:39] caprica1 : 2008.08.26 10:02:24 PRESS RELEASE: SEB: Nordic Outlook: On The Cusp Of A Global

Recession - Sharp Interest Rate Cuts In Europe

[09:10:12] wilmart : ok

[09:11:31] Stalion : Germany is in deep turd

[09:11:55] orkinv : wow

[09:12:21] caprica1 : lol. Turd! I've not heard that word used for years. lol

[09:13:41] Stalion : lol....euroyen might as well go down to 160.12..if care's not taken...

[09:14:10] paulsimon : 160.15 is dailyfx's recommended buy point

[09:15:34] Stalion : hmmmm, dats the support region

[09:18:05] wilmart : welcome masif

[09:19:58] Stalion : some traders might hold out their losses till it reaches 160.12 and wait for price to reverse back to

where they entered earlier....anything lower than 160.12 is a sure thing sign that your trade aint working and you should

get out...remember, guys

[09:20:53] Stalion : no 100% perfection in trading, like in life...news or any unforseen circumstances can turn ur plans

upside down..like euro's doing...lol

[09:22:17] paulsimon : u cant win them all.. its all good for equilibrium

[09:22:24] caprica1 : yeah me 4. Stopped out like a mutha!

[09:22:56] Stalion : its better....40 pip loss feels more soothing than 150 pip loss, right?

[09:23:14] paulsimon : yea.. most definitely..

[09:23:26] masif1 : agreed stalion

[09:23:30] wilmart : yeah...

[09:23:41] paulsimon : i just hope we can earn it back today..

[09:24:02] orkinv : yes ooo

[09:24:05] orkinv : agreed

[09:24:31] Stalion : but if you have a large account, you can ride it out and wait for price to go back....with calculated

risk, i mean

[09:24:37] orkinv : we will paul

[09:24:52] wilmart : sure

[09:26:45] Stalion : any bets that the UK BBA Mortgage Approvals would come out positive by 9.30a.m?

[09:29:06] wilmart : Uk BBA seems a no trade lol

[09:29:27] masif1 : lol

[09:30:12] Stalion : 1 minute to go.....if no trade, den euro decline might fizzle out before d 160.12 region....if a positive

report, we might likely see a turnaround..

[09:31:41] orkinv : ok stalion we are here

[09:31:56] caprica1 : the tension! lol

[09:32:05] masif1 : hi all

[09:32:50] masif1 : got in on the eurjpy at 160.63

[09:33:02] bros1234 : news messed up eu and dragged gu with it

[09:33:14] masif1 : s/l at 160.23

[09:33:15] Stalion : no trade.....the same data came out on the BBA Mortgage Approvals

[09:33:21] bros1234 : we go back to the charts now

[09:34:33] Stalion : govt interventions(central banks), news releases tends to disrupt the orderly flow of the charts once in

a while....anything can happen,guys...

[09:35:08] bros1234 : Expected the unexpected

[10:16:24] russy : stalion has ej bottom out

[10:25:16] Stalion : if its indeed bottomed out, we put a buy stop @ 160.72...1st target @ 161.20...2nd target @

161.58...40 pip stop loss away...

[10:28:53] russy : stalion . a buy stop @160.72? is that not far from market price . pls i m new to this

[10:29:40] paulsimon : yea, only at that level can u confirm an upward bias

[10:30:20] paulsimon : stallion ill handle this

[10:31:32] tahiti : Thanks PS. What sort of limits and stops are typically used?

[10:34:02] paulsimon : there is a buy stop signal

[10:36:08] Stalion : the buy stop is used wen u anticipate that the market price is going towards ur bias....our bias now is

bullish, since we feel the market has bottomed out...at 160.72, it would have to break 3 pyschological resistance barriers

at dat point...

[forexgreenland]

Helloo everyone, hope you'all having a great weekend..We didnt post any profits Thursday and yesterday due to the fact

that the dollar pushed the euro and other currencies lower yesterday after the second quarter GDP surprised on the

upside against expectations. After some considerable low volume range trading(attributed to the upcoming US Labour

Day weekend), the dollar rebounded on the GDP news, but it couldn't hold onto the gains, as the euro and the rest of the

majors mounted a comeback in the overnight markets.Bottom line, we scratch off those trades and say NEXT!!.

[14:25:38] fxjedi : me too

[14:26:51] caprica1 : althugh my original trading balance of £300 is now down to £51. I may have to deposit some more

[14:33:06] caprica1 : its gone up alot since this morning

[14:42:33] klho83 : crude oil drop to 112.83

[15:14:03] caprica1 : how come all the jpy pairs have spiked? Has there been some news?

[15:38:52] masif1 : all the gbp currency pairs gapped this morning

[16:00:54] caprica1 : gbpusd sell stop just been riggered.

[16:03:00] eugen3000 : mine has not been triggered

[16:04:58] caprica1 : how'd set you up eugen?

[16:09:46] eugen3000 : sell stop at 1.7982, the lowest low at mb trading was 1.7984

[16:10:41] takbal : I see the same as eugen

[16:11:01] takbal : Stalion's entry level was not crossed yet

[16:11:30] takbal : actually, the price bounced from there, showing that it is important...

[16:12:11] caprica1 : I'm with alpar, the low of 1.7982 was triggered.

[16:13:34] eugen3000 : i see cap, stal is also at alpari???

[16:14:31] takbal : maybe you should add a couple of pips to the trade in the future...

[16:16:27] caprica1 : if Stal is with Alpari, and he uses their prices, I may as well stick with it.

[16:22:52] eugen3000 : brb

[16:28:52] caprica1 : i'm almost stopped out again.

[16:30:37] masif1 : i've triggered on the short on GBPUSD

[16:31:33] masif1 : f*** we got stopped out

[17:10:30] albashir : salaaam.....Ramadan Kareem to all....

[23:36:36] takbal : Staliol thanx for the GBPUSD today, it was a great call...



[23:37:47] takbal : I truly wonder what is the trick to predict moves like this

[23:38:42] takbal : must be some simple unwritten rule which everybody agrees on...

[23:39:58] eugen3000 : great trade with the gbpusd sell, thank you, im going to sleep now, bye


[08:40:20] masif1 : salaams all

[08:40:49] masif1 : hey takbal which gbpusd call are you refering to?

[08:41:22] masif1 : [22:36:36] takbal : Staliol thanx for the GBPUSD today, it was a great call...

[08:48:52] Stalion : hi traders..Good Morning on a lovely teuday

[08:49:51] Stalion : hope you made like 36 pips from gbpusd call yesterday on our sell

[08:50:56] eugen3000 : yes, exactly 35 pips for me

[08:51:11] eugen3000 : are the other signals still valid stal? i mean the usdjpy

[08:51:36] Stalion : i knew it took a while but well, we had to have a little patience,guys...

[08:51:44] masif1 : stalion both cap and I got stopped out on the gbpusd short yesterday and therefore lost 40pips

[08:51:59] masif1 : around 1531 yesterday

[08:54:56] masif1 : hello?

[08:55:44] Stalion : how come?

[08:55:50] Stalion : how come, masif? at 15.31, the sell stop trigger have not been hit...

[08:56:05] Stalion : @ 1.7982

[08:59:27] Stalion : u didnt add your 3 pip spread, did you?

[09:01:57] masif1 : your right stalion

[09:02:10] masif1 : we didnt add the 3pips spread

[09:02:19] masif1 : we are both using alpari as well

[09:20:10] takbal : hi guys

[09:20:26] takbal : masif I refer to the GBPUSD at 1.7982

[09:20:57] takbal : for me it was triggered at around 11pm

[09:30:29] Stalion : sorry i didnt have the chance to give you guys the rest of the targets on gbpusd...cable is likely going

down to 1.7592

[09:30:49] Stalion : i'm doing the analysis in a moment to get a good entry

[09:40:05] fxjedi : hi all

[09:40:43] fxjedi : thanks stal, for the cable call yesterday,

[09:41:17] fxjedi : never knew i cud bank up to 35 plus pips after the boring moments

[09:45:31] fxjedi : Australia cuts interest rates for first time since 2001 Australia's central bank has cut interest rates for

the first time in seven years as a housing slowdown threatens to bring economic growth to a halt.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=

[09:46:49] Stalion : any news on the gbpusd?

[09:48:45] takbal : there was one at 8:30 GMT, UK PMI construction 40.5 vs 36 exp

[09:48:55] takbal : but no reactions

[09:50:54] takbal : Stalion what do you think of EURGBP? We have our saving in GBP which we want to use in a

euro-related currency later...

[09:51:22] fxjedi : EUR, GBP being sold by Europe investors as concerns over economic slowdown in Europe linger,

says trader at Tokyo securities company; "unless very good news related to the European economy crops up, players

won't likely buy back the euro and the pound."

[09:51:25] fxjedi : Focus now on Europe stock, crude oil price moves. Adds it seems some players have already started

selling EUR, GBP to adjust positions ahead of BOE, ECB rate decisions this week.

[09:51:36] takbal : and I am finding an entry point to place a long-term hedge against further weakening as it looks

evident

[09:54:17] Stalion : yeah....seems everyone's selling euros and gbp....

[09:59:30] takbal : yep, but I am interested in the trade between the two... as I need my GBP later converted into EUR

[10:13:27] Stalion : sell stop for gbpusd @ 1.7840,1st target @ 1.7659

[10:13:57] Stalion : 2nd target @ 1.7592



[10:17:41] Stalion : hi takbal....on the EURGBP pair, price might likely reach up to 0.8254 before going back down...

[10:18:35] takbal : thx Stalion a lot!

[10:19:15] Stalion : no probs....had to take it from the monthly timeframe, so it might take a lil while before it gets fulfilled'

[10:19:59] takbal : sell triggered

[10:21:42] Stalion : cool

[10:23:42] Stalion : lets get ready to rock in roll ,guys.....36 pips yesterday....more than a 100 pips going down for now,

guys

[10:24:12] klho83 : thx stal

[10:26:28] takbal : only fundamental risk is some minor USD news at 14:00 GMT

[10:29:57] takbal : whoo... you are right, again

[10:34:30] takbal : Stalion how sure are you on this call? It is a huge R/R so I am curious whether to risk more and add

to the position

[10:51:49] fxjedi : looks like gu is still going down to stalion's target

[10:52:38] takbal : is yet almost 150 pips away!

[10:54:43] fxjedi : am getting pretty much exciteds, tak,150 pips in just 1 day?

[10:55:30] takbal : looks like Stalion thinks its possible...

[10:57:07] fxjedi : lol, from experience,anything is possible in fx,tak

[11:01:03] Stalion : hi takbal, am quite sure on this call, though nothing is 100% perfect in trading...our risk to reward

ratio is 40:181, which translates to 1:4.5

[forexgreenland]

hi mate
how can i get that jacko trend?
thx
mason

Is this AKA Rumpled One, Code Muncher, and who knows how many other aliases?

The same one who posts meaningless indicators and drivel all over forex land, attempting to impress anyone who'll

listen?

Hi paradoxical, its not polite to talk about someone that way. A chap requested for help and he was the only one that

offered to willingly assist. For that, I think he's a nice bloke, even if I'm just knowing him. If you got any grouse against

him, its better to meet him personally and settle it. For me, its all about making money from trading.

[14:01:34] Stalion : hi all

[14:05:43] Stalion : like we said earlier, price on the gbp pairs are looking to go down around the resistance area,...so we

should be preparing to go short

[14:10:39] eugen3000 : ok stal, im also short biased, but not in any positions as of now

[14:11:06] takbal : the same here

[14:13:41] eugen3000 : sounds great

[14:18:17] takbal : Stal do you think it will drag up EURGBP as well? or eurusd is going to fall? any of them should if gu

goes down...

[14:48:19] masif1 : which one we short on?

[14:52:07] eugen3000 : not yet masif

[15:00:10] Stalion : we sell gbpusd @ 1.7800, 1st target @ 1.7770

[15:02:14] caprica1 : 40 pip stop?

[15:03:42] Stalion : 30 pip stop...for 1;1 risk to reward ratio

[15:04:17] Stalion : To clarify on management of our trades so we dont give away profits....

[15:05:08] Stalion : please take half profits when the trade is 20 pips in your favour...then put your stop loss to entry...

[15:06:29] Stalion : i've said it before and i'll still say it again ...lock your profits after +20 pips, so at least you leave away

with gains at the end of the day..

[15:07:56] masif1 : did i miss the trigger

[15:07:58] eugen3000 : sounds good for me Stal!

[15:09:02] masif1 : i take it i got the alert too late

[15:09:46] eugen3000 : you are Stal, +20 locked in, sl at be at the rest, thank you!

[15:10:29] Stalion : like our pal, masif...hope you understand....even if you are using just 1 minilot,close 0.5 off when +20

pips in profits, then allow the rest to ride...if 2 minilots, take 1 minilot off, den allow the other 1 minilot to ride...WHILE

putting your sl to ini

[15:10:45] caprica1 : yeah got here too late. Never mind. Always another trade.

[15:11:48] caprica1 : or can I put a sell stop on it?

[15:13:36] Stalion : 2nd target should be 1.7761

[15:14:06] Stalion : 3rd target should be 1.7735

[15:14:52] caprica1 : can I get in @ 1.7761 with a first target of 1.7735 then stal?

[15:17:06] Stalion : am not sure, cap, until the first target is hit...remember your risk wud be higher since you didnt start in

early..

[15:19:56] caprica1 : got you stal.

[15:21:11] Stalion : 3 more pips to go to our 1st target of 1.7770

[15:23:07] Stalion : 1st target hit..!

[15:23:18] masif1 : thanks stal understood

[15:24:30] Stalion : 2nd target to go @ 1.7761

[15:24:35] caprica1 : no probs

[15:25:48] Stalion : remember masif, if you are now at +20, kindly take off half profits for now...

[15:25:52] Stalion : 2nd target hit!

[15:26:32] Stalion : 3rd target to go @ 1.7731

[15:27:03] klho83 : Targat 2 hit

[15:27:46] masif1 : damn it

[15:27:51] masif1 : missed that as well

[15:27:57] eugen3000 : super!

[15:28:05] caprica1 : has the price just gone through the 64% fib Stal?

[15:29:10] Stalion : dammit, masif....ur breaking ma heart again with ur tears emoticon...dont tell me u lost again!!!

[15:29:29] masif1 : nope didnt get in the trade

[15:29:40] masif1 : both the first call or the second

[15:29:47] Stalion : 64% fib? i dont understand, cap...

[15:30:39] masif1 : close to hititng the thrid target

[15:30:45] Stalion : 6 more pips to our 3rd target point

[15:31:05] caprica1 : i have put fib lines on my chart from yesterday's low and high, and the price has just gone past the

64% fib line.

[15:31:35] caprica1 : Stal I entered oon the 2nd target and used 3rd as my 1st. Just hit. Thanks.

[15:31:56] Stalion : way to go, caprica....

[15:32:12] Stalion : 3rd target hit!

[15:32:12] masif1 : well done cap

[15:32:21] masif1 : i was too late for both

[15:32:35] caprica1 : muchas gracias senors

[15:33:32] Stalion : 69 pips for now....



[15:33:52] caprica1 : for now? like the sound of that. lol

[15:34:41] caprica1 : it still looks like its heading for the overnight high of 1.7706

[15:34:46] caprica1 : overnight low sorry.

[15:35:00] Stalion : well, we havent closed all trades yet...putting a 15 to 25 pip trailing stop loss would be prudent

[15:36:03] caprica1 : i closed out at the 3rd target point.

[15:36:17] masif1 : trailing stop loss - thats a good idea ;-)

[15:36:20] Stalion : 4th target @ 1.7705

[15:36:26] masif1 : hey i'm smiling :-)

[15:36:51] Stalion : 5th target @ 1.7676

[15:36:53] caprica1 : it's certainly going for that .7706 number

[15:37:22] caprica1 : a 5th target!

[15:37:49] masif1 : fantastic guys - thats nearly 100pips!

[15:38:19] Stalion : yea....why leave money on the table if price looks like its going to give some more...cap?

[15:38:30] masif1 : i didn;t get in on the second so i'm just sitting by the side lines cheering you guys on

[15:38:44] Stalion : jus apply ur profit mgt strategy and lock in at every step...

[15:38:46] caprica1 : it's just retraded back to .7734, maybe I could get back in

[15:39:35] Stalion : worst scenario, you come out breakeven...

[15:40:18] caprica1 : yep. So i get in at market and ride to 5th target?

[15:41:06] masif1 : you in cap?

[15:41:35] caprica1 : not yet, stupid iphone! lol

[15:41:35] Stalion : opportunities like this dont come everyday in the markets, masif...but when it does come, you got to

be ready for it and milk it for all its worth..

[15:43:00] caprica1 : its doing its best to go back up.

[15:43:48] Stalion : well, cap, you could put a sell stop below a pychological number like 1.7750 or 1.7735,or 1.7720,

then ride it down...

[15:45:05] caprica1 : so may be 1.7734 maybe?

[15:47:21] caprica1 : I'm not gonna chance it. I can't control the trades properly on the iphone. My guy is telling me not

to chance it.

[15:47:34] caprica1 : So i'll be happy with my pips so far, and fight another day.

[15:48:54] caprica1 : that was meant to say my gut is telling me not to chance it.

[15:51:11] Stalion : yea....momentum is kind of slowing down , after dat 69 pip downpour

[15:56:27] Stalion : its only a matter of time though, before price on the gbpusd gets down to our 4th and 5th

target...momentum might now be slow, but it should get there...

[16:00:03] Stalion : Prices, like everything else in Nature, will stop sinking only when they reach rock bottom against

which to push off back up.

[16:12:07] masif1 : gbpusd still going down

[16:13:03] Stalion : 4th target hit!!

[16:16:14] masif1 : damn missed out on on these pipsstalion can you please send me the email alerts to my metafour.com

email address please?

[16:19:03] masif1 : 5th target hit and still going down!!!!!

[16:22:34] Stalion : the thing, masif, you are afraid of losses...when a trader allows fear to overcome him due to some

losses in a row, he tends to shy away from opportunities when they come...fine, we've been stopped out on some of our

trades but that doesnt mean the next

[16:23:45] Stalion : one is going to be the same....until we start getting used to losses, we are not there yet...

[16:24:30] klho83 : i'm out!

[16:25:22] Stalion : how many pips did you make from our gbpusd call, klho83?

[16:25:26] masif1 : even for the entry at the 2nd target

[16:26:40] Stalion : you could've gotten in at our 3rd,4th or 5th targets, masif...though with higher risks..

[16:27:19] masif1 : your right but the damn account wouldn;t allow me as insufficient funds

[16:27:30] klho83 : Add along the way i lost count

[16:32:01] klho83 : Thanks StaLION!!

[16:32:31] Stalion : masif, am afraid you just missed a 124 pip ride...and still counting with a trailing stop loss

Interesting stuff Stallion.. there's no no doubt that your particular state of mind can affect your trading style..the trick is to become a non thinking, non emotional machine!

Lol, Kat123,a non thinking, non emotional machine? Hope you arent referring to the Frankenstein monster...
