Battlefield
Lot's of scalp trades. I would like to pinpoint second and third. On second I immediately felt trapped hitting short at the bottom. So I exit it and reversed direction because of that feeling, if I felt it everybody in my position did also, so I ride on their covering.

I like it man, especially the quick reversal! I also like hearing things in terms or R multiples.
Hey, I started following your blog today. Do you have somewhere on your website summarized your trading style, rules? I just wonder, what stop loss are you using? Or what SL did you use on these particular trades of today? Thanks a lot for the great reading and inspiration ;)
Yeah orion R is thing that will give me better overall look on how am I doing, what is average loss or win.
Neon, sorry but I don't have summary of trading rules. I don't have rules :D
SL today was basically 20 pips as R was 20 pips, but that doesn't mean that I will stay in losing trade until -20. It's variable from trade to trade and how the things are developing after my entry. Also knowing myself it's not uncommon to lose more than 1R. But I need some reference point.
NEON- it will serve you greatly to go back and read all of FX's posts. they are amazingly inspirational and a delight to read.
My take on his personal style is that it is discretionary using both breakouts and reversal trading with support and resistance.
I can say this: He knows himself very well.
Thank you FX and OrionMachine. I will definitely read all the old posts. Great inspiration from both of you, keep it going please :)
Quick thinking on the reversal, FX! While others are simply heaving a sigh of relief or busy cursing the market after getting out, you saw an opportunity and went right back in to profit from it. Sure takes a lot of experience, courage, and a cool-head to do that. You're definitely sounding a lot more in control. Excellent work :-)
Thanks Jules, sometimes is like that sometimes it isn't. But I guess I can't mess with learning curve. More of this kind of trading will prevail over the years.
