I dont have hard and fast rules around the taking of the admin fee, normally 20 t0 30 pips but totally negotiable.

that was excellent trade but.... weed is evil :) unfortunately today we'll start with gap up and probably achieve your stop, this is why I never left my positions on weekend :/
take care

My Stop losses are set at 50% of the position for each stop loss. I like to give my trades a chance to move a little but keep my Money Management in check. Ther Admin fee is a small number that I like to take at say 20 to 30 pips where I normally cash in 2 to 3% of the total posistion its a little something for the time I invest in the trade in case it goes against me. I like to think of it as

2010-03-25T20:11:19.900+10:00

Hi Ironman, I notice you have 2 stop loss levels. What % of the trade do you close at stop 1? Also, What is admin fee? Very good blog here, thanks, P

M4 - Thanks for your comment whilst I agree with the inverse H&S, I would also say its not overly pronounced and obvious like some are, and given that the market will have fallen close to 500 pips by the time it gets into the low 120's then I think the pro money will definitely look for the orders at 119.90, but yeh that H&S could yield some bounce.

2010-03-20T09:52:56.687+10:00

good entry, I would set profit3 or 4 about 120.66 as there will be many players trading for inverse head & shoulders.
cheers

More of this Simon, good stuff. I was hunting the other night trying to grab that EU bottom. I wanted it on the retracement of 1.3567. Can you do a blog on intraday trading timing? Just curious what you would have to say there using smaller moving averages and so forth

Simon, Lr here. By far i like this post for your words of wisdom. Really too many a times I observe traders who are not equipped with proper understanding of market and psychology trying to scalp CT.
I have somehow manage to hit to right direction of the trend this days and really ride it for a few hundred pips thanks to your constant guidance and advice.

I'man is absolutely right. It is also my belief that NFP day is the most difficult data release to trade, because the report is intricate and difficult to analyze quickly, as opposed to a rate announcement which is either up, down, or unchanged. 12/4's NFP release startled dollar bears with the "headline" number of -11,000, this following ADP's number of -169,000 on
