Let me know if this make sense.

You say you’ve managed to avoid some losing trades by using your own judgement this week, so well done for that but you have also missed some good winners.

If you had posted the buy signal for CAD/JPY @ 88.30 yesterday (16.00 bar) which has now hit 8950 3rd target you would be 240 pips in profit. Did you not post it because the pair has lost 405 pips so far this week and caused a psychological block on trading it?

I know you gave up trading GBP/USD because it gave some losses one week but it has given up 300 pips on the first sell signal of the week hitting all 3 targets and also hit 1st target on the 2nd signal of the week and has hit the first target from the 8am signal this morning so total gain this week on Cable alone is 400 pips. It also gave similar pips last week.

I see there have been no signals for CHF/JPY after the first loss this week and the pair have given up 120 on the sell order 16.00 bar on the 8th and 120 on the buy signal from the 16.00 on the 10th. So this week total for missed the pair 240 pips.

So total of missed pips this week because you didn’t post the signals is around 880.

Please don’t think I’m having a go but I think you should stick to the plan 100% so the followers of this great site have a good chance to make some serious pips.

Trading all the signals last actually ended the week with 730 pips in profit this was because all the big moves happened on Friday after you had given up emailing the signals. Well done for getting back in the saddle this week.

Please let me know your thoughts.

All signals are basically Pending Orders, waiting to be triggered at the entry price mentioned.
They are not market orders.

The best way to find out what order type you need for your platform is to contact broker's support people via chat. They are generally very helpful even if you are on demo.

The reason I do is because it is part of my trading plan and my goal is not to deviate away from it. Also it helps me to avoid looking at price constantly.

Again if you keep making too many discretionary decisions how would you really know what works and what doesn't.

But it also happened a week or so ago where he called to move the stop, when I wasn't here for an hour or so and missed that call. When I saw the call an hour late, price had already passed the stop price (and next bar he reported closing out) but I was still in and it had retraced back towards profit. When I saw the call, I did go ahead and move my stop to the point he called, but it never went back to the stop out, and went all the way to all three targets.

And you just gotta LOVE when THAT happens!!
