dirtydan Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hey guys I am looking at keeping a journal of trades to see if my new strategy is a winner or just a trend chaser so I am going to be posting current trades I am in and would enjoy any type input on whether you think I am wrong or right today I shorted the usd/jpy at 96.50 and I am looking to take profit at the 94.28 level. http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5754/chartg.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William1713006271 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal How do you draw the fibo? afaik, fibo is drawn from swing high low. But it seems you have drawn it differently. Could you share your way? Regards, Quote Ore no Shinka Hikari yo Hayai. Zen Uchi o Nani no Mono Ore no Shinka Chuito Kore Nai. Ten no Michi yo Iki.

dirtydan Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal Hey Guys so far so good I placed my stoploss at break even so this is now a free trade and I am up 80+ pips and the timer is still overbought so I might take profit +250 pips. I am also looking at another trade I just need a confirmation.:mrgreen: http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/2637/chart.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydan Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal Hello again everyone I saw a good trade setup on the eur/chf I was able to enter at the 61.8 fib so this should be a good trade I set my stop loss for 1.5240 and my take profit at 1.5020 I shorted at 1.5183 :mrgreen: http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2637/chart.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydan Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal This trade worked out really well. I got a little over 55 pips http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/5821/aster.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydan Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal I think I am going to take a short on the usd/cad when it gets to the 1.1130 level. What do you guys think? I also noticed the crossing of the stochastic so this should be good if it gets there. :arrow: http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2637/chart.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydan Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal Well I guess this strategy is a keeper I am already up +100 pips that makes a total of 260 pips on just the trades I have posted here and this one isn't even over. :mrgreen: http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5821/aster.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William1713006271 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal That's great. Congratz for you. I think it will benefit us all if you could share how you take the trades, such as how to draw the fibo, when to enter and exit, etc. Newbies like me could benefit from it, while experiences trades could share their opinion on your system so you could benefit more. Some people might even be intrigued to create an EA from your system. :D Regards, Quote Ore no Shinka Hikari yo Hayai. Zen Uchi o Nani no Mono Ore no Shinka Chuito Kore Nai. Ten no Michi yo Iki.

I took a total of 6 trades this week and made a total of 836 pips so stay tuned. :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William1713006271 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal I understand that some traders use gut feeling to enter and exit market. You also shared your screen shot, posted some comments about your images, which could help people understand how you take the trade, plus you don't advertise any of all. So basically it's still a good tread that we want to have this sub forum. Unlike some people who keep posting signals without giving any explanations at all. Keep posting the images please, that really help newbies like me :D Regards, I think I am going to take a short on the usd/cad when it gets to the 1.1130 level. What do you guys think? I also noticed the crossing of the stochastic so this should be good if it gets there. :arrow: http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2637/chart.gif Quote Ore no Shinka Hikari yo Hayai.

From about 1.3900 down to 1.3800 and up again to 1.4100 Must have 100 pips SL at least to gain the profit to TP about 1.4100 So....waiting for the latest news from u Jack....and you too Will... http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt90/RoelsMajor/abhafsx-eurusd-h4.gif Quote "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet!".

William1713006271 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal I already exited the trade for 99 pips profit with trail stop. My master said that "the 1st rule in trading is do not let a winner become a loser". A very nice advice for newbie like me. :D Anyway, price is moving up again. Let's see where it will go. Think Dirty Dan's method is more robust, big SL and bigger TP. Regards, Quote Ore no Shinka Hikari yo Hayai. Zen Uchi o Nani no Mono Ore no Shinka Chuito Kore Nai. Ten no Michi yo Iki.

dirtydan Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal Thanx for the kind words. I am at a crossroad with the eur/usd because it could always go up to the 78.6 then fall but my gut is telling me we have some downward movement in store especially becasue of the over bought stochastic. What do you guys think? I like to check my charst against the Oan tt system and it is also awaiting a down move and the timer is 3rd level overbought. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5351/yeng.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydan Posted July 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4058/chartb.gif Here are the 3 positions I am holding from Friday I am in profit from the first 2 about 30 pips and I see we are in an uptrend so I will take profit from first two positions at 62.60 and will take profit for the third position at 63 :-bd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtydan Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/4977/chartd.gif Well it didn't get to 63 but 62.90 was good enough and with all 3 positions I still got about 250+ pips :-bd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abba Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal Interesting trades you are showing in your journal - I am really curious as to your method - are you using the same method/strategy in all your trades or different ones?

dirtydan Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Re: DirtyDan's journal hi dirtydan, you made a good journal. are you still using oan4x indicator? how the result? *_* I had a good result with the 2nd version of the Oan4x timing indicator but sometimes it would show the exact opposite of what my fibs were telling me. I also use the zero lag stochastic which works well with fibs it help to assure me of a good bounce especially if I take a position off a fib. I usually take my first position off of the 76.4 fib then my 2ns off the 61.8 and my last off of the 50% fib. I have just been experimenting with the cc divergence indi and I have to say I am loving it because it doesn't seem to lag it is kind of like a mix between a stochastic and the cog stochastic. :)>- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes abba I am using the same method throughout my journal the only reason my charts may look different is because I experiment with indicators that show overbought and over sold areas but the way I fib is the same from page 1 until now. I have always loved fibs but alone they can be tricky so I always look for an indicator to give me some reassurance that I got in at the right place and at the right time. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
