Thread: Daily Yen Scalping

    Hi Mindsphere

    You did ask me to comment so I had thought I would drop by, love the charts, just how do you write on them like that btw?

    Anyhow hats off to you scalping GJ in this manner, brave man. 1 thing that I dont understand if you've looked at in depth is trade direction with this style of trading, I really believe your returns in relation to spread cost is quite restrictive, definitely believe you need to conduct some of them for longer/more pips, paying out say 3 on spread on each is rather steep for the pip returns.

    I dont understand your attack rate but when its high you may look at a 2/3rds type affair. By this I mean take your 1000 units and split by 3 thus 333 units. When you reach 1/2 occasions risk in profit on a trade e.g 5 pips, scale out 2 thirds creating a free and let the past third run - and I mean run. You can move stop to BE in a stage to lock in the profit on the 2/3rds out. In case you have a high attack rate this method may be effective.

    All of the best

    You mentioned Stratman's rules. What exactly are they, or thoughts sharing a link where they can be found?

    Anyhow hats off to you scalping GJ in this fashion, brave guy. 1 thing that I dont know if you've looked in depth is trade management for this style of trading, I think your yields concerning spread cost is very restrictive, definitely feel you want to conduct some of these for longer/more pips, paying say 3 on disperse on each is quite steep to your pip returns.

    I dont even know your strike rate but if its high you...
    Hey Limey, thanks for dropping by! The charts are done using Jing - it is free and rather nifty - http://www.techsmith.com/jing/

    You are right about the spread price posing a challenge using this style of trading. I had been considering something similar, scaling out a small bit of the position and letting the rest run. So a lot of my entries seem to be followed by great 20-30 pip runs (or much more ). Perhaps I'd be better closing out 2/3rds at the stage when I'd normally close the transactions and leave the remainder to operate with the stop at break-even. It is efficiency would be quite easy to appraise.

    I really do need more data on my trading egy before I can really evaluate anything like this however. A hundred or so trade must do it

    In another thread now I had been musing about the way the yen pairs might pose superior opportunities due to their high spreads. I wonder if there's not any in the way of automated arbitrage going on making the moves more predictable. By this I mean, possibly pairs like EURUSD are harder to trade from a scalping perspective since there are too man people hoping to scalp the tiny edges supplied by comparable tactics to mine. People taking tiny profits at SR zones could lead to more whipsaw on such pairs thereby making the signals harder to read. Only a thought.

    Without further ado, here are my trades for the day (total 20pips):







    I also made some investigations of trades I did not take because I wasn't actively trading at the time:

    Had a fairly poor day. Didn't lose entire, but didn't follow my own rules and obtained far too emotionally influenced by my initial loss (to get a trade I should not have taken). Up 2.8 pips for the day.
