hallo Andy,

thank you for posting your trades. It´s great to follow you also one day after you´ve done your business.

I´m also from a small village near Munich: between Bad - Tölz and Garmisch. Do you know Benediktbeuern/Bichl?

Of course, you don´t have to answer.

I´ve a good contrakt to Karsten and Björn in Germany and I love to follow the Trading of Joe.

So, keep on posting your trades - thank you!

best regards manfred

 

Hi ADLE,

very difficult to answer and it really depends on your style of living but I would guess about 1/2 of the costs in the US.

Imported stuff is more expensive of course but on the other hand you get someone cleaning your apartment, washing your stuff and cooking for you for around $100 a month.

But all in all it's a very nice place to live!

Regards,

Andy

 

Servus Manfred,

yes I know where Benediktbeuern is. I am from Mühldorf, about 60km from Munich.

Regards,

Andy

Hi Andy,

I know you trade 10-/30-/60-minute charts. What do you think of 5-minute charts? Is it also suitable for the Ross Hook and 1-2-3 setups or is it more subject to whipsaws?

Johnny

 

Hi Johnny,

I personally think smaller time frames are always more difficult to trade then the longer ones. It's because you have less time to think about and plan your trade. The stress factor is much higher and a lot of trader over trade with the small time frames. I also use 5 min to enter whenever the market is too strong for 10 minutes. There is nothing wrong using smaller time frames. Just make sure not only your broker gets rich ;-)

happy trading,

andy
