MacHo doesn't trade. Do not listen to anything he/she says. You want to see what a real journal is like over 5 1/2 years? Look right here. This is it. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/and-they-have-a-plan-live.306838/ No-holds-barred. That's it. That is the shit. There's a song for it. Forget all these other fakers who claim they know what they are on about, because they do not put up and show up with real monies? They are pointless.
Let's get it started. I'm looking at shorting Micro Copper (MHG) should it return to 3.425. If I don't get the retracement, I'll be looking for the breakdown. My target would be the 3.296 area with a stop that would mean 1% risk on the trade. If I'm correct, then I'm looking at a 1:12 risk/reward ratio. I'm not gonna treat this one as a day trade unless it manages to reach my target within the same day.
I'm also looking at shorting the GBP/USD at around 1.121 should it reach that level. Because that level is kind of the top of the move, I'll take a smaller position size and risk only 0.5%. However, I expect to see this pair fall several hundred pips if I'm correct. I am hesitant about this one because I see corrective action occurring on the dollar but I can't NOT take a shot at it...but in a small way.
Copper is down on the weekly Current range is 3.7 - 3.2 It’s also down on the daily Current range is 3.6 - 3.2 I think it can go higher on the daily: 3.5 Would be a nice short to catch the reversal, To 3.2 and below if it continues its move lower.
Wait a minute. You've taught a few traders who made a million bucks under your guidance? You just set the bar really high with this journal.
My copper short never triggered but I did short EUR/USD at 0.9830. I'm still holding on to this one. If it can clear the 0.974 area, then I'll hold until 0.954. My risk on the trade was 15 pips and I'm now up 60+ pips — stop loss moved to breakeven.
Closed out EURUSD short at around 0.976. Price respected that support area a bit too much. No longer looking for a copper short since I don't like the price action that I saw before price reached my entry.
You are trading, or attempting to understand, too many markets. You need to Pick one. And be a Master at it. And go all-in in it, with leverage/options. And trade it boldly for growth and compounding.
