Forex trading 16-20 April 2012

By admin on April 20th, 2012

This is the first week I’m using MACD crossover. The result is pretty good. In the middle of the week, I got some bad results:

  1. 4/17/2012 GBP/USD 1.5887 sell 1.5917 -30 -9
  2. 4/17/2012 EUR/usd 1.3126 sell 1.3154 -28 -5.6
  3. 4/19/2012 AUD/USD 1.03801 buy 1.03481 -32 -9.6
  4. 4/19/2012 AUD/USD 1.03741 buy 1.03491 -25 -7.5
  5. 4/19/2012 GBP/USD 1.6025 sell 1.6037 -12 -3.6
It was bad and I have a feeling that this won’t work. I wonder if we can get rich by trading forex. After that loss, I learn one more thing.
  1. Trade MACD crossover with gap more than 200 or -200. If the gap between the slow and fast MACD is too narrow, then the trend is not good.
  2. I’m also starting to use H4 chart. Not sure if it is a good idea. Basically I’m trading with smaller pips, so futher Stop loss and take profit. I’m not sure if H4 is better than H1.
  3. I also learn a new thing about taking profit. The idea is to lock some profit when you have it. So for example after reaching 45 pips, set SL 30 pips from that price. So no mather what you will still have the 15 pips.

So overal this is is great. 80 pips profit.
