Best intentions didn't last long

I started at 3.18pm and finished at 3.41pm for +2 pips off one sell trade and one buy trade - both of which were just plucked out of the air and not worth talking about again. Ho ever, one thing I would say about my first trade - OANDA hung for a good 7 to 8 seconds after I entered the trade before yellow sell triangle appeared, by then I of course was in cuckoo land.

  1. Hi, This is a genuine enquiry as I'm trying to understand the rational for using the 1 hour timeframe for short term trades. In effect you are trading movement within the 1 hour candle with no other information to exit the trade. Looking at the trade on a 5 min timescale would have given a more profitable exit.
    Also from your previous post - does the Oanda platform cause problems with scalping trades by delaying entry and exit.
    All the best.

  2. My trading is based on a course (forextrainingworks) I did – which I’m yet to see work consistently well for me – time will tell. I wouldn’t pay any attention to my recent trades though – they have all been a load of s**t. Regarding OANDA, they have occasionally delayed my entries and exits, but not so often for me to be worried about yet.
