Task Lol if i was to scalp on the one min i would need to move my computer into the bathroom........... Saying that i have scalped on ticks in the very early days needles to say lost loads of money. I cant quite get my head around scalping as such .. i tend to look for proper set ups then lose my bottle and grab the few points that are there ( which then appears as a scalp but not an intentional one) .... then often it does what i had expected after all.......... As we have often said its really difficult to find "the way" . I prefer to target trade but the volatility and algo trading and scalping makes target trading more difficult.... I remember when i could target for 55 pips walk away and forget it......... cant seem to do that now . Task if you want volatility on the one min the Dow comes to mind! . I wont trade tomorrow my other half is about ............ Gl all

I am well out of the Zone �50 loss on US Crude ......... shorted it on the close of the second red hourly candle, then it turned around and went berserkly north then FOMC added to the misery.. Can only trade probabilities i guess but picked up a tenner on gold earlier .............. Well done Task

Just heard from HOT he is not feeling too good but sends his best wishes to everybody. He keeps an eye on the board I am hoping he will pop on here for a celebratory posting. Lets all send Hot our best wishes!!

Hi all........... TASK is " the main man". You are the Mega Trader .. Ive been scratching about shorting the USD CHF Is was going nowhere so gave up for a few points! Then it went typical!! . Smart meters ........... No way dont want any more personal data total open to any body who wants to hack into your account .. if you are on holiday they will know your away ( ok so paranoia isn't such a bad thing sometimes) look at face book...

Hi Task hmm yes this is what happened to me earlier on i went short and the Dax then it went north........ Right now its a difficult one to call you could get a reversal as you are at the 61.8 fib on the hourly chart which is a reversal point....... ON the other hand it could push up to the trend line on the 12390...... 78.6 fib. you have some divergence on the hour but not on the 4 hour If it was me i would put a stop at 12357 and have a fixed loss or where ever you feel you can take a loss. I wish you luck with it Task

are you trading on the True ECN then ive heard you cant get stops on as its too volatile? GS that is one decent P/A saving on energy bills!

Hi Task cant get my head right today went upside down on the Dax on the first trade . Scratched and scraped got most of it back on trading currency pairs GBP USD and EUR JPY down about 40 pips. giving up now.. heads in the wrong place. GS who are you with now then Ive been with SSE almost for ever?

Hi all ........... Gs you know i dont like you to talking about my dog share SBRY . it only bring back memories of tears and great deal of sobbing from me. I am still holding a couple of thousand of them and still very much in the red... One day the dividend payments will catch up! ( I hope) Energy ive been lazy also and been with same supplier for yonks, just cant stand all the hassle of doing it... Well done Task for doing it......... Let me know GS if you do transfer to another conning energy supplier and how you get on. Task 150 on 5 trades isnt scalping but excellent trading in my view dont worry about it just keep doing what your doing it seems to be working very well.... Only advice is money managements and always get your stops on and stick to them. Use tight stops if you want............... when i scalp my stops are 3 pips above or below last support or resistance or break of trend line etc . I either get it right or get stopped out... I picked up 15 pips on NZD JPY yesterday but only now getting on the markets ....... had stuff going on but now have 5 hrs free

You are best off out of it in a decent profit its very jumpy at the moment ............ just picked up a couple of points short FTSE and 8 points long on a very skitish US Crude ............ time for a walk to clear my head

Hi task there is no stopping you very well done indeed!!!! Ive just got on the market , grabbed �15 short on S&P 500 now looking for other opportunities.

Task xaar yes definitely over sold but probably not a buy yet.... Been multi taking not a strong candidate for that. and had a swing trade over night and this morning on US crude. came out break even for all of that.. An ok week all round some good results ..... Happy weekend all investors and traders Opti

Thanks Task yes I saw that turn north and I traded from beyond there long and short on the ten min. Very well done to your self. Always good to leave on a profit. Not sure if I'll get on the markets today, other bussiness to attend to .... Happy days and good luck all

60 points on the DAX in total so far having a break now ....... My brain is tired already!

Morrison's down 12.5 p today ( good bit of analysis you reckon Task) ? plus another 20 points on DAX both ways

got on just before 1.30 ............ 35 points so far going long and short on the Dax

Still not got on the markets yet Hopefully by 1.30 I'll be on Gl task

Blimey Task ......you're buzzing I didn't even get out of bed till 8.30 and still on tea and toast. ... You are the man! Well done! !! Drinks are on you!!. Hopefully I'll report some good news from my self later . Stay in the zone task !

We might get a bounce at 12100 mark or further down at 12000....... we will see

A good day to miss to be honest......... what with CPI figures and Trump sacking his staff . I didn't get on until 3 ish by then some big moves had taken place and direction was difficult to predict. Managed to pick up 26 points trading US Crude mainly going long of the bottom. Concur re DAX

CPI figures at 12.30 pm........... Its very like to change everything........... I am not trading until after that and the dust has settled. Opti
