Hi Indipip, It is classic one leg-let's prey on FOMO-whipsaw gimmick of the market. I can't count how many I was caught in this. It was the first bullish bond candle in this pullback. Unless market is trending like crazy it really good to wait for ...

EURUSD M15 Sore thumb but I missed it image

For me at close of the B candle price was quite messy. I would be reluctant to take it because of range mode alert. Two crosses not far away from each other and spine (72) of Strat Shadow was flattish.

Good luck Swiftman I keep my fingers crossed. Please share your trades, both winners and losers. I won't trade M1 until I'm consistently profitable on M15, so I will share M15 trades.

Thank you Strat. I will follow your friendly advice. I wanted to go too fast, too ambitiously and copy your trading style, which is level expert and trying to be on that level brings almost only frustration for me. At least I'm sober enough not to ...

Hey Swiftman, Thanks. Definitely in this case additional mistake is that I did not pay enough attention to where the price is from the perspective of Boss and Big Boss. In hindsight my attempts to go long at the end of corrective move in downward ...

Hi Dexter, Thanks. I'm glad you could learn smth from my mistakes. It's hard not to be hard on myself, when I do every possible mistake trader can imagine, again and again and again. Especially, when I start with a loss and then when second one goes ...

EURO M1 This is example of how not to trade. Everything is wrong here, so I think it is valuable example in terms of what not to do. Earned 1 virtual tick, lost 114, I would not give myself even 10 USD to trade at this stage. I give myself two ...

Thank you. I was wondering if those line were plotted by indicator, because I do not even know how to put horizontal (in MT5), so that it goes only from swing high/low to to the right and not through the whole screen. I assume that in this case red ...

Hi Strat, I have been studying your trades and have come across interesting chart from 16.06.2022 EURO trading session. I have 5 questions. 1. There is no TP of short from 1.05170. I guess that you took profit above doji marked by me. Am I right? 2. ...

EURUSD M1 More trend trading, less banging against the wall. image

Thank you Swiftman your comments are really helpful. This is smth I will consider and test it as a potential scenario in my trading - what would happen with my PnL if I closed 1/2 trailing very aggresively and leave 1/2 to close on reverse PASR. ...

Trailing SL too aggresively is a real problem for me. Today I got myself out of a good trade too early. MUST BE FEAR ISSUE. image Yes, I know, so you take only SR levels from higher TFs like M15/H1. You do not watch PA on those TFs and it does not ...

EURUSD M1 From the perspective of old days I was shooting like crazy today. Overall made 10 trades. +2,5% 1. Really happy with this one. Short with main trend, quite close to 20, exit with dragonfly doji. 2. Strat's Saddle. PA showing HLs. I was ...

Thank you. I have actually made similar mistake. I left pending order open closed the computer, went to do other business just to discover 3h later that I'm long! Just as in your case it was still in profit. LESSON LEARNED. image Good and bad ...

Thank you. So PA in yellow box was deciding factor that made you open short from 30780. What about that pretty fat Strat Shadow was pierced with only two bearish candles? Was this also important for you? Also, I wanted to ask about trade management. ...

30780 short was into support

No. It was too close for me to TL line. Actually shooting star formed right after trade would be triggered, so anyway I would close it.

I do not know if you mean this and I have seen it earlier: there is no TP mark of long from 30569.

EURUSD M1 Winner image EURUSD M5 Loser This is how TL looked before taking the trade. image And after. I didn't readjust TL line and it changes outlook a bit. On positive side of this trade (apart from learning) is capital preservation - I ...
