Trading Exotics starting with USDMXN

I wanted to put this in Discussions to get more people involved, but I don't have one of those stupid yellow flags!

Anyway, I should start by saying Im a fairly inexperienced trader though not completely new to this and I probably have quite average results, I do tend to make money trading but not lots of it, so feel free to listen to me but I wouldn't advise doing things just because I am, Im hoping more to get other peoples inputs on Exotic crosses and hopefully everyone can improve as a result.

So I noticed a couple of weeks ago when I jumped into USDMXN it was by far my most successful pair I was trading, I tend to only short as I have an investment outside of Forex that correlates and I originally did this to limit my exposure. The quick drops have been a good source of profit since and I find the pair to be quite forgiving if your entries aren't always great like mine.
I draw up support and resistance everyday and use that plus ADR to enter and set targets for my trades. I also have EMA 26 and 100 on my chart, they aren't always for my entry, though can be, but more to alert me to any potential flurry of movement after a crossover.

For me Exotics are a potentially untapped source of income, hopefully there are others that feel the same and have something to add here
Late Thursday and Friday of last week I entered short 3 times. It was a good day.
Yesterday I didn't enter though should have done around 3pm which I regret
Today I sold again as price broke and closed below 22.2 which has been a long running resistance line.
21.7 is the next resistance area.

SL is normally for an emergency only, Exotics can be wild, and ill normally close manually if It looks like im wrong. TP can be subject to change and normally just there to grab profit is there is a quick spike in my direction.

if 22.2 is breached could pave the way to 22.455 near the ADR high. Bias is still short for now

hi Sidney,
you chart look nice and clean

good luck with you trading journey
Forex can only be understood backwards, but it must be traded forwards.
Closed short with price beginning to stall. I don't need to look for a home run just take what you can.

Watching PA between 22.2 and 21.7 now to determine next entry

That was a good time to exit shorts!
Switching to the daily for a moment: 22.2 has now been broken, bias is to the upside with 23.25 in sight

Edit, im currently not in this trade

I got fooled into taking a short postion last night and am now in a little bit of DD. My bias is still to the upside, 22.95 is key resistance point, might be a little high for today, but possible if things go wild, there should be no barriers on the way to 22.75 though.

If we get a break to the downside watch PA around 21.70. Minor S/R also at 22.01
Expecting a tough day, USDMXN is ranging at the moment and has more room to the upside. 22.72 is possible and is close to the weekly high, below their is serious resistance at 22.2 and at best price may drop to 21.95 which is the wicks have dropped to. A break and close in either direction will be significant but seems unlikely this week.

Got hammered a bit on that sell but had to cut my losses I don't see a lot of downside still for this pair

Weve broken 22.72, a close above today and should be good to go long again for tomorrow
Good chance of consolidation today between USD and most exotics, USDMXN included. No big moves expected till next week now so have taken short position to hedge other investments. Looing for 22.37, stop at yesterdays high.

Central Bank of Mexico meets next week to announce overnight rate, cut expected between .25 and .50bps, so could be a way to go up yet on this pair from next week
Moved SL to BE.
Should have taken profit when we ducked below 22.5
Been short since 22.6, so far so good. ADR low is a little bit above key R of 22.2, its in sight and I will make my decision to exit depending on PA there. This may end up being a long term entry if we can finally break through.

This is a ranging pair at the moment, looking for a good exit from my short before tomorrows central bank meeting, if not I will be stuck holding.

Strong SR can be seen at 22.2 21.9 and 21.75 to the downside. To the upside just 22.75

Chart is H1
