Simple Boring Daily Trading

Been playing around with FX for 2-3 years now, finally managed to mess with longer TFs like 4h-Daily.
Just need a "public" place to keep my trading & analysis in check, will post analysis at US Close + sometimes London Open.

My Trading Plan is simple: Use S&R lines from Daily charts, then use Daily & H4 to finetune the entry using Candle Stick Patterns.
Looking for entries next week:
Maybe a Short on the EU
S/L on UC depends on action (beneath 1.6 or above 1.62 )
Short on EJ


I attached two screenshots to show you my tradingstyle (EU D1/H4).

I continually draw & remove S/Rs on the EU wherever they are important and up to date.

This way i channel the price into a zone, once the price gets close to the S/R lines I check H4 for reversal patterns, or wait for a break,retrace,(use as support) move on pattern.

On the second chart you see the H4 for the same time and my two trades.

I place my SL a few pips beneath the S/R line (20ish).

First one closed at 1.392
Second one closed at 1.396

Put a Limit order on UC at 1590 Short (target 50-70 pips)
MIssed the one on the EJ though.
Market seems pretty much undecided.

Still in:
limit order on UC short,
will look for short on CHFJPY and GBPUSD (broken trendline, now looking for a small retrace + bounce of resistance/former support)
Also looking short on EURGBP.

Just took the one trade last week which hit the SL.

Anyways I figured I should work on my system a little bit more after reading DanUKs thread, so I will pretty much try something very similar (still incorperating the S/R levels on Daily charts though).

I will trade:
EURUSD
GBPUSD
USDJPY

determining S/R levels on Daily Chart, Trend also from daily chart (basically defined like WIlliams did it)
and then enter on "cheap price" = retracements back to round numbers & S/R Zones.

So right now directions are:

GU: Short
EU: Short/too choppy to decide
UJ: Short

Possible Entries

GU: Possibly 1.6200
UJ: 93.00 and 93.50

I'll try to check the charts 3 times a day, to make sure I do not miss any entries. (Once before London open, Once at NY Open, and once at NY close)
