Let's see where sell pressure will kick in.. These intraday highs up until 1.1790 roughly are all critical levels!

I understand that you don't understand, but understand that different Time Frames have different Market Structure.

I will encourage you to study up on Market Structure, and Break of Market Structure as they relate to HH, HL, LH, LL, H,, and L.

The downside risk is greater at this stage, I agree. My bearish target is 1.17100

You are absolutely welcome...

Market Structure is key.

Once you find the trend, go with it, and use a Sniper entry to reduce your stoploss and Risk, thereby increasing your RRR.

I rather have the best RRR than the highest Pips.

EXPLANATION
Imagine we both enter the same trade with the same lotsize and profit target of 100 Pips.

You entered with a StopLOSS of 10 Pips, I entered with 5 Pips.

Your Risk/Reward Ratio, RRR = 10:100 = 1:10

My RRR = 5:100 = 1:20

This means that for every $1 you risk in the market, you will only make $10. In my case, I will make $20 for every $1 invested.

This is why RRR is very important.

Sorry, but your understanding of RRR is wrong. If neither of your stops gets hit, and your entries were close to the same price, you will both make the same amount of money.

Like I said hours ago: intraday, greater chances of just going reaching both ways before taking any serious direction.

First the range shift down, then up, then down now up again, but without remaining above or under any meaningful moves long enough, Range Heaven all day again!

The longer bears hold on though while remaining low and stopping big bulls incessantly from any moves comparable to their own lasts days moves, the more momentum they are building for the longterm, hence the few extra shorts I got accumulated with tight stops, the most voluminous taken at the highest range top, where I sold my last at 65.

Patience is key now, and only a 1H close above days high can change that at this level, after ranging conditions were solidified beyond volatility, at least for my positions

Happy afternoon and night everyone!

Dude,
You are right and I'm right, but you are technically wrong.

WHY???????
It's called a Risk/ Reward Ratio for two reasons.

1... The risk involved
2... The reward anticipated

When you have the two parameters, you can then determine the ratio.

My argument is based on Risk & Reward Ratio, not just the amount of money made.

We may both make $100, but when we consider the Risk & Reward Ratio factor, I would have made more.

You are smart for putting the caveat --- if no stopLOSS was hit. What if both stoploss got hit, the dude with higher stoploss loses more.

If 1.1740 breaks it may take a lot longer than a week to move back to 1.118XX....

Always love your style mate, thanks for sharing !


OK, best scenario here was a slow but steady down move and enough volatility kicking in next EU to cut through or further down beyond 1720s, like a knife in butter.. BUT here we are !

But first off, hit some more TPs along the way, biggest fishes for me today ! Hope it to be some of my smallest at end of month !

... am selling again the break of low of this 15m cdl, sellstop1.17569, but for 13pips.. and that would probably end this first volatility war, now being won by bulls... And I would also be back in the green with my EURUSD trades. Wait, what ? didnt this crazy fellow just share a million losses in a row ? I scalp a lot ... AND more importantly It is all reliant on proper risk management. And that does not mean a simple % per trade, no. It depends on the strategy, on the setup,...
Ignored
Happy trader as always, rain or shine, does not matter!

Now, as long as 1767 is not hit again(little chance, but extremely good if not hit!), Ive got a new sell stop at 1.17480 for 12 pips AND at 1.17400 but for a 2H trade !

{quote} Sold at 1757 and again at 17600 and will sell again at around 53 and 46 as long as 66 not hit. 1 for 24 pips, 3 longer term positions depending on 1720s-30s reaction, if we get there.
Ignored
BUT if we go right back up above 52 and hang from here, probably 70s playing and ranging still... Ive got a too good range trade long setup from there for 7 pips, again...

And 1st intraday volatility growing battle has just ended in my book. Bears 1 Bulls 0 ! And now on the 1H the battle has begun ! Sell stop 1.17522, half TP at candle close at RSI < 25, SL close above days high. Time to bat again ! Batter batter batterrrr ! {image}
Ignored
This 1H trade will have a moving SL for even less risk, if price breaks the new low of the day in this hour ! For now, SL and TP still the same...

Will know soon !

3 - 2 - 1 Liftoff !?

My Sweet Spot Areas for Tomorrow

  1. For tomorrow only: If the vacuum after-effect of the long bearish candle from Friday kicks in, we might see a re-visit to 1.1788 and maybe even 1.1825 area.. So we must be awake against sudden bull attacks!
  2. Bears will probably keep pushing until 1.1725 area roughly but I personally have no gut feeling that they will go further.. At least for tomorrow we should have some minor pullback at least..
  3. Overall the descending wedge prevails and candles are still flowing in it.. Meaning: Environment is still bearish!

I hope it helps
