{quote} fuck this trade.. just hanging around the S3/S4 zone now.. have a feeling tomorrow will be a decent bear day if it breaks today's /tomorow's low..have to join in reluctantly in hindsight, should've held tha short from 1900. Still finding that "sweet spot" of when to consider a day a "trend" day and hold on to trades.
i still think that perhaps staying in the market longer increases risk... especially of profit diminishing. and also, like i said before... your xx% target on EU is a lot harder than xx% / 4 other pairs...
still no thought on that?

{quote} i have to stop this bs Revenge nonsense, then im all good.. discipline was down today, markets open from weekend threw me a bit... NZD got raped, as did i along with it, took 2 trades i shouldn't have (that why i got raped) i still think that perhaps staying in the market longer increases risk... especially of profit diminishing. and also, like i said before... your xx% target on EU is a lot harder than xx% / 4 other pairs...
anyway, i've "loosened up" my range to trend zones. i figure if it's a true bull/bear day, then i can accept the loss on a fade to hold on to a trend trade longer.

{quote} i don't know yet. right now i'm trying to get this last piece of the puzzle down (range to trend transition). right now im just a one market guy so i can get the 'universal' rules down. anyway, i've "loosened up" my range to trend zones. i figure if it's a true bull/bear day, then i can accept the loss on a fade to hold on to a trend trade longer.

{quote} trouble is knowing when it is a trend day... if you are on wrong side and the day is gone... it will suck, again thats why im only after 10 pips, as long as my win % is higher then idc what the day does. 3rd day in a row in profit, ill keep it going for now, see if divergence pops up in a few month time

{quote} yea, there's definitely an advantage to scalping like that. basically you're playing the levels, while i'm playing structure AND levels..so twice as hard! let me think about that for a bit..
hm yes twice as much work, best hope the profit is higher

closed it at 1950. not in the mood to play late day reversal right now. hopefully this minor change of widening my range/trend zone will help going forward..if not..i'll try out don's suggestion
link up some levels and see where we go

not sure what price will do here. with several news coming up, i'm hoping it doesn't go back above 1810. if it does, then i will flip to cover the value above.
a breakdown is what i want, but i think it would be quick dip...so have to react quickly.
