USDJPY long
There was strength downwards yes I saw it. We were at a long term resistance area so expected a deep correction.
Expectation was still NSH
1:1 was completed in the correction. Watched immediate orderflow and saw bulls regaining strength.
Took rotation candle in short term OF.
Trade was going well at first but then a giant candle decided otherwise.
If that wasn't bad enough, my SL didn't trigger AGAIN f*@*!*@@ I had to close it manually
-23 pips
I guess I should call it a week now I'm really pissed.

USDJPY long ..
Oh I see now there was a medium news event. Great.
This is one of those times where I start thinking why am I even doing this lol
Back to zero.

So the SL not triggering could have been because of the news I suppose. No liquidity at that moment? Is that possible?

Let's see if I survive this immediate correction. The sellers should defend the zone I highlighted if they are here.

The zone held as expected. Bears need to continue now to the 61.8 where I will not take profit but I will trail.

Locked in 20 just above the 38.2% and extended the target. There is some minor structure here

You all enjoying yourselves? I know a few of you seem struggling a bit these last couple of days. Don't get discouraged and review your trades. See if you followed your plan and if mistakes were made. If no mistakes were made it's next! Do not put any more thought into it. If you messed up, realize it and take the necessary step to prevent a repeat.

So my weeks results are shown below, the last trade put my account slightly more than 4,5%, not bad for a weeks ' work ' ..
Hope everyone ended their week well!
I have been struggling as you all can see, some rookie mistakes but well, we learn from them and move on to better places!!

EDIT: this is not for a showoff, just want to learn from each other and things might not always seem as good or bad in the short term, but just keeping the 'long' term picture in mind and everything should work out! Any feedback on any of my trades or anything would be appreciated. We can all learn from each other and make each other better one day at a time!

Abit hard to read the charts today as I could not find structure in confluence with Fib ratio. May end up as a watching day today.

Just want to make sure I'm not boring you all. Sometimes I see no one commenting and I feel like I'm not providing value.

Thanks Mr. Pip, I am among the ones that needed that little bit of pep talk

Not at all. I learn always something, even if I do not take always the same trades. It is much more fun, when you are active in the thread.
