GBPUSD 58tick Short Was a bit risky as price corrected 100% but that gives good risk reward. SL right above the swing. Was hit -4 pips or -17 euro {image}

Currently just waiting for new opportunity long or short.
It is not very clear to me if price will correct or make a NSL (edit: NSH I mean). Ranging a bit on 58tick (GBPUSD)

Hi Guys, good Morning, Seems i had no luck at first attempt, let me try again with my question : "For whom that have set a specific duration to his trading session, How do you manage a trade that is taking longer to develop? Say you entered a trade that is in line with what is taught here, but price haven't already made a satisfiying move in your direction, and your session is running out of time. What would you do? 1-Close the trade anyway at BE or a small loss 2-Set the stop accordingly to the plan and the present market conditions and walk away...
Hello Maxx sorry your question was missed. The simple answer is to consult your trade plan. Has anything occurred what would have you change the way you manage your trade? We can't always expect the market to be efficient with the trade progression. The market speeds up and slows down at will we must be patient and let the trade run its course. Patience is at time the hardest thing for us to find sometimes but we must have it. I hope this helps.
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Why did you go long on the first trade and added on a losing trade, just curious, we might all learn something.

Edit: agressive D buy?

Hey Evo,
I appreciate your posts. I was wondering if you could explain why you have the area in the rectangle marked as your AOI for longs? It's not clear to me on the chart.
Thanks

Hey maxx I think how you handle it is up to you to decide.
Personally I would not just let the SL sit below/above the swing and then leave.
If you're already at BE with your SL, you can consider just taking profit and leave or set a TP and leave to give the trade a chance.
I think everybody has a different opinion about it and it's up to you what you feel comfortable with.

yes and due to overall structure (Rectangle is typical area for expectation failure of the previous down swing). Bears should have been able to achieve more, given the previous down swing.

i think better traders will have profited from the upwards momentum at the moment but i haven't found any retracements into a zone i felt comfortable going long in.
