{quote} I see that. I may have got too over enthusiastic. I figured 2379 was probable. I tried to stretch it out to avoid drawdown. the day did close on the bear side. so it should retry 237x again, is my thinking
it would work at a regular day.. not a holiday.. slow like this....it messes up my ea a little..

{quote} your 1 h should be 2434 ish.. 2421 is the month close. it does have some restice to break though to go higher. I have all tf as higher except the day, I am looking to buy the retrace the same as stated Friday.
ok.. good.. my worry is tonight Euro and German ZEW info.. you know they beat all the time.. and currently price is just hanging here, not give me enough room to work with..

{quote} it's unlikely L close will be above 2445 now, unless it happens in the next 40 min. . chances look better for 233x and your 4h tested.
Gator, your 233x ,

{quote} below the week 2444/45, has the month at 2421. with the day closing lower 2401... we got a shot at 2336.
Gator, your prediction came true again....
I have to say, I am disappointed with my early exits. I am currently setting up 2nd account to trade this EA, which will come with lock up period. Also target min 50% to 61.8% retracement

By Trading Legend ...

“As long as a stock is acting right, and the market is right, do not be in a hurry to take a profit. You know you are right, because if you were not, you would have no profit at all. Let it ride and ride along with it. It may grow into a very large profit, and as long as the “action of the market does not give you any cause to worry,” have the courage of your convictions and stay with it.”

My 3rd position triggered at 1.2338 while I was gone, stops at 1.2318, fully loaded. Just waiting for me now. Could have just shorted until Gator's number and taken the longs from there =) A lot to learn still.

Eur/Usd On 2/20/2018 at 8am est.. Boulder Multi Time Frame System :

1H, Downtrend, Trend stop at 1H close 1.2422, Running Period: 48x1H
4H, Downtrend, Trend stop at 4H close 1.2545, Running Period: 1 x 4H
Daily, uptrend, Trend stop at day close 1.2234, Running Period: 62 days

( Note: Those stops will change with hour close and price action)

Trading Strategy: Currently downtrend for 1H and 4H, uptrend for daily. If you trade 1H trend, preference is to short positions for pullbacks as long as downtrend stop 1.2422 held at 1H close

Or you can wait for long confirmation per your trading time frame or your set ups. As trading legend Jesse Livermore said

“Do not anticipate and move without market confirmation—being a little late in your trade is your insurance that you are right or wrong.”

Good entry!
Let see if it drops to 2275/88 or not.
Daily closes above 2407 is good, otherwise, we are facing 2275/88 ....
