Hoping to ride this train again. Long, taken on 5min chart. Possibly silly and premature. (No great signal. What a fool.) Posted to illustrate human foibles and indiscipline. {image} Moved to BE at +25. Daily Open line ahead but I'll hold.
The joys of waiting for your target, (the weekly pivot) only for it not to get hit. I think I drew my channel at the extremes and was lured by the weekly pivot. I tolerated a retrace, and a bit more, and a bit more. Eventually got frightened out by a spike down. Was +99, but out for +25. Found out too late that the spike down was to the 38 or 61 fib, depending on which low you take. Hey ho! But I made a profit from it so I'm not complaining too much. I'm not one for taking portions off, but any opinions about this trade will be welcome.

Hey Guys! Wasn't able to post been busy with Family.
Anyways, I closed out with a loss on USDCAD trade -40 pips. Got a +20 pips on it after. Sold Eurusd +30 pips. -10 pips on Gbpjpy buy.

Now buying NZDJPY for a quick scalp.

Market has been crazy!!! Be safe and take small profits. Market has been respecting almost every whole number,half number & structure. Most pairs seem to be ranging but we should get some big moves at some point so be ready for it because its coming.

It's always a 'catch 22' situation isn't it? The PA gets to within striking distance of your TP, but then it retraces. The catch 22 is 'shall I take what I have right now, and risk that my TP will be hit shortly after I close?.....or......shall I hang in there and risk that it goes all the way back to my BE SL?' Hindsight would say that if I had taken the first option this week, I'd have some profit instead of -37......but that's hindsight. My MM is such that -37 is not a big deal so I'm not at all concerned about that. Trade management is a different beast, and about my only rule is to not let an 'in profit' trade run back into negative territory. I'll exit at BE and try again later. As for the 'catch 22' situation, if the next highest TF still looks good in support of the trade, then I'm inclined to weather the storm and let the trade run. If the next highest TF shows signs that I might be encountering a more serious pull back than I expected, then I'll pull the pin and take whatever I've got. So each situation is unique imo, there's no real hard and fast rule

Yeah, Mr Market has been a pita this week for my style of trading. But my overall loss of -37 is not a big deal so I'll keep doing what I do, and the profits will come

I just got back from mowing lawns for a friend who cannot do this job herself, so I haven't seen the markets today. Time to prepare some food and then back for Frankie

Thanks rj.
I was buoyed by my success of +115 on Tuesday and the congrats of you and Chenzo and wanted more of the same. Such is ego. I drew my channel at the extremes - it did not start at the swing high (I won't do that again) - and I thought the intersection of my channel and the weekly pivot was nice and neat for a target. In the end I lost 74 for the sake of an extra 16. I will draw my channel more conservatively in future.
It's a difficult one because the conviction that the trade is going to do as you think is what gets us into a trade in the first place. I can remember going from +84 to BE a few years ago when I posted on the same thread as pips29. Thanks for the tip about the higher TF.
Ego and pride generate the issues I have to resolve. The discipline of having to post the end of a trade on this thread as well as the beginning is, I think, going to be a great help in that regard.
Thanks for your help, warmth and straight talking Heather.

For sure, human emotions are damn hard to keep under control. This especially true when we have had a series of wins (or losses) when we tend to think that we're invincible (or incapable) until Mr Market slaps us around a bit and brings us a bit more down to earth. As you have mentioned, this thread creates a kind of pressure that (I think) is good for us. When we have to show the entry as soon a possible after the entry, and then show the trade all the way to it's conclusion, it's real, in a way that just showing a few selected trades can never be. It doesn't matter (to me) whether someone is trading for pennies or for thousands, when we have to show our trades (but not our system or account) then we're being real...not just to each other, but more importantly, to ourselves. I think that is a way to help make us better traders

Manually exited from 2 EU shorts from Mon. 6/22, one from 1.1208 (-28 pis), and from 1.1244 (+10 pips), for -18 pips total. It got as low as 1.1223 and jumped back up to around 1.1244.

I changed my TP to +32.....this trade is not going as I would have liked, so I'll be happy if I can get it to the new TP
