{quote} Some great holds there. Seems we were right with the USD reversal scenario. It was all about the timing and patience in the end with a lot of chop. Retracements definitely on the menu. EURUSD, USDCHF and EURJPY were the clean ones so far today, but needed to be fast to catch them. EURGBP - Counter RN at 0.92?
Thanks. Are you holding the same trades? Yes, I took EG 0.92.

I was not meant to be trading this week but I did catch some of these good setups.

Unfortunately I bailed out extremely early last week on USDCAD 1.27, GBPUSD 1.3625 and AUDUSD 0.76250 ... I need to work on this problem next year.

We had the same entries on most of the pairs, right? That's why I always suggest keeping a portion of the trade with sl @ b/e. These swing trades don't happen too often but they are very rewarding.

NZDUSD short trade. Possible long setups. {image}
NZDUSD, short trade update. The TL is broken. A short term top may be in place if we get a daily close below 0.70. Levels to watch.

Yup, and this part of a tough transition from many years of being a scalper / intraday trader. Other thing was simply burnout from all the break evens over the last 2-3 weeks.

I have some ideas to fix that with some clearer rules in the trading plan. Looks like we have a good action packed day today so far.

Not bad, right? As simple as it gets.

{quote} Your entry should be on a RN or a solid confluence level considering this bearish PA. That may give a chance to move your sl to b/e after a 15-20 pips bounce off the level. Otherwise, this is a sell the rallies type of scenario in my book.

I think you are holding your trades longer than before, right? It needs a little more practice. If you feel the urge to TP early, at least keep 1/3 or 1/4 of your position. That should be easier.

Did you notice the level EU bounced off again?

Yes, its really a change of mindset as these swings do give a solid boost on the account when you catch them.

Caught the earlier move off 1.2250 (bit late) and just added a quick one on 1.2175. 1.22 looks very attractive if it manages to get back up there.

USDCHF, this is an example of RN effect, even when you are trading in one direction, you can scalp off the RNs in the opposite direction (in the same account if you are allowed to hedge or in a different account).

EU and UCHF are being difficult again. I'm watching the pa closely.

I was just thinking that. Kind of died a bit of a death, but perhaps it's just a retracement. Would be surprised if EU doesn't get to 1.21 by close of play or tomorrow.

EG counter RN looks good atm, possible longs on 0.91.

EU short seems better than UCHF long. It's because of the risk off situation. I am expecting EU at 1.2075/1.21 based on my wave count.

Did you see EURCAD 1.5725 and EURAUD at 1.6250? I guess both are now possibly counter setups but offered decent rejection PA.

AUDUSD - Two levels of interest at 0.7550 and 0.7575
