{quote} Lol you're right, most times the news just even makes the set up work quicker. I don't know why it still bothers me. Also, yeah I agree on posting expectations. I'll start doing that next week, would help to be better prepared.
yeah just forget them. i wish for news tbh when price doesnt move. i never look atthe calendar, there really is no need to, it just confuses you.

good us data, down goes the dollar, and u say WTF??? then expecrts come and try to say yeah this was gonna happen with that data etc.


just forget them.

posting expectations here will help us take better decisions (we dont want to be publicly ridiculed when posting right ?). so in my cae at least, when i hand pick and give setups they tend to work no matter of my management. ussually on the smaller timeframes 1m-5m-15m. i take them a bit more seriously

Looking at EURJPY 1H chart. Could be an opportunity here. {image}
It worked out but I never entered. Price was moving all over the place and the 1H candle I wanted to use for entry was too big.

On to the next one Monday!!!

I work with 15 min exclusively. Seeing it better.
Entries are spot orders and order flow can he fast or tricky. Not sure how placing in advance might work. More like just immediately after entry can post.

ahh not placing in advance mate. just seeing one leg of a move and then waiting for the pb and our entry for the second leg.
thats what i meen by excpectation. i can understand the pacement of your stop orders, i;ve seen it quite a lot from a friend.

15m used to be my favourite for a while. but 30m i can see more data and i;ve learned by looking at itto understand whats is goin on below it. if need be, i switch ofc.

immediate after entry is good as well.

anyway, have a good weekend!!

expectations

edit. idea not yet valid. we still dont have a clean break but still stands as long as the lows are not violated. we need a clean break up and a retest
edit. lows violated. stupid trends going non stop....

ChfJpy projections -

Looking to short around current price area or a little above if I get my preferred signal.
I may not go all in. The previous low was not clearly broken and didn't create a lower low.... but I'm feeling adventurous.

EurCad Short.
Found the set up too late and didn't have time to post an expectation.
Jumped in late and currently at 1.5R.

more plans, no trade running. waiting for london and it doesnt mean everything will trigger, i might not take even one.

just plans and thoughts, nothing more. to be prepared. different criteria must be met to take each, different management on each etc.

i sujject u do the same before pulling the trigger on any trade, be prepared to see what u want to see and never say, ah, i like this.

say "i will like this, if this and that happens"

goodnight

just a small update on the yesterdays post for education and motivation

basically with the single uj win we end up with +2.4rr. (lookin good for further upside) the 2 losses costed -2rr and +1.5rr on usdmxn still running. aint bad at all if you ask me.
u can make money if you follow rules and not your heart.

we could find an entry on gu if we tried on 5m. but entering on 5m for a swing trade is kinda hard

Price already in a nice zone to buy after making a higher high. Now just waiting for my preferred signal to confirm my entry.

I do not apply any indicators. I am also a new learner. It is very profitable to make a currency pair right. TV

Maybe something happening here. Only thing I wuold worry about is that these CAD pairs are pretty extended on the daily so not sure if I am talking myself out of the trades or if I'm on to something.

my view on uc. could be wrong but if i was trading like an investor i woudl be in sorts all the way from the top, now i would just wait for it to go lower.

also thing to notice, every retail is long on uc.
