One more loser from today. This was entirely my fault and a result of being impatient.
The initial sell limit order was the proper entry here. If executed there, it is a BE or small loser at worst. By being impatient and chasing price down it cost me an extra dozen pips or so. This is a perfect example of an F trade...LOL

Hi, swingtrade65! May I ask you the question? As I understand the whole channel must cross the MA (white on your chart)? And then only entry? Or even wait for first touch and pullback and then entry? And why you have 2 channels not one? Light blue must cross or red? Also why close in loss? You can hedge or turn over...

Hi.....You are correct, the entire channel must cross for a proper entry. Sometimes, I jump in before the entire channel crosses in anticipation of the cross. This is a more risky entry and WILL result in more losing trades. However, I am willing to take that gamble on occasion because when they do work you are in early and can add to a winner on the first retracement (See AUDJPY trade from earlier today) When they work it generally is very easy money.

Lt Blue is the 8 EMA. and it was the cross that I was trading. The reddish color is a 55 EMA that Laura talks about. I keep 2 templates and one has the 55 EMA on it....I like to give it a quick glance sometimes before I enter. I simply took the picture with the 2nd template and not the first one as I normally do.

I am in the USA now and we cannot hedge.......even if were able to hedge, I would still close it due to the fact that the trade idea is WRONG at some point. I would be more productive I think concentrating on finding proper trade setups and not managing proven losers......If the trade proves my plan wrong, I WANT OUT....when I hit the point where I would no longer be willing to add to the trade in the same direction, why would I stay and spend anymore energy on it....

Just my .02 If you throw another $1 with it you can get a coffee at Mcdonalds LOL

Yes, you are correct, and a nice one at that. Not only the crossing of the 8EMA but it was a failed cross of the 55 EMA which in my opinion you should buy on the first bar that closes above the H of the 55. I should have been looking for that entry but instead was focused on a loser......perspective is everything.
