{quote} When trading against the trend, you shouldn't. But if you must, wait for support. example.. 2h R at 1745, 1h S at 1716. dont long close to 1745. The middle is 1730,, your stop loss back to -1716 is too big. You have to waits till much closer to 1716.. Your already behind the 8-ball, trading against the larger down trend. Sure there is a Support 1709/1598. Its just too big to pick a spot. You trades have to be small over a wider range. This cant be forced. If you day support does hold.. Several smaller trades add up. If your day support held...
a day before FMOC.. no trend but chop... I was wrong using trend trading strategy for this type of day,

I longed on the 1h. atm its ether a stop out -3 or potential for 1775. I waited for it to come to me (lion in the tall grass). So I left my stop below the 1h support. I may get lucky. adr is about 47 pips.

not an easy task, against trend. 1775 is like 1744 on a larger scale. Next h candle close above 1736 or 40 it will water my eyes.

I'll probably chicken out at 1745 - 50

Heck even 1.17359 is starting to look good

I dont think there is a right or wrong answer. I would say stay out. But if your gonna buy, find a decent support. I see the 12h flow is pushing the bear to a -5.

I'm afraid of doing anything here. I have still some longs average 1727 opened Monday and Friday. I only closed some today and didn't enter new positions since fomc is coming. I have pendies 1770/75, 1800, 1860. I can't buy it more even if I see it's going to those levels. This down trend is very dangerous for buying imo. Hope fomc shoot it up to make better selling prices.
Trade to enjoy... Money is after!
