Well I'm not going to say luck had anything to do with it, even though I just said it...

This was a proper 1-2-3 when I entered, it then made a new low by a fraction of a pip and then made 5.

So I take a short on UJ, in a bit of profit + or - 2 pips. I notice the spread widening, and I thinks to myself "wonder why that's happening, oh, yah, news at 8:30". Woulda, shoulda, coulda closed with a small win.

Accidentally leveraged this one too much and guess what, it went against me
Decent loss

Third bar to the left was a lower low. Second bar to the left triggered a long ?
Sixth bar to the left was a higher high. Fifth bar triggered a short?
Or am I doing it all wrong

Second bar to the left wasn't a 1-2-3 long as the third to the left was not the low for the day. Fifth bar was indeed a short. My loss was a same bar short(Hal Special/rule bender, see my previous UC trade), it had made a new high and then came all the way back down to the open. The chart I've shown is a 5 min chart to show the price before my entry. I hope this makes sense.

That's okay. I may have it wrong but that's how I would do it. No problems.

Short EJ +5 locked I like big bar trades though they carry more of a stop risk, I will pull the plug early if they don't cooperate. Also if you connect the dots I tend to do well with trades that line up on top to a previous point.
