{quote} I got stopped(obviously) on that earlier trade and havent gotten a trigger to re-enter yet. My rules dont let me place any trades after noon on fridays. So if we dont get a setup then I close the laptop... Still a 30% macro position at 1.0850(macro position is aggregate 0.9880 at the moment)... flat otherwise... The number at 10am could take us back to the lows easily...
took the long @ 1.0810 SL 1.0799 TG 1.1336

Filled manually....

If I get stopped Ill try a breakout short

I'm not trading a 3 m.. but it would look like this if i did. just using it to see if pa is acting bullish in steps.

The fix should be meaningful here... regardless of PA I am not touching my earlier long until we are over 0955...

3m would have been s/o.. But stops had a chance to be moved to b.e. The 5m r was not broken enough.

Looking for consensus. I have one 6h 8h and 12h that's bearish already. i have another 6h that will be bearish, if today closes below 1.0813. Needless to say the lower time frames are bearish on these 2. I have a third that the 6h remains bullish till 1.0635. It is a late one. Forth another late one will turn sometime below 1.07. They are late, but good filters. Even so there is a lot of real-estate before to test them. Pa is below 1.0835. Bulls were unable to get a 3 minute run. price looks to test the spent algo at 1.0805.5

Yep, there is goes...

I won't take that breakout trade south of 1.0799 due to the time of week... I'll just take the stop and hold core positions

I had those late trades +4. All of my trades went + 4 after 6 pips. All but the last one of the snowball. It never went up the 6. I took a 30 pip hit on it. Cot is late for some reason.

I think i will use this in the future. It seemed to foretell bulls being weak. Even as it was rising off support.

When the 3 min broke down is gave up over 80pips. Off a 3 min failure. That's an impressive signal.

Am feeling so bad and down today...I had euro shorts after fomc at 1.0950 and 1.0972.. it went all the way to 1.1034 during asia session... I booked loss at 1.1000 thinking it wil support and go to 1.11 or 1.12 during ecb
Booked loss as scared loss will be more if jumps and wipe account ..

Now today I see cost came on Thursday US session and today would have been bumper profit .it's at 1.0794 almost 200 pip profit

ALWAYS this happens in euro when I book loss position comes in cost next day andmore profit later

But if I hold position with loss.it jumps more to a bigger loss

Why it happens
