Overall, aDtr has generally decreased in value after several months, leaving only 18 pairs on the radar, and it might shrink even further tomorrow. Missed good signals on GBP/AUD, USD/JPY, and CHF/JPY (the previous trade hit BE+2) — all JPY dropped sharply.

AUD and NZD suddenly surged in the last 3 hours—EUR/AUD and EUR/NZD plummeted vertically by -70 pips, Lol. Looks like it almost failed but didn’t hit the SL yet. The Euro, after reaching BE+2, suddenly jumped 18 pips. Good game, well played. If it manages to form a V for Vendetta channel and hits TP, it would be the luckiest trade ever. Lol Enough for today.

Once you step outside the established rules, loss awaits. It seems the morning session (local time, my time here) is too early for trade. The fractal is also broken. So loss both 0.5% (total 1%). Danger trading before London Open. Lol

Damn! CHF/JPY going vertical horizon. Price movements within a narrow range are very explosive.

What a move by USD/JPY
