Breakout candle wasn't good but 1 candle pullback bouncing off breakout level.
I would say - valid entry.

Hi Senjamerah,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I have noticed a difference between the Charts also.
I figure it depends on who's delivering the Feed

That is the problem with CFD brokers. Each has is own / bit different data feed for XAUUSD.
With futures contracts chart is same for all trades and does not matter what broker they use.

Do as I suggested in post #1496. Eventually, you'll be able to feel the change or improvement in your skills yourself. Do it only during the Asia sessions.

Futures data feed is more like Oanda's but it has differences too.

Candle closed above tails = trapped shorts will be stopped or forces out of trades = additional buying pressure.

Breakout long. When level held, tails below, went long on inside candle break higher.
But got stopped out because I was greedy. Stop was only 7 tick and logical target,
closest horizontal above would have given me successful trade with good RR 2:1.

Good one, I missed that one. If one looks only for breakout, he is blind to other setups.
We contracted 1.5 hours I expected stronger move when we finally breakout.
Today FOMC minutes, I don't know, but traders may already wait it before we have stronger moves.

Entered short pre-breakout because of combi setup. RR good 1.5

From Bob Volman's book, many know it, but few use it.

Yes RR only 1 on that breakout long. But as today FOMC minutes I expect only closes targets to be reached.
As usual I can be wrong about that.

At every candle low are lucky winners and losers.
This time it was me, the winner. RR 1.25

Breakout long. I like the level and the candle. Yes unfavorable RR<1 but "sure thing" target was reached.

This might be the last trade today. It takes quite a lot of time between breakout trades but it pays to wait.
