1st condition of my reversal setup occured. Waiting for 2nd condition/confirmation and we should have a nice 40 pip move in minimum.

I was short but the spike upwards just stopped me out. The spike went right through the trendline and also through a resistance that had been tested twice previously at 1.9678. Now the current price is just below a previous trendline. I'm wondering whether it's time to go short again expecting a bounce off this upper trendline, or if this trendline will be broken and it'll be time to go long.

Looking at the 1.9700 mark to see if it holds - key point of resisitance in the past.

It may just be pulling everyone in on Long here then reverse to Short and will pull every ones stops out, watching for this now.

If 9700 gives way I think we have no way to go but up. Channel is broken on my charts, but the #'s can be off a bit on the longer term charts.

Reversal to go south, however it is imperative for me to wait for confirmation, keeps me out of trading against momentum of the immediate move.

If your entering in this type of market you will need more than 30 pip stops, it could expand you for 50 or more before turning.

You could just re-enter if it drops back down to where you were stopped out, if you feel it will still go short.

Just a small idea, keep loose if your trading in this condition.

I think it is also important to enter at the time when your strat says it is time, and to set your stops at the levels, wether 10 or 100 pips, where your logic is no longer valid.

Come on you little rat turn around and party on down south! I knew I should've held off on that short as soon as the next 15 min candle formed a spinning top and headed back up! Oh well, once again another lesson, lol!

I would guess that most traders who went short between 1.9640 and 1.9670 were stopped out during this jump.

Now we see if it settles back down after taking most stops out and pulls the Longs stops out.

This is how the path is cleared for takeoff folks.

Anyone entering during the minutes after open were truly surprised, and mostly they entered out of excitement rather than their strategy placement.
Keep you stop where you planned to keep it, but do not keep getting in and out during the movement, you will be beaten alive.

Please take this the right way. Realizing a mistake, in the sense of analysis, is only 5% of improving. It is important to excercise and build confidence in your strat by putting yourself in conditions of complete unexpected mental duress. By desensitizing yourself to these situations, you will be able to act quickly and save yourself money or make more. The difference between the pro and amateur trader is hardly analysis, but rather confidence which leads to very efficient execution. You say you knew you should have, but if you really knew, why are you still in this position? Everything is very easy looking back, it is discipline and confidence that really need to be strengthened. Once that becomes your objective, you wont need to worry so much about being wrong. Just an opinion.
