I'm now short on EURUSD with that nice TC down on 4h, 1h, Candle berish on 4h,1h in the trend.

Yes a 100Pips S/L is a lot but this is a high probability trade and a R/R of 1/1 would be OK.

I'm there with you. First TP hit for 25 pips. I'm giving the rest some room to run. Nice TC.

I got stopped out on the Euro. I am getting hammered today and this month hasn't been so hot either even though both pairs I am watching have moved several hundred pips.

I just took the CT signal on the EURUSD.

Pin bar on daily, bullish outside/CT green MACD indicator on the 4H.

I believe the pin bar on daily has more to say in this move, and the CT green MACD indicator was my signal to re-enter (I traded on the Pin last night long and made 50 pips).

Hey unlv,
I'm long EURUSD too. 1.4942. To me the deciding factor (along with the MACD signal) was the second bullish engulfing candle, higher than the previous one. This is usually a pretty strong signal, but after such a strong down move, I'll make sure to take profit after 20 pips and set the rest to BE though. I'm a little uneasy with the size of my SL.

Yea Hookem, the engulfing bullish candle with the MACD signal was my entry for a CT trade.

I didn't take the EURUSD TC trade (though it is a high probability of at least 15 pips), due to the pin bar on the daily. So I missed that move.

I took the tail on from the 21ema together with the previous candle tail.
Have set both positions on a 23 trailing stop.

I entered a bit late. Was looking at a video on my PC.

Previous TC's stoploss was to big for me.

Edit 1
Nearby low was reached. Closed 50% for +40pips. Set remainder at BE

I have decided to let it run. See if 1.4800 will be reached.

What happened. Down to 1.4800 in a flash

Set trailstop to 15

Remainder closed at 1.4794

Total gain = (40+74)/2 = +57pips

Remember that I am only taking the odds on that it could be a turnaround. I am using pips that I made as a stoploss for the possibility of a turnaround based on the quick downmove below 1.4800 with high volumes. This is not something I do regularly. It is based upon years of experience.

Price only went to 1.4925. I really expected some more movement. Got 50% on +20 and remaider closed at BE

As previously posted, this formation could complete with a run down to the 1.4675 area. At this stage of the run I am thinking that a break below the 1.4750 area could result in about a 90 pip run down to the 1.4660 area....

Hi Phil, I would like to thank you for this strategy.
After what I've written on the 5MIN thread, that is not a strategy that fit for me, today I started the first time in real mode with 4HMACD and it is a nice 50pips with the Zero Line on EUR/CHF.
I don't post image or graph because I trade with virtual pc on a mac and everything is so slow, but it's easy to understand the trade looking at the 4HMACD of that cross.
Not too much $ because I'm trading micro-lots, but lots of fun.
thanks again

Are you trading in the wrong direction, at the wrong time? One thing I picked up for listening to Philip on the MP3 files was following and running with the markets emotion flow with it never fight it!

Hope you turn it around.

Good trading!

I am trading with the direction of the market. My main problem is that I keep my stops too close and/or don't wait for a retracement, 3 out of the last 5 trades I have been stopped out by 1-3 pips before the market went in the direction I have intended. However, a couple of the trades have been just stupid. Ever since I went to a live account I have not been successful. The remedy that has helped me before has been to backtest/practice more.

Interesting... as far as I understood, the idea behind your actions was - the amount of buy orders triggereed at that level. I took a bit different approach, I saw it as a move out of consolidation. But your idea is very intersting, amazing how much I can learn from you. Thank you for all you do!

hi ira ,nice to have u back
phillip said in his post:"I really expected some more movement".i think he took this trade for a posible broken TL test which price failed to test it .any way ,i also think this trade was a high risk one .
