6th sense
Moe -

Aside from your sixth sense, what are you looking for when you take some profit off the table during one of these drops. I was sitting short earlier and took profit around 157. Didnt really get a bounce so I missed reentry.

What do you do to come up with your TP point? You are ussually spot on. +/- a few pips.

And following on from the last person, do you always put it just behind the 50 sma?

Hay Lilmoe. Do you pay much attention to the reverse head and shoulders on a 5 min chart?

there isn't anything special about the way i daily with TPs. usually, when we have something a bit more clear, i set my TP to a good fibo/FE level. that's for a normal trade. it's better to leave TP open in this current market, or make what u can and take a break if u're not greedy like me.

but now we're at extreme lows, i really never expected reaching here a month ago. i usually leave most of the TLs i draw on the chart, i don't delete them. i wait and see how price acts around any of those TLs (supported by divergence sometimes) then i make a decision.

when i thought we'd have a reversal (although price did fall 120 pips lower), i was looking at the way my m1 chart was acting, it was forming something like an ark around the monthly channel's lower TL i posted earlier. plz notice that i take PA into high consideration.

also take a look at when i said i shorted this last time. check out how your m5 candles look like before i shorted, it was supported by a bearish HD and a fibo level. i exited half of that position when i saw a reverse bullish HD on m1 and price touching m5's gann.

i don't use spread and volume analysis like Dr D and malcomb, but i know i would even do better if i did

hope that helps

like i said, i closed 1/2 when price reached m5's gann, and the rest at b/e with no TP. i wait for a good level to close it (for more pips) or leave it as is till it gets stopped out. i often close trades like these for less profit than the first 1/2 if i see a potential reversal from here and there.

that's EMA not SMA.

some people may disagree, but i use a mental stop of 25-50 pips depending on the speed of movement and the strength of the divergence.

if i shorted, for example, at 50ema, then the stop would be 25 or 30 pips. but if u noticed 50ema was 25 pips away from the place i shorted at, so i added 25 pips more = 50 pips. the trade was rather smaller than the ones i make, that's how i keep my risk tight.

there is no rule for this method. it's based on personal experience. i would urge anyone to train their eyes in watching price movements while also watching how price would act when an indicator is saying somthing, it's the best teacher of all.

Do I see an inverse H&S ??

When the neck is broken I can see 158.60 (%61.8) and then 159.40 (%78.6) as potential targets for now.

i was stopped out of the second part of that short, BUT, there should've been another entry at the same spot with the same SL, i didn't take it though. i do see a classic bearish divergence on m5, but to me it's not strong enough. i would've preferred if m1's CCI was below the 100 line when we made that 2nd top.

Yea. It does thanks. Leaving a lot of pips on the table. Driving me crazy.

i see it, but i'm not sure if it will play out. i have a short signal on m5 (scalp), but i'm hesitant to take it. it's looking much stronger now (the signal)
