it doesnt look as a good trade anyway, target +130 and stop -105 not a good RR 1.3

only if you play to take target number 2 which is somewhere in the 1.46x... with this bullish divergence i wouldn't do it
That bullish divergence is all I can think of today. Pretty hard to ignore.

Therefore, went long at last week's close with tight stop. Did some scalping while it was ranging so I can afford this risk.

Let's see.

Hear you there. My take profits always in place ( I use pivots for that ) but never used/needed a stop yet. Maybe lucky so far?

even if u entered this short trade, the RR is 1.3 its not a good trade

yeah lucky, because holding into positions in a market like this which can go either ways from here is dangerous... you may end up stuck in a trade for months or even blow your account... i wasnt using stop last 2 weeks but i was mostly scalping <50 pips and always going short... with this down trend you will get back to green pips if you are short but now you have bullish divergence on the daily and 4H!! so i wont do that anymore

by the way, 1.4985 is a key resistance, if it breaks it means we are going up nicely
